Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson" or the "Company") is providing supplemental unaudited historical results to facilitate investors' understanding of the Company's consolidated and segment results. The information within this document is intended to provide investors with the presentation of our financial results that we expect to use in future earnings releases, and provide further clarification of AspenTech's financial results within Emerson's consolidated financial results. Additionally, historical underlying sales for the new segments is provided for fiscal 2022 on a quarterly basis. The information in Exhibit 99.1 has been reported within Emerson's consolidated results, does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained in this Form 8-K is being provided voluntarily and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of, or subject to liability under, Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any Company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The supplemental unaudited historical results contain non-GAAP financial measures as such term is defined in Regulation G under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The reasons management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information are set forth in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the supplemental tables furnished with this Form 8-K.

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not strictly historical may be “forward-looking” statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and Emerson undertakes no obligation to update any such statements to reflect later developments. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to successfully complete on the terms and conditions contemplated, and the financial impact of, the proposed Climate Technologies transaction, the potential National Instruments transaction, the scope, duration and ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the economic and currency conditions, market demand, including related to the pandemic and oil and gas price declines and volatility, pricing, protection of intellectual property, cybersecurity, tariffs, competitive and technological factors, inflation, among others, as set forth in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
