Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. & SUBSIDIARIES

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

(1) 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, 2021. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation to reflect the business combination with AspenTech (see Note 4), which is reported as a new segment and includes the historical results of Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business. These businesses were previously reported in the Automation Solutions segment (see Note 13).

Effective October 1, 2021, the Company adopted three accounting standard updates which had an immaterial or no impact on the Company's financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. These included:

•Updates to ASC 805, Business Combinations, which clarify the accounting for contract assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In general, this will result in contract liabilities being recognized at their historical amounts under ASC 606, rather than at fair value in accordance with the general requirements of ASC 805.

•Updates to ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require the recognition of a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax with any incremental amount as a non-income based tax. These updates also make certain changes to intra-period tax allocation principles and interim tax calculations.

•Updates to ASC 321, Equity Securities, ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which clarify how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when evaluating observable transactions.

(2) 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 13 for additional information about the Company's revenues.

The following table summarizes the balances of the Company's unbilled receivables (contract assets), which are reported in Other assets (current and noncurrent), and its customer advances (contract liabilities), which are reported in Accrued expenses and Other liabilities.     

	Sept 30, 2021			June 30, 2022
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)		$	528		1,323
Customer advances (contract liabilities)		(730)			(917)
Net contract assets (liabilities)		$	(202)		406

The majority of the Company's contract balances relate to (1) arrangements where revenue is recognized over time and payments from customers are made according to a contractual billing schedule, and (2) revenue from term software license arrangements sold by AspenTech where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. The change in the net contract balance was due to the AspenTech acquisition, which added net contract assets of approximately $700, partially offset by an increase in net contract liabilities for the Company's existing businesses due to customer billings exceeding revenue recognized for performance completed during the period.

6

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 included $63 and $519 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, 2022 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was not material.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $8.5 billion, which includes approximately $700 related to the AspenTech acquisition. AspenTech's remaining performance obligations primarily relate to software maintenance in long-term contracts for unspecified future software updates provided on a when-and-if available basis. The Company expects to recognize approximately 80 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the following two years.     

(3) COMMON SHARES AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

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

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2021	2022	2021	2022
Basic shares outstanding	598.2	592.8	598.7	593.6
Dilutive shares	3.9	3.4	3.6	3.3
Diluted shares outstanding	602.1	596.2	602.3	596.9

The Company changed the terms of its annual performance share awards issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The new terms meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and therefore expense will be recognized on a fixed basis over the three-year performance period. The terms of the performance share awards issued in fiscal 2020 and 2021 are unchanged and will therefore continue to be accounted for as liability awards and marked-to-market each period based on changes in the stock price.

As discussed in Note 4, Emerson completed the acquisition of AspenTech in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. New AspenTech, as defined in Note 4, operates as a separate publicly traded company and has various stock-based compensation plans, including stock options and restricted stock units, which are settled in their own common stock and are accounted for as equity awards. Stock compensation expense for New AspenTech was $15 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022.

(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Aspen Technology

On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the “Emerson Industrial Software Business”), along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech", a diversified, high-performance industrial software leader with greater scale, capabilities and technologies. Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson beneficially owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock. New AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and New AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”

The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Emerson considered the accounting acquirer of AspenTech. The net assets of AspenTech were recorded at their estimated fair value and the Emerson Industrial Software Business continues at its historical basis. The Company recorded a noncontrolling interest of $5.9 billion for the 45 percent ownership interest of former AspenTech stockholders in New AspenTech. The noncontrolling interest associated with the AspenTech acquired net assets was recorded at fair value determined using the closing market price per share of AspenTech as of May 16, 2022, while the portion attributable

7

to the Emerson Industrial Software business was recorded at its historical carrying amount. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in the Emerson Industrial Software Business resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $550.

The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration reflected in the acquisition accounting using AspenTech's shares outstanding and closing market price per share as of May 16, 2022 (in millions except share and per share data):

AspenTech shares outstanding	66,662,482
AspenTech share price	$	166.30
Purchase price	$	11,086
Value of stock-based compensation awards attributable to pre-combination service	102
Total purchase consideration	$	11,188

The total purchase consideration for AspenTech was preliminarily allocated to assets and liabilities as follows. Valuations of acquired assets and liabilities are in-process and subject to refinement.

Cash and equivalents	$	274
Receivables	61
Other current assets	262
Property, plant equipment	4
Goodwill ($34 expected to be tax-deductible)	7,223
Other intangible assets	4,390
Other assets	511
Total assets	12,725
Short-term borrowings	27
Accounts payable	8
Accrued expenses	113
Long-term debt	253
Deferred taxes and other liabilities	1,136
Total purchase consideration	$	11,188

Emerson's cash contribution of approximately $6.0 billion was paid out at approximately $87.69 per share (on a fully diluted basis) to holders of issued and outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock as of the closing of the transactions, with $168 of cash remaining on New AspenTech's balance sheet as of the closing which is not included in the allocation of purchase consideration above.

The estimated intangible assets attributable to the transaction are comprised of the following (in millions):

	Amount		Estimated Weighted Average Life (Years)
Developed technology	$	1,350	10
Customer relationships	2,300		15
Trade names	430		Indefinite-lived
Backlog	310		3
Total	$	4,390

Results of operations for the third quarter of 2022 attributable to the AspenTech acquisition include sales of $173 while the impact to GAAP net earnings was not material.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited proforma consolidated condensed financial results of operations are presented as if the acquisition of AspenTech occurred on October 1, 2020. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts).

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Nine Months Ended June 30,
		2021		2022		2021	2022
Net Sales		$	4,895	5,060		13,884	14,683
Net earnings common stockholders		$	614	964		1,480	2,517
Diluted earnings per share		$	1.02	1.62		2.46	4.21

The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 include $159 of transaction costs which were assumed to be incurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2021. Of these transaction costs, $61 and $91 were included in the Company's reported results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, but have been excluded from the fiscal 2022 pro forma results above. In addition, AspenTech incurred $68 of transaction costs prior to the completion of the acquisition that were not included in Emerson's reported results. The pro forma results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 include estimated interest expense of $37 and $110, respectively, related to the issuance of $3 billion of term debt and increased commercial paper borrowings to fund the acquisition, while results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 include additional interest expense of $56 to reflect the increased borrowings as if they were outstanding for the entire fiscal year.

Other Transactions

On August 8, 2022 the Company announced an agreement to sell its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers and is reported in the Tools & Home Products segment, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion. This business had sales and pretax earnings of $565 and $143 in fiscal 2021 and $480 and $117 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The assets and liabilities of InSinkErator were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2022 and are included in other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The transaction is expected to close in fiscal 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On July 27, 2022, New AspenTech entered into an agreement to acquire Micromine, a global leader in design and operational solutions for the mining industry, for AU$900 (approximately $623 USD). The transaction is expected to close by the end of calendar 2022, subject to various regulatory approvals.

On May 31, 2022 the Company completed the divestiture of its Therm-O-Disc sensing and protection technologies business, which was reported in the Climate Technologies segment, to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $483 ($428 after-tax, $0.72 per share).

On May 4, 2022, Emerson announced its intention to exit business operations in Russia and divest Metran, its Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary. Emerson's historical net sales in Russia were principally in the Automation Solutions segment and in total, represented approximately 1.5 percent of consolidated annual sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a pretax loss of $162 ($174 after-tax, in total $0.29 per share) related to its exit of business operations in Russia. This charge, which included a loss of $32 in operations and $130 reported in Other deductions ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs), is primarily non-cash. Emerson is committed to an orderly transfer of these assets and will support its employees through this process.

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 $1.6 billion, net of cash acquired. This business, which had net sales of $191 in fiscal 2021 and is now reported in the AspenTech segment, expanded the Company's offerings in the power industry to include the digitization and modernization of the electric grid. The Company recognized goodwill of $967 (none of which is expected to be tax deductible), identifiable intangible assets of $783, primarily intellectual property and customer relationships with a weighted-average useful life

9

of approximately 11 years, and deferred tax liabilities of approximately $193. Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included first year pre-tax acquisition accounting charges related to backlog amortization and deferred revenue of $7 and $3, respectively, while year-to-date results included $24 and $11, respectively.

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 cash return on their initial investment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the equity holders' cumulative cash return exceeded the threshold and as a result, the Company received a distribution of $438 in November 2021 (in total, a gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter). Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $75 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three 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 remaining distributions to the Company.
