MILWAUKEE (May 3, 2022) — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) today reported second quarter fiscal 2022 results.
"Despite a volatile global supply chain environment that impacted sales in the quarter, we continued to see extremely strong demand in all key end markets and regions around the world," said Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO.
Fiscal 2022 Q2 Financial Results
Fiscal 2022 second quarter sales were $1,808 million, up 1.8% from $1,776 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Organic sales increased 1.3%, currency translation decreased sales by 1.8%, and acquisitions increased sales by 2.3%.

Fiscal 2022 second quarter net income attributable to Rockwell Automation was $53.9 million or $0.46 per share, compared to $415 million or $3.54 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decreases in net income attributable to Rockwell Automation and Diluted EPS are primarily due to fair value adjustments recognized in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 in connection with our investment in PTC (the "PTC adjustments"). Fiscal 2022 second quarter Adjusted EPS was $1.66, down 31.1% compared to $2.41 in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to higher input costs and higher investment spend, partially offset by lower incentive compensation and better price realization.
Pre-tax margin was 2.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to 28.6% in the same period last year. The decrease in pre-tax margin was primarily due to the PTC adjustments.
Total segment operating earnings were $283 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, down 27.4% from $390 million in the same period of fiscal 2021. Total segment operating margin was 15.7% compared to 22.0% a year ago primarily due to higher input costs and higher investment spend, partially offset by lower incentive compensation and better price realization.
Cash flow generated by operating activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $90.8 million, compared to $249 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Free cash flow in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $45.9 million, compared to $224 million in the same period last year. Decreases in cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow were due to lower pre-tax income and higher income tax payments.

Fiscal Year 2022 Outlook
The table below provides guidance for sales growth and earnings per share for fiscal 2022. Our guidance reflects our strong demand and record backlog along with our latest view of supply chain constraints. However, the global supply chain remains volatile with new pressures from COVID-19 related shutdowns in China and war in Ukraine that are difficult to quantify.
| Guidance | Prior Guidance | ||||||||||
| Reported sales growth | 11% - 15% | 16% - 19% | |||||||||
| Organic sales growth | 10% - 14% | 14% - 17% | |||||||||
| Inorganic sales growth | ~2.5% | ~2% | |||||||||
| Currency translation | ~(1.5)% | ~0% | |||||||||
| Diluted EPS | $7.60 - $8.20 | $10.01 - $10.61 | |||||||||
| Adjusted EPS | $9.20 - $9.80 | $10.50 - $11.10 | |||||||||
"We are navigating significant supply chain volatility with actions to increase component supply, mitigate inflation, and improve our resiliency over the coming quarters. Strong continuing demand driven by capital investment, the increasing importance of automation and digital transformation, and our unmatched position set the stage for market-beating growth this year and beyond," Moret continued.

Organic sales increased 0.7%, currency translation decreased sales by 1.8%, and an acquisition increased sales by 7.6%. Segment operating earnings were $132 million compared to $150 million in the same period last year. Segment operating margin decreased to 24.6% from 29.8% a year ago, driven by higher investment spend, higher input costs, and the impact of acquisition integration costs.

Supplemental Information
ARR - Total ARR grew 58% and organic ARR grew 17% compared to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Corporate and Other - Fiscal 2022 second quarter corporate and other expense was $24.6 million compared to $30.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily due to mark-to-market adjustments related to our deferred and non-qualified compensation plans.
Purchase Accounting Depreciation and Amortization - Fiscal 2022 second quarter purchase accounting depreciation and amortization expense was $26.1 million, up $13.0 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily related to the August 2021 acquisition of Plex Systems.
Tax - On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was (20.2)% compared to 19.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily due to the tax effects of the fair value adjustments recognized in fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 in connection with our investment in PTC. The Adjusted Effective Tax Rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was 16.0% compared to 16.7% in the prior year.
Share Repurchases - During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, there were no repurchases of the Company's common stock. At March 31, 2022, $503 million remained available under our existing share repurchase authorization. Yesterday, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to deploy an additional $1.0 billion for repurchase of its common stock.
ROIC - Return on invested capital was 13.2% compared to 44.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease is primarily due to lower pre-tax income primarily related to the PTC adjustments.
Definitions
Non-GAAP Measures - Organic sales, total segment operating earnings, total segment operating margin, Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, free cash flow, free cash flow conversion, and return on invested capital are non-GAAP measures that are reconciled to GAAP measures in the attachments to this release.
Organic ARR - Annual recurring revenue (ARR) is a key metric that enables measurement of progress in growing our recurring revenue business. It represents the annual contract value of all active recurring revenue contracts at any point in time. Recurring revenue is defined as a revenue stream that is contractual, typically for a period of 12 months or more, and has a high probability of renewal. The probability of renewal is based on historical renewal
Page 5
experience of the individual revenue streams, or management's best estimates if historical renewal experience is not available. Organic ARR growth is calculated as the dollar change in ARR, adjusted to exclude the effects of currency translation and acquisitions, divided by ARR as of the prior period. The effects of currency translation are excluded by calculating Organic ARR on a constant currency basis. When we acquire businesses, we exclude the effect of ARR in current period for which there was no comparable ARR in the prior period. Organic ARR growth is also used as a financial measure of performance for our annual incentive compensation. Because ARR is based on annual contract value, it does not represent revenue recognized during a particular reporting period or revenue to be recognized in future reporting periods and is not intended to be a substitute for revenue, contract liabilities, or backlog.

1 Total segment operating earnings and total segment operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude purchase accounting depreciation and amortization, corporate and other, non-operating pension and postretirement benefit cost, change in fair value of investments, the $70 million legal settlement in fiscal 2021, interest expense, net, and income tax benefit (provision) because we do not consider these costs to be directly related to the operating performance of our segments. We believe total segment operating earnings and total segment operating margin are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. We use these measures to monitor and evaluate the profitability of our operating segments. Our measures of total segment operating earnings and total segment operating margin may be different from measures used by other companies.
2 Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP earnings measure that excludes purchase accounting depreciation and amortization, non-operating pension and postretirement benefit cost, change in fair value of investments, and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, including their respective tax effects. See "Other Supplemental Information - Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate" section for more information regarding non-operating pension and postretirement benefit cost and a reconciliation to GAAP measures.

OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
(in millions, except percentages)
Organic Sales
We translate sales of subsidiaries operating outside of the United States using exchange rates effective during the respective period. Therefore, changes in currency exchange rates affect our reported sales. Sales by acquired businesses also affect our reported sales. We believe that organic sales, defined as sales excluding the effects of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from the activities of our businesses without the effect of acquisitions and changes in currency exchange rates. We use organic sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and operating segment performance. When we acquire businesses, we exclude sales in the current period for which there are no comparable sales in the prior period. We determine the effect of changes in currency exchange rates by translating the respective period’s sales using the same currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year. When we divest a business, we exclude sales in the prior period for which there are no comparable sales in the current period. Organic sales growth is calculated by comparing organic sales to reported sales in the prior year, excluding divestitures. We attribute sales to the geographic regions based on the country of destination.
The following is a reconciliation of reported sales to organic sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, compared to sales for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021:

Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate are non-GAAP earnings measures that exclude non-operating pension and postretirement benefit cost, change in fair value of investments, purchase accounting depreciation and amortization attributable to Rockwell Automation, and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, including their respective tax effects.
We believe that Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate provide useful information to our investors about our operating performance and allow management and investors to compare our operating performance period over period. Adjusted EPS is also used as a financial measure of performance for our annual incentive compensation. Our measures of Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate may be different from measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for Net income attributable to Rockwell Automation, diluted EPS, and effective tax rate.

Return On Invested Capital
Our press release contains information regarding Return On Invested Capital (ROIC), which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that ROIC is useful to investors as a measure of performance and of the effectiveness of the use of capital in our operations. We use ROIC as one measure to monitor and evaluate our performance. Our measure of ROIC may be different from that used by other companies. We define ROIC as the percentage resulting from the following calculation:
(a) Net income, before Interest expense, Income tax provision, and Purchase accounting depreciation and amortization, divided by;
(b) average invested capital for the year, calculated as a five quarter rolling average using the sum of Short-term debt, Long-term debt, Shareowners’ equity, and Accumulated amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets, minus Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term and long-term investments (fixed income securities), multiplied by;
(c) one minus the effective tax rate for the period.
ROIC is calculated as follows (in millions, except percentages):
