Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. & SUBSIDIARIES

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

(1)  i 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, 2020. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation - see Note 12.

Effective October 1, 2020, the Company adopted two accounting standard updates and one new accounting standard which had an immaterial impact on the Company's financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. These included:

Updates to ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, which eliminate the requirement to measure impairment based on the implied fair value of goodwill compared to the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, goodwill impairment will be measured as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value.

Updates to ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, which align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a software hosting arrangement with the requirements for costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software.

Adoption of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach to estimate lifetime expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables.

(2)  i 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 12 for additional information about the Company's revenues.

 i The following table summarizes the balances of the Company's unbilled receivables (contract assets), which are reported in Other current assets, and its customer advances (contract liabilities), which are reported in Accrued expenses.     
Sept 30, 2020June 30, 2021
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)$ i 458  i 500 
Customer advances (contract liabilities)( i 583)( i 774)
      Net contract liabilities$( i 125)( i 274)
 / 
    
The majority of the Company's contract balances relate to arrangements where revenue is recognized over time and payments from customers are made according to a contractual billing schedule. The increase in net contract liabilities was due to customer billings which exceeded revenue recognized for performance completed during the period. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 included $ i 53 and $ i 415 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, 2021 for performance obligations that





6




were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was not material.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $ i 6.6 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately  i 80 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next  i 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the subsequent two years thereafter.     

(3)  i WEIGHTED-AVERAGE COMMON SHARES

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

(4)  i ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

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 $ i 1.6 billion, net of cash acquired. This business, which has annual sales of approximately $ i 170 and is reported in the Automation Solutions segment, expands the Company's offerings in the power industry to include the digitization and modernization of the electric grid. The Company recognized goodwill of $ i 960 ( i none of which is expected to be tax deductible), identifiable intangible assets of $ i 783, primarily intellectual property and customer relationships with a weighted-average useful life of approximately  i 11 years, and deferred tax liabilities of approximately $ i 185. Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included first-year pretax acquisition accounting charges related to backlog amortization and deferred revenue of $ i 7 and $ i 3, respectively, while year-to-date results included $ i 24 and $ i 11, respectively.

On November 17, 2020, the Company acquired the remaining interest of an equity investment for approximately $ i 19, net of cash acquired.

The Company acquired  i three businesses in fiscal 2020,  i two in the Automation Solutions segment and  i one in the Climate Technologies segment, for $ i 126, net of cash acquired.

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 return on their initial investment. As of August 4, 2021, the equity holders have received a return on their investment substantially up to the threshold. Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive approximately $ i 600 on a pretax basis through periodic distributions over the next two 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 distributions to the Company. As of June 30, 2021, no amounts have been recognized in the financial statements related to this gain contingency.

Total$ i 181  i 88  i 401  i 243 
 / 

The increase in intangibles amortization for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 was due to the OSI acquisition, including backlog amortization of $ i 7 and $ i 24, respectively. The change in Other for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 included a favorable impact from foreign currency transactions of $ i 25 due to losses in the prior year and a favorable impact from pensions. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the change in Other reflects a favorable impact from pensions and investment-related gains, including gains in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 of $ i 21 from an investment sale and $ i 17 from the acquisition of the remaining interest of an equity investment, and a gain in the second quarter of $ i 31 from the sale of an equity investment.

(7)  i 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. Costs incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 relate to the Company's initiatives that began in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 to improve operating margins and were increased in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for the Company's products. Expenses incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 included costs related to workforce reductions of approximately  i 1,900 employees. The Company expects fiscal 2021 restructuring expense and related costs to be approximately $ i 200, including costs to complete actions initiated in the first nine months of the year.

(8)  i TAXES

Income taxes were $ i 151 in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and $ i 51 in 2020, resulting in effective tax rates of  i 19 percent and  i 11 percent, respectively. The current year rate included $ i 24 of favorable net discrete tax items which decreased the rate  i 3 percentage points. The prior year rate included $ i 57 of discrete benefits, which decreased the rate  i 12 percentage points, related to updates to estimates for the prior year U.S. income tax return and the impact of a research and development tax credit study.

Income taxes were $ i 431 for the first nine months of 2021 and $ i 310 for 2020, resulting in effective tax rates of  i 21 percent and  i 20 percent, respectively. The current year and prior year rates included favorable net discrete items which reduced the rates  i 1 percentage point and  i 3 percentage points, respectively.

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 $ i 73 of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020, half of which is due in December 2021 with the remainder due in December 2022.

(10)  i FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Following is a discussion regarding the Company’s use of financial instruments:
Hedging Activities – As of June 30, 2021, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $ i 1.9 billion, and commodity hedge contracts totaled approximately $ i 139 (primarily  i 42 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, 2021 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 € i 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.

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, 2021, the fair value of long-term debt was $ i 6.9 billion, which exceeded the carrying value by $ i 526. 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, 2020.
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.  i No collateral was posted with counterparties and  i none was held by the Company as of June 30, 2021.

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 2021, net sales were $4.7 billion, up 20 percent compared with the prior year, supported by foreign currency translation which added 4 percent and the Open Systems International, Inc. (OSI) acquisition which added 1 percent. Underlying sales, which exclude foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, were up 15 percent. Automation Solutions underlying sales were up high single digits, as all businesses turned positive and all geographies were up mid-to-high single digits. Commercial & Residential Solutions underlying sales were up sharply, reflecting strong growth across all businesses and geographies including robust demand in North American residential markets and global cold chain markets. Both business platforms also benefited from the impact of COVID-19 on prior year comparisons.
Net earnings common stockholders were $627, up 57 percent, and diluted earnings per share were $1.04, up 55 percent compared with $0.67 in the prior year. Operating results increased $0.33 per share, reflecting higher sales and strong segment margins due to significant savings from the Company's restructuring and cost reset actions. Third quarter results also benefited from lower restructuring costs ($0.09 per share) and favorable foreign currency translation ($0.06), offset by a higher tax rate compared to the prior year ($0.10 per share) and first year acquisition accounting charges related to the OSI acquisition ($0.01 per share).

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Key elements of the Company's financial condition for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2020 and the nine months ended June 30, 2020 follow.
 June 30, 2020Sept 30, 2020June 30, 2021

Net debt-to-net capital37.9 %33.2 %32.4 %
Interest coverage ratio12.9 X14.4 X17.8 X
The Company's operating working capital decreased $455 compared to the same quarter last year largely due to timing-related reductions reflecting current business conditions. The interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes plus interest expense, divided by interest expense) of 17.8X for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compares to 12.9X for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase reflects higher pretax earnings in the current year.
Operating cash flow for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was $2.7 billion, an increase of $866 compared with $1.9 billion in the prior year due to higher earnings and favorable operating working capital. Free cash flow of $2.4 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 (operating cash flow of $2.7 billion less capital expenditures of $350) increased $845 compared to free cash flow of $1.5 billion in 2020 (operating cash flow of $1.9 billion less capital expenditures of $329), reflecting the increase in operating cash flow. Cash used for investing activities was $1.9 billion largely due to the OSI acquisition. Cash used for financing activities was $1.3 billion, primarily due to dividends and share repurchases.
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, half of which is due in December 2021 with the remainder due in December 2022.

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 $24 billion and stockholders' equity of $9 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 2021 OUTLOOK
The Company delivered strong financial performance in the quarter, despite pandemic and operating-related challenges, including material costs, availability, logistics, and labor constraints. Overall, the Company expects continued improvement in industrial and commercial demand over the remainder of 2021. Operational, supply chain, and materials inflation is expected to remain challenging through the remainder of the fiscal year. For the full year, consolidated net sales are expected to be up 9 to 10 percent, with underlying sales up 5 to 6 percent excluding a 3 percent favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a 1 percent favorable impact from the OSI acquisition. Automation Solutions net sales are expected to be up 5 to 6 percent, with underlying sales flat to up 1 percent excluding a 3 percent favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a 2 percent favorable impact from the OSI acquisition. Commercial & Residential Solutions net sales are expected to be up 17 to 18 percent, with underlying sales up 15 to 16 percent excluding a 2 percent impact from favorable foreign currency translation. Earnings per share are expected to be $3.78 to $3.80, while adjusted earnings per share, which exclude a $0.24 per share impact from restructuring actions, a $0.07 per share impact from OSI first year acquisition accounting charges and fees, and a $0.03 per share equity investment gain, are expected to be $4.06 to $4.08. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $3.6 billion and free cash flow, which excludes targeted capital spending of $600 million, is expected to be approximately $3.0 billion. Fiscal 2021 share repurchases are expected to be in the amount of $500 million. However, future developments related to COVID-19, including further actions taken by governmental authorities, potential shutdowns of our operations, or delays in the stabilization and recovery of economic conditions could further adversely affect our operations and financial results, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. See Item 1A – “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Statements in this report that are not strictly historical may be "forward-looking" statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and Emerson undertakes no obligation to update any such statements to reflect later developments. These risks and uncertainties include the scope, duration and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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, 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, 2020 and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The United Kingdom's (UK) withdrawal from the European Union (EU), commonly known as "Brexit", was completed on January 31, 2020. Negotiations over the terms of trade and other laws and regulations took place during 2020 and an agreement between the EU and the UK was reached on December 24, 2020, which included zero tariffs and quotas on goods. The Company's net sales in the UK are principally in the Automation Solutions segment and represent less than two percent of consolidated sales. While there could be certain incremental costs for logistics and other items, the Company expects any impact of these items will be immaterial.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures 

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. This system also is designed to ensure information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's certifying officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on an evaluation performed, the certifying officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
