Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(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 of Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company") 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). Results are computed independently each period; as a result, the quarterly amounts may not sum to the calculated year-to-date figures. 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, 2024.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. On March 12, 2025, Emerson completed its purchase of the remaining outstanding shares of common stock of Aspen Technology, Inc. ("AspenTech") not already owned by the Company. As a result of the transaction, AspenTech is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. AspenTech was reorganized upon completion of the transaction and now reports to Control Systems & Software leadership. AspenTech's results, which were previously reported as a separate segment, are now consolidated into the Control Systems & Software segment for all periods presented. See Notes 4 and 15.
(2)REVENUE RECOGNITION
Emerson is a global technology and software company that provides innovative solutions for customers in a wide range of end markets around the world. The majority of the Company's revenues relate to a broad offering of manufactured products and software 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 15 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, 2024 | June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Unbilled receivables (contract assets) | $1,599 | 1,795 |
| Customer advances (contract liabilities) | (1,115) | (1,205) |
| Net contract assets (liabilities) | $484 | 590 |
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 where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 included $65 and $711, respectively, that was included in the beginning contract liability balance. Other factors that impacted the change in net contract assets were immaterial. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was immaterial.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $8.9 billion. The Company expects to recognize appro ximately 75 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the followingtwo years.

The current year rate was negatively impacted by $49 ($0.09 per share) of discrete tax items related to the AspenTech transaction. In addition, the fees incurred by AspenTech were not fully deductible. In total, the net impact of these items increased the rate by approximately 3 percentage points. The prior year rate included a $57 ($0.10 per share) benefit related to discrete tax items and the benefit discussed above related to the prior year U.S. tax return, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from inventory step-up amortization and the loss on divestiture (see Note 4), which was nondeductible for tax purposes. In total, the net impact of these items benefited the rate by approximately 2 percentage points, which was partially offset by other individually immaterial items.
(10)EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT AND NOTE RECEIVABLE
As discussed in Note 5, the Company completed the divestiture of a majority stake in Copeland on May 31, 2023, and received upfront, pretax cash proceeds of approximately $9.7 billion and a note receivable with a face value of $2.25 billion, while retaining a 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland.

Upon entering into the note agreement, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $279 ($217 after-tax, $0.38 per share) to adjust the carrying value of the note to$1.9 billion to reflect the transaction price.

(12)DEBT
On February 11, 2025, the Company entered into a$3 billion 364-day revolving backup credit facility to support increased commercial paper borrowings in connection with the AspenTech transaction. This facility is in addition to the Company's existing$3.5 billion revolving backup credit facility. Both credit facilities are unsecured and may be accessed under various interest rate alternatives at the Company's option. The fees to maintain the facilities are immaterial and the Company has not incurred any borrowings under either facility or previous facilities. Overall, the Company's commercial paper borrowings increased to approximately $5.4 billion at June 30, 2025.
In June 2025, the Company repaid $500 of 3.15% notes that matured. In March 2025, the Company issued€500 of 3.0% notes due March 2031,$500 of 5.0% notes due March 2035, and€500 of 3.5% notes due March 2037. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes and increased commercial paper borrowings, along with cash on hand, to fund the AspenTech transaction (see Note 4).
(13)FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hedging Activities – As of June 30, 2025, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $3.2 billion. All derivatives receiving hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of June 30, 2025 are expected to be recognized over the next 12 months as the underlying forecasted transactions occur. Gains and losses on foreign currency derivatives reported in Other deductions, net reflect hedges of balance sheet exposures that do not receive hedge accounting.
Net Investment Hedge– In fiscal 2019, the Company issued euro-denominated debt of €1.5 billion, of which €500 was repaid in 2024. Additionally, in March 2025, the Company issued€500 of 3.0% notes due March 2031 and€500 of 3.5% notes due March 2037. The net proceeds from the sale of the March 2025 euro notes were used for general corporate purposes and to fund a portion of the purchase price of the AspenTech transaction (see Note 4). The euro notes reduce foreign currency risk associated with the Company's international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency and have been designated as a hedge of a portion of the investment in these operations. Foreign currency gains or losses associated with the euro-denominated debt are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.
The following gains and losses are included in earnings and other comprehensive income (OCI) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025:
| Into Earnings · Into OCI | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd Quarter · Nine Months · 3rd Quarter · Nine Months | |||||||||

Regardless of whether derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting, the Company expects hedging gains or losses to be offset by losses or gains on the related underlying exposures. The amounts ultimately recognized will differ from those presented above for open positions, which remain subject to ongoing market price fluctuations until settlement. Derivatives receiving hedge accounting are highly effective and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Fair Value Measurement – Valuations for all derivatives and the Company's long-term debt fall within Level 2 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of long-term debt was approximately $8.1 billion, which was lower than the carrying value by $766. The fair value of foreign currency contracts, which are reported in Other current assets and Accrued expenses, did not materially change since September 30, 2024.
Counterparties to derivatives arran gements are companies with investment-grade credit ratings. The Company has bilateral collateral arrangements with counterparties with credit rating-based posting thresholds that vary depending on the arrangement. If credit ratings on the Company's debt fall below pre-established levels, counterparties can require immediate full collateralization of all derivatives in net liability positions. The maximum amount that could potentially have been required was immaterial. The Company also can demand full collateralization of derivatives in net asset positions should any counterparty credit ratings fall below certain thresholds. No collateral was posted with counterparties andnone was held by the Company as of June 30, 2025.
