Nov. '00 Order Comments: Industrial Automation continues to be dampened by considerable negative currency exchange. Excluding currency, growth is in the low to mid single-digits, with Europe and Asia stronger than the United States. HVAC orders primarily reflect U.S. inventory channel overhang associated with air conditioning products. Excluding the impact of currency, Europe, Asia and Latin America are experiencing approximately 10 percent underlying growth in the first quarter. Electronics and Telecom orders continue to be very strong. Robust demand for large UPS and precision air conditioning products is offsetting fluctuations in demand for embedded power and other areas. Overall, growth is strong in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America, with Europe considerably stronger than it was in 2000. 2 Appliance and Tools orders reflect appliance channel-related issues and recently softer consumer demand. Tool-related demand is running at low to mid single-digit levels. Process orders reflect the continued success of PlantWeb and Emerson Performance Solutions, along with area-specific recoveries in the overall global market, with noticeable recent strengthening in natural gas-related projects. 3 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
