August 2019 Orders Comments
Total Emerson trailing three-month orders were up 2 percent with underlying orders up 3 percent, excluding a 1 percent unfavorable currency impact.
Automation Solutions orders increased 4 percent and were up 5 percent on an underlying basis excluding unfavorable currency of 1 percent. Underlying orders growth was in-line with management's expectations as global demand remained stable.
Underlying orders in the Americas were up slightly, reflecting a stabilization of demand in North America and moderating growth in Latin America. Europe underlying orders were up mid-single digits, reflecting continued strong investment activity across process and hybrid end markets. Underlying orders growth in Asia, Middle East & Africa remained strong, with Asia up high-single digits, supported by continued infrastructure investment across the region.
Commercial & Residential Solutions orders were down 3 percent with underlying orders down 2 percent, excluding unfavorable currency of 1 percent, and were slightly below management's expectations primarily due to continued unfavorable weather conditions in North America and slower conditions in global professional tools markets. These impacts were somewhat offset by stronger Asia Climate Technologies underlying orders, which were up low-single digits for the second consecutive month.
