Management Commentary

“Emerson delivered strong underlying orders in the second quarter with margin expansion and adjusted earnings exceeding our expectations,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “T1We achieved another quarter of record gross profit and adjusted segment EBITA margins, supported by our Emerson Management System and demonstrating the value customers attribute to our leading technology. T2Our superior first half performance and ability to navigate the tariff environment give us the confidence to update our 2025 outlook."

Karsanbhai continued, “T3We have also marked the conclusion of Emerson's portfolio transformation with the completion of the AspenTech buy-in on March 12. We are pleased to be making significant progress on the integration. In addition, T4our review of strategic alternatives for our Safety & Productivity segment concluded the best value for our shareholders is to retain the business and continue to drive the segment's industry leading margins and cash flow. Looking ahead, T5we are excited to capitalize on the growth potential of our transformed portfolio, supported by secular drivers, and to sustain the excellent operational performance we have consistently delivered since 2021.”

2025 Outlook

The fiscal year 2025 guidance framework now reflects the full ownership of AspenTech. Net sales guidance increases to ~4%, as the impact from foreign exchange is now expected to be flat, and underlying sales are held at the midpoint. GAAP EPS decreases due to transaction-related costs, while adjusted EPS guidance increases at the midpoint. Expectations for operating cash flow and free cash flow are updated to $3.5B - $3.6B and $3.1B - $3.2B, respectively, as strong operational performance partially offsets transaction-related headwinds of ~$0.2B. The 2025 outlook assumes returning ~$2.3B to shareholders through $1.1B of share repurchases and ~$1.2B of dividend.

Guidance figures are approximate.

Underlines use the same word lists the scores use. AI, recession and tariffs follow Palanor’s word counter, so those counts match it exactly on the same text. Layoffs and buybacks use the terms the model was given. The model’s count is an estimate by meaning, not by string, so it can differ from the underlines.
