October 2005 Order Comments:

Orders reflected continued strength across the industrial and technology markets that Emerson serves. Currency exchange rates had a slightly negative impact on the order growth rates. As orders have continued to strengthen, expectations for the first quarter have been increased. Emerson now expects first quarter sales growth in the range of 10 to 12 percent, and based on the higher sales expectation, earnings per share in the first quarter is now expected to be in the range of $0.80 to $0.85, an increase of 14 to 21 percent versus prior year.

Process Management order levels remained strong as the key end markets served continued to spend capital and generate order growth for this segment. The reported order rates include a significant component of large project business, with sales expected to extend throughout the year and into next year.

Orders for Industrial Automation reflected continued solid demand in the commercial markets we serve. The growth continued to be balanced across the businesses with particular strength in the power transmission and electrical distribution businesses.

Network Power orders continued at high levels due primarily to strong growth from both the power systems business and the embedded power business.

Orders for Climate Technologies remained very strong with the compressor business leading the growth. Comparisons to prior year have become easier and demand in the residential air-conditioning business is being driven by late season warm weather and the pending 13 SEER transition.

Appliance and Tools segment orders accelerated due to strength in the tools businesses, particularly those that supply non-residential construction markets, and growth in the motors business.
