Feb. `01 Order Comments: - ------------------------ Industrial Automation orders declined modestly versus January, driven by increased softness in the U.S. markets as well as continued unfavorable currency impacts. Excluding currency, Europe and the other international markets continue to experience solid demand. HVAC orders reflect an improved U.S. air conditioning environment compared to earlier in the year, as well as continued strength in the international markets. Electronics and Telecom orders reflect the cancellation of orders for power systems and precision air conditioning systems that were placed in late 2000 and were significantly in excess of demand at the time as customers reserved space 2 for anticipated 2001 needs. In addition, demand softened for embedded power supplies and connectivity products, driven by the industry-wide slowdowns in the communications and computing markets. Overall, new orders received in January and February were in line with the same period a year ago. February orders are pro forma, including the fiscal 2000 Jordan Telecommunications Products and Ericsson Energy Systems acquisitions. Appliance and Tools orders reflect continued softness in motor and appliance components demand, as well as recent softness in the storage solutions markets. Process orders continue to reflect the growing success of PlantWeb and Emerson Performance Solutions, widespread strength among control, valve and measurement products, and overall increases in capital spending by customers in select markets. Upcoming Investor Events - ------------------------ On Tuesday, May 1, 2001, Emerson will issue the Company's second fiscal quarter results.
