"We are pleased with our first quarter results. Strong demand continued in both the Automation Solutions and Commercial & Residential Solutions platforms with ongoing growth in residential, discrete and hybrid end markets, as well as strong recovery in our commercial and process automation end markets. Much like the rest of the industry, labor shortages, inflation and supply chain challenges remain a hurdle, but a strong focus on operational excellence and a steadfast commitment to our cost reset targets have proven valuable in offsetting these headwinds,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “Given our first quarter results and the strength in both platforms, we have increased our 2022 full year outlook.

“We feel energized as our teams cultivate a world-class culture and we continue our portfolio evolution while maintaining our long-standing commitment to operational execution and financial results,” Karsanbhai continued. “I speak for the worldwide Emerson team when I say we’re ready to face the challenges of 2022 head on.”

Despite ongoing supply chain constraints and challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see strong demand in both of our platforms resulting in increased sales and updated earnings expectations for the year. Net and Underlying Sales guidance is increased by 1 percent to 6 to 8 percent and 7 to 9 percent, respectively. Earnings Per Share guidance of $4.71 to $4.86 have been updated to reflect the operational impact of increased sales guidance and now includes the impact of estimated AspenTech transaction fees and interest expense on $3 billion of debt already issued to fund the transaction. Adjusted Earnings Per Share have been increased to $4.90 to $5.05.
