**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. & SUBSIDIARIES**

(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 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). 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, 2022.

Over the past 18 months, Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson" or the "Company") has taken significant actions to accelerate the transformation of its portfolio through the completion of strategic acquisitions and divestitures of non-core businesses. The Company's recent portfolio actions include the combination of its industrial software businesses with Aspen Technology, Inc., with the Company owning 55 percent of the outstanding shares of the combined entity on a fully diluted basis upon closing of the transaction on May 16, 2022, the sale of its Therm-O-Disc business, which was completed on May 31, 2022, the sale of its InSinkErator business, which was completed on October 31, 2022, and the sale of a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business, which was announced on October 31, 2022, and is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This includes reporting financial results for Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the assets and liabilities of Climate Technologies and InSinkErator (prior to completion of the divestiture) as held-for-sale (see Note 5). In addition, as a result of its portfolio transformation, the Company now reports six segments and two business groups (see Note 13).

**(2) REVENUE RECOGNITION** 

Emerson is a global manufacturer that combines technology and engineering to provide innovative solutions to its customers, largely in the form of tangible products. The vast majority of the Company's revenues relate to a broad offering of manufactured products 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 13 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. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Sept 30, 2022** | **Dec 31, 2022** |
| Unbilled receivables (contract assets) | $1390 | **1412** |
| Customer advances (contract liabilities) | (776) | **(938)** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net contract assets (liabilities) | $614 | **474** |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

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 sold by AspenTech where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. The decrease in net contract assets was due to customer billings exceeding revenue recognized for performance completed during the period. Revenue recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2022 included $335 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 months ended December 31, 2022 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was not material.

------

As of December 31, 2022, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $7.8 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 80 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the following two years. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**(3) COMMON SHARES AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION**

Reconciliations of weighted-average shares for basic and diluted earnings per common share follow. Earnings allocated to participating securities were inconsequential.

**(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES**

**Aspen Technology**

On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("Heritage AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the "Emerson Industrial Software Business"), along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to Heritage AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech", a diversified, high-performance industrial software leader with greater scale, capabilities and technologies (hereinafter referred to as "AspenTech"). Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former Heritage AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock. AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under Heritage AspenTech's previous name "Aspen Technology, Inc." and AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech's previous stock ticker symbol "AZPN."

The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Emerson considered the accounting acquirer of Heritage AspenTech. The net assets of Heritage AspenTech were recorded at their estimated fair value and for the Emerson Industrial Software Business continue at their historical basis. The Company recorded a noncontrolling interest of $5.9 billion for the 45 percent ownership interest of former Heritage AspenTech stockholders in AspenTech. The noncontrolling interest associated with the Heritage AspenTech acquired net assets was recorded at fair value determined using the closing market price per share of Heritage AspenTech as of May 16, 2022, while the portion attributable to the Emerson Industrial Software business was recorded at its historical carrying amount. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in the Emerson Industrial Software Business resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $550.

Of these transaction costs, $22 were included in the Company's reported results for the three months ended December 31, 2021, but have been excluded from the fiscal 2022 pro forma results above. In addition, Heritage AspenTech incurred $68 of transaction costs prior to the completion of the acquisition that were not included in Emerson's reported results. The pro forma results for the three months ended December 31, 2021 include estimated interest expense of $37 related to the issuance of $3 billion of term debt and increased commercial paper borrowings to fund the acquisition.

**Other Transactions**

On July 27, 2022, AspenTech entered into an agreement to acquire Micromine, a global leader in design and operational solutions for the mining industry, for AU$900 (approximately $623 USD based on exchange rates when the transaction was announced). The transaction is expected to close as soon as the remaining regulatory approval is obtained.

On May 4, 2022, Emerson announced its intention to exit business operations in Russia and divest Metran, its Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary, and on September 27, 2022, announced an agreement to sell the business to the local management group. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recognized a pretax loss of $47 in Other deductions ($47 after-tax, in total $0.08 per share) related to its exit of business operations in Russia. The transaction will be subject to regulatory and government approvals, and other customary closing conditions. Emerson will work closely with the local Russia management group to help ensure a smooth transition for employees through the sale process.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company received a distribution of $438 related to its subordinated interest in Vertiv (in total, a pretax gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter, $358 after-tax, $0.60 per share). Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $75 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three years. However, the distributions are contingent on the timing and price at which Vertiv shares are sold by the equity holders and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the remaining distributions to the Company.

**(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

In October 2022, the Board of Directors approved the Company's announced agreement to sell a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business (which constitutes the former Climate Technologies segment, excluding Therm-O-Disc which was divested earlier in fiscal 2022) to private equity funds managed by Blackstone in a $14.0 billion transaction. Emerson will receive upfront, pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $9.5 billion and a note of $2.25 billion at close (which will accrue 5 percent interest payable in kind by capitalizing interest), while retaining a 45 percent non-controlling interest in a new standalone joint venture between Emerson and Blackstone. The Climate Technologies business, which includes the Copeland compressor business and the entire portfolio of products and services across all residential and commercial HVAC and refrigeration end-markets, had fiscal 2022 net sales of approximately $5.0 billion and pretax earnings of $1.0 billion. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

On October 31, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion. This business had net sales of $630 and pretax earnings of $152 in fiscal 2022. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $2.8 billion (approximately $2.1 billion after-tax) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

On May 31, 2022 the Company completed the divestiture of its Therm-O-Disc sensing and protection technologies business to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $486 ($429 after-tax) in the third fiscal quarter of 2022.

<u>Debt:</u>

On January 17, 2023, AspenTech paid off the outstanding balance of its existing term loan facility of $264, plus accrued interest, which resulted in the long-term portion being reclassified and reported as short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2022.

**(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS**

**Hedging Activities** – As of December 31, 2022, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $5.2 billion, and commodity hedge contracts totaled approximately $115 (primarily 33 million pounds of copper and aluminum). All derivatives receiving hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of December 31, 2022 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. 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 months ended December 31, 2021 and 2022:

---

| | | | | | |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Total |  | $54 | **4** | 60 | **(111)** |

---

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.

**Equity Investment** – The Company has an equity investment in National Instruments, valued at $82 as of December 31, 2022, and reported in Other current assets. On January 17, 2023, the Company announced a proposal to acquire National Instruments for $53 per share in cash at an implied enterprise value of $7.6 billion. National Instruments, which had fiscal 2021 sales of approximately $1.5 billion, announced on January 13, 2023 it was undertaking a strategic review which could include the solicitation of interest from other potential acquirors.

**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 December 31, 2022, the fair value of long-term debt was $7.7 billion, which was lower than the carrying value by $1,169. The fair values of commodity and foreign currency contracts did not materially change since September 30, 2022. Foreign currency contracts were reported in Other current assets and Accrued expenses, while commodity contracts, which primarily relate to discontinued operations, were reported in Current assets and liabilities held-for-sale. The fair value of the Company's equity investment in National Instruments falls within Level 1 and was based on the most recent quoted closing market price from its principal exchange.

Counterparties to derivatives arrangements 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 and none was held by the Company as of December 31, 2022.

**(13) BUSINESS SEGMENTS**

As disclosed in Note 5, the financial results of Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As a result of these portfolio actions, the Company has realigned its business segments and now reports six segments and two business groups, which are highlighted in the table below. The Company also reclassified certain product sales that were previously reported in Control Systems & Software to Discrete Automation.

|:---|:---|
| **INTELLIGENT DEVICES** | **SOFTWARE AND CONTROL** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Final Control | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Control Systems & Software |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Measurement & Analytical | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AspenTech |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discrete Automation | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Safety & Productivity | |

---

The new segments were previously described as follows: Final Control was the Valves, Actuators & Regulators product offering; Measurement & Analytical was the Measurement & Analytical instrumentation product offering; Discrete Automation was the Industrial Solutions product offering; Safety & Productivity was the Tools & Home Products segment, excluding the divested InSinkErator business; Control Systems & Software was the Systems & Software product offering; and, AspenTech remains unchanged. The AspenTech segment was identified in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as a result of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition and reflects the combined results of Heritage AspenTech and the Emerson Industrial Software Business (see Note 4 for further details). The results for this new segment include the historical results of the Emerson Industrial Software Business (which were previously reported in the Control Systems & Software segment), while results related to the Heritage AspenTech business only include periods subsequent to the close of the transaction. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

**Items 2 and 3.** 

**Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations** 

(Dollars are in millions, except per share amounts or where noted)

**OVERVIEW**

As previously disclosed, in October 2022, the Board of Directors approved the Company's announced agreement to sell a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business (which constitutes the historical Climate Technologies segment, excluding Therm-O-Disc which was divested in fiscal 2022) to private equity funds managed by Blackstone in a $14.0 billion transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of calendar year 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

Additionally, on October 31, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion, and the Company recognized a pretax gain of $2.8 billion (approximately $2.1 billion after-tax) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Climate Technologies, Therm-O-Disc and InSinkErator are reported within discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 5.

On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("Heritage AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business, along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to Heritage AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech" (hereinafter referred to as "AspenTech"). Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis). See Note 4. Due to the timing of the acquisition in the prior year, the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 do not include the results of Heritage AspenTech.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales from continuing operations were $3.4 billion, up 7 percent compared with the prior year. Underlying sales, which exclude foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, were up 6 percent. The AspenTech acquisition added 5 percent, while foreign currency translation had a 4 percent unfavorable impact. Sales growth continued to be strong in North America, while Asia, Middle East & Africa was essentially flat and Europe was down modestly due to the negative impact of the business exit from Russia.

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $329, down 56 percent, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.56, down 55 percent compared with $1.25 in the prior year. The prior year included a $0.60 gain related to the Company's subordinated interest in Vertiv. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.78 compared with $0.79 in the prior year, reflecting strong operating results offset by higher stock compensation expense due to an increasing stock price in the current year.

The table below presents the Company's diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide additional insight into the underlying, ongoing operating performance of the Company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excludes intangibles amortization expense, restructuring expense, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction-related costs, and certain gains, losses or impairments.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $3.4 billion, up 7 percent compared with 2022. Intelligent Devices sales were up 1 percent, while Software and Control sales were up 30 percent, which included the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition. Underlying sales were up 6 percent on 2 percent higher volume and 4 percent higher price, while foreign currency translation had a 4 percent negative impact. The Heritage AspenTech acquisition added 5 percent. Underlying sales were up 12 percent in the U.S. and up 2 percent internationally. The Americas was up 13 percent, while Asia, Middle East & Africa was flat (China down 7 percent). Europe decreased 2 percent, but was up 7 percent excluding the negative impact of the business exit from Russia.

------

Cost of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1,753, an increase of $12 compared with 2022. Gross margin of 48.0 percent increased 3.1 percentage points due to favorable price less net material inflation, the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition which benefited margins by 1.3 percentage points, and favorable mix.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,030 increased $181 and SG&A as a percent of sales increased 3.5 percentage points to 30.5 percent compared with the prior year, reflecting the Heritage AspenTech acquisition and higher stock compensation expense of $68, of which $45 related to Emerson stock plans due to an increasing stock price in the current year and $23 was attributable to AspenTech stock plans.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company received a distribution of $438 related to its subordinated interest in Vertiv (in total, a gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter, $358 after-tax, $0.60 per share). Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $75 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three years. However, the distributions are contingent on the timing and price at which Vertiv shares are sold by the equity holders and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the remaining distributions to the Company.

Other deductions, net were $120 in 2023, an increase of $82 compared with the prior year, reflecting higher intangibles amortization of $61 primarily related to the Heritage AspenTech acquisition and a charge of $47 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia, partially offset by lower acquisition/divestiture costs of $23. The current year also included a mark-to-market gain of $35 related to foreign currency forward contracts entered into by AspenTech to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange associated with the Micromine purchase price, which was largely offset by unfavorable foreign currency transaction losses compared to gains in the prior year. See Note 7.

Pretax earnings from continuing operations of $422 decreased $520, down 55 percent compared with the prior year largely due to the Vertiv gain discussed above. Earnings increased $40 in Intelligent Devices and decreased $40 in Software and Control, while costs reported at Corporate increased $58 largely due to higher stock compensation expense of $68 and the $47 Russia business exit loss, partially offset by the $35 gain on the Micromine foreign currency forward contracts. See the Business Segments discussion that follows and Note 13.

Income taxes were $98 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and $196 in 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 23 percent and 21 percent, respectively. The current year rate included a 2 percentage point unfavorable impact related to the Russia charge, which had no related tax benefit.

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $329, down 56 percent, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.56, down 55 percent compared with $1.25 in the prior year. The prior year included a $0.60 gain related to the Company's subordinated interest in Vertiv. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.78 compared with $0.79 in the prior year, reflecting strong operating results offset by higher stock compensation expense due to an increasing stock price in the current year. See the analysis above of adjusted earnings per share for further details.

Earnings from discontinued operations were $2,002 ($3.41 per share) which included the $2.1 billion after-tax gain on the divestiture of InSinkErator, compared to $149 ($0.25 per share) in the prior year. Earnings from discontinued operations were negatively impacted in the current year by approximately $275 of income taxes within Climate Technologies related to subsidiary restructurings and $27 of transaction-related costs. See Note 5.

Net earnings common stockholders in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $2,331, up 160 percent, compared with $896 in the prior year, and earnings per share were $3.97, up 165 percent, compared with $1.50 in the prior year.

The table below, which shows results from continuing operations on an adjusted EBITA basis, is intended to supplement the Company's discussion of its results of operations herein. The Company defines adjusted EBITA as earnings from continuing operations excluding interest expense, net, income taxes, intangibles amortization expense, restructuring expense, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction-related costs, and certain gains, losses or impairments. Adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin are measures used by management and may be useful for investors to evaluate the Company's operational performance.

Software and Control sales were $849 in the first three months of 2023, an increase of $197, or 30 percent compared to the prior year, reflecting the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition. Underlying sales were up 10 percent on 8 percent higher volume and 2 percent higher price. Overall, underlying sales increased 11 percent in the Americas, 6 percent in Europe and 15 percent in Asia, Middle East & Africa (China up 26 percent). Control Systems & Software sales increased $36, or 6 percent. Underlying sales increased 10 percent, reflecting strength in process end markets in North America, Europe (excluding the impact of the business exit from Russia) and Asia, which benefited from improved electronic component availability, while power end markets were up modestly. AspenTech sales increased $161, or 197 percent, due to the acquisition of Heritage AspenTech. Earnings decreased $40, down 36 percent, and margin decreased 8.9 percentage points, reflecting the impact from $99 of incremental intangibles amortization ($35 of which was reported in Cost of Sales) related to the Heritage AspenTech acquisition. Adjusted EBITA margin increased 2.0 percentage points, reflecting the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition, partially offset by lower margins within Control Systems & Software due to higher inflation and unfavorable foreign currency transactions.

| Interest coverage ratio | 23.9 | X | 11.7 | X | **7.3** | **X** |

---

The Company's operating working capital as of December 31, 2022 includes income taxes payable of approximately $660 related to the gain on the InSinkErator divestiture, which is expected to be paid over the next three quarters, and approximately $275 related to subsidiary restructurings at Climate Technologies, approximately $230 of which was paid in January 2023 with the remainder expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2023. Excluding these income taxes payable related to discontinued operations, operating working capital increased compared to the same quarter last year and compared to September 30, 2022 due to higher inventory levels to support sales growth and reflecting ongoing supply chain and logistics constraints. As of December 31, 2022, Emerson's cash and equivalents totaled $2,271, which included approximately $450 attributable to AspenTech. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in January 2023 AspenTech paid off the outstanding balance of its existing term loan facility of $264, plus accrued interest. The cash held by AspenTech is intended to be used for its own purposes and is not a readily available source of liquidity for other Emerson general business purposes or to return to Emerson shareholders.

The current ratio was unchanged compared to September 30, 2022. The interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes plus interest expense, divided by interest expense) of 7.3X for the first three months of fiscal 2023 compares to 23.9X for the three months ended December 31, 2021, reflecting lower pretax earnings and higher interest expense. Pretax earnings in the prior year included the Vertiv subordinated interest gain of $453. Excluding the gain, the interest coverage ratio was 12.9X in the prior year.

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the first three months of fiscal 2023 was $302, a decrease of $75 compared with $377 in the prior year, reflecting higher working capital due to ongoing supply chain constraints. Operating cash flow included approximately $50 generated by AspenTech. Free cash flow from continuing operations of $243 in the first three months of fiscal 2023 (operating cash flow of $302 less capital expenditures of $59) decreased $61 compared to free cash flow of $304 in 2022 (operating cash flow of $377 less capital expenditures of $73), reflecting the decrease in operating cash flow. Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $67. Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $2,895, reflecting share repurchases of $2.0 billion, net repayments of short-term borrowings of $539, and dividend payments.

Total cash provided by operating activities was $418 including the impact of discontinued operations, and decreased $105 compared with $523 in the prior year. Investing cash flow from discontinued operations was $3.0 billion, reflecting proceeds from the InSinkErator divestiture.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other things, provides tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions of the CARES Act include the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and other provisions. The Company deferred $73 of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020, of which approximately $37 was paid in December 2021 and the remainder paid in December 2022.

Emerson maintains a conservative financial structure to provide the strength and flexibility necessary to achieve our strategic objectives and has been successful in efficiently deploying cash where needed worldwide to fund operations, complete acquisitions and sustain long-term growth. Emerson is in a strong financial position, with total assets of $36 billion and common stockholders' equity of $11 billion, and has the resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and managing its capital structure on a short- and long-term basis.

------

**FISCAL 2023 OUTLOOK** 

For the full year, consolidated net sales from continuing operations are expected to be up 8 to 10 percent, with underlying sales up 6.5 to 8.5 percent excluding a 2 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and an approximately 3.5 percent favorable impact from acquisitions net of divestitures.

Earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be $3.55 to $3.70 (which excludes any potential impact from the 45 percent common equity ownership in Climate Technologies' income or loss post-close), while adjusted earnings per share are expected to be $4.00 to $4.15, excluding a $0.60 per share impact from amortization of intangibles, $0.12 per share from restructuring actions, $0.08 per share from the Russia business exit, a $0.03 per share benefit from the AspenTech Micromine purchase price hedge, $0.09 per share from interest income on the Climate Technologies note receivable, and $0.23 per share of interest income on undeployed proceeds from the Climate Technologies and InSinkErator divestitures. Earnings from discontinued operations are expected to be $10.5 billion to $11.5 billion, or $18 to $20 per share, including the net gains on 2023 divestitures. The fiscal 2023 outlook includes $2 billion returned to shareholders through share repurchases completed in the first quarter and approximately $1.2 billion of dividend payments.

The Company's fiscal 2023 results from continuing operations after the Climate Technologies divestiture (assumed to close March 31, 2023 for the purposes of guidance) will reflect a 45 percent common equity ownership in the income, or loss, of Climate Technologies. Emerson will not control Climate Technologies post-closing and is therefore unable to estimate the amount of its 45 percent share of Climate Technologies' post-close results. The effect of Emerson's 45 percent share of Climate Technologies is expected to be immaterial to post-closing cash flows.

Statements in this report 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 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 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, which are set forth in the "Risk Factors" of Part I, Item 1A, and the "Safe Harbor Statement" of Part II, Item 7, to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures** 

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. This system also is designed to ensure information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's certifying officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on an evaluation performed, the certifying officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

## Ex-10.A

**Exhibit 10(a)**

**EMERSON ELECTRIC CO.**

**DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR** 

**NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS (as Amended and Restated Effective November 1, 2022)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.*Eligibility*

Each director of Emerson Electric Co. ("**Emerson**" or the "**Company**") who is not an employee of Emerson or a corporation in which Emerson owns 50% or more of the outstanding stock shall have the right to elect to defer (i) the payment of all or any part of the cash compensation to which such director would otherwise be entitled as retainers or fees, whether for service on the Board of Directors of Emerson (the "**Board**") or on a committee thereof (collectively, "**Fees**") and/or (ii) the delivery of shares of Emerson common stock ("**Shares**") issuable upon the conversion of any award of restricted stock units ("**Restricted Stock Units**") granted to such director under the Emerson Electric Co. Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Management Directors (as may be amended from time to time, the "**Restricted Stock Plan**"), with such deferred compensation payable at the time and in the manner hereinafter stated. All such deferral elections shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Emerson Electric Co. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (as amended and restated effective November 1, 2022) (the "**Plan**").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. *Election*

Each director who elects to defer Fees hereunder may, at the time of such election, also elect to have some or all of such deferred Fees converted into units notionally equivalent to Shares ("**Units**"), in which case Emerson shall establish an account for such director and shall credit to the account a number of Units equal to the number of full and fractional Shares which could be purchased with such deferred Fees on the date such Fees would have been paid had there been no deferral (such applicable date, the "**Original Payment Date**"). The price per Share for converting the applicable portion of the Fees into Units in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall be the mean between the high and the low of the price per Share on the New York Stock Exchange ("**Market Price**") on the applicable Original Payment Date of the corresponding Fees (or portion thereof), or if no Shares have been traded on such date, then the next succeeding date on which such Shares have been traded. Until the applicable distribution date (as determined in accordance with the Plan), a director who elects to have deferred Fees converted into Units shall have his or her account credited with additional Units equal in value to the amount of dividends which he would have received if he or she had been the owner of a number of Shares equal to the number of Units in his account. The price per share for converting dividends into such additional full or fractional Units shall be the Market Price as of the payment dates for such dividends. No director shall be deemed to be the owner of any notional Shares underlying the Units pursuant to this Plan.

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

With respect to each director who elects to defer the delivery of Shares issuable upon the conversion of Restricted Stock Units, Emerson shall establish and maintain an account for such director (a "**Share Account**") which shall be credited with the number of Shares deferred with respect to such Restricted Stock Units hereunder. Until the applicable distribution date (as determined in accordance with the Plan), if the Company pays a dividend on Shares, a director who elects to defer the delivery of Shares issuable upon the conversion of Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to receive dividend equivalent payments in cash each year equal to the amount of any dividends which such director would have received if he or she had been the owner of the Shares in his or her Share Account (if any), which such dividend equivalent payment shall be paid on a current basis as of the payment date of the corresponding dividends.

Each director shall have until the date specified by the Company, which shall be no later than the last day of the director's taxable year, to execute and deliver to the Vice President Executive Compensation Programs of the Company (the "**Executive Compensation Executive**") a "**Notice of Election**" by which the director elects to defer up to (i) 100% of the Fees and/or (ii) 100% of the Shares issuable upon the conversion of Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, in each case to be earned (or, in the case of Restricted Stock Units, granted) for services in subsequent taxable years and which, but for such election, would otherwise be payable or issuable to the director.

Each Notice of Election shall be in such form as determined by the Company and must specify (i) the percentage or amount of Fees and/or Restricted Stock Units, as applicable, to be deferred under the Plan, (ii) the manner of distribution of deferred Fees, (iii) the beneficiary designations of the participating director, (iv) the extent to which the deferred Fees are to be credited with interest as provided in Section 4 below or converted into Units as specified in this Section 2 above and (v) such other information as may be required by the Company from time to time.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each director who first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan during a plan year may file a Notice of Election within thirty (30) days after the date he or she first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, but only with respect to the Fees or Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units relating to services to be performed subsequent to such election.

Once a director files his or her initial Notice of Election, the manner of distribution shall be irrevocable, even with respect to future deferrals. With respect to the percentage or amount of Fees or Restricted Stock Units to be deferred, the director's Notice of Election shall remain in effect until changed or revoked by the filing of a new Notice of Election with the Executive Compensation Executive; *provided*, *however*, as of December 31 of each year, such Notice of Election shall become irrevocable with respect to Fees payable or Restricted Stock Units granted in connection with services performed in the immediately following year. An election relating to the conversion of deferred Fees into Units may be changed prospectively but no more frequently than once per calendar year by providing written notice to the Executive Compensation Executive no later than December 31 of each year to be irrevocable with respect to Fees payable in connection with services performed in the immediately following year.

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. *Payment of Deferred Fees and Deferred Restricted Stock Units.* 

<u>Deferred Fees</u>

Except as otherwise provided herein, payment of deferred Fees, together with any interest or dividend accruals thereon ("**Fee Account Balance**"), shall be paid to the director in a cash lump sum (with Fees which have been converted into Units, converted into cash equal to the Market Price on the payment date multiplied by the number of Units then being paid) on the date thirty (30) days after such director's "separation from service" as a director of the Company (within the meaning given in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h)) ("**Separation from Service**"), unless the director designated optional installment payments in the Notice of Election. The substantially equal annual installment payments will commence on the date thirty (30) days after such director's Separation from Service over a period not to exceed ten (10) years, *provided however*, that in the event such installment method of distribution will result in any regular installment being less than $400, the director's entire Fee Account Balance shall be distributed in a single lump sum on the date thirty (30) days after such director's Separation from Service, regardless of the manner of distribution designated on his Notice of Election. In the event a director shall elect to receive his or her Fee Account Balance in installments, interest shall continue to be credited on the undistributed sums as provided in Section 4 and/or dividend accruals shall continue to be credited on the undistributed Units in his account as provided in Section 2.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event the director's Fee Account Balance includes Fees which have been converted into Units, payment of such converted amounts which otherwise would have been payable prior to the date six (6) months after the director's Separation from Service shall be delayed until the date six (6) months after the later of: (i) the director's Separation from Service or (ii) the conversion of such Fees into Units (and, for the avoidance of doubt, any such conversion into Units shall occur prior to such Separation from Service).

<u>Deferred Restricted Stock Units</u>

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units deferred under the Plan, shall be delivered to the director on the date thirty (30) days after such director's Separation from Service. For the avoidance of doubt, on the distribution date applicable to a director's Share Account (as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), such director shall receive a number of Shares equal to the number of Shares credited to his or her applicable Share Account as of such distribution date.

<u>Unforeseeable Emergency</u>

In the event that a director demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the "**Committee**") that such director has suffered an "unforeseeable emergency" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3)), the Committee may, if it deems advisable in its sole

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

and absolute discretion, distribute any portion of the director's Fee Account Balance; *provided however* that (i) in no event shall any such distribution be more than the amount necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into consideration the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the director's assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under this Plan and (ii) any such distribution shall be subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, "**Section 409A**"), including Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(3). However, in no event may Fees which have been converted into Units be payable or distributable on account of an unforeseeable emergency. Any amount which becomes payable on account of an unforeseeable emergency shall be distributed on the date the Committee approves the hardship distribution and the director's Account Balance shall be reduced by the amount so distributed and/or utilized, subject to compliance with Section 409A.

<u>Timing of Distributions</u>

In all cases in which amounts or Shares are distributable upon a fixed date, distribution is deemed to be made upon the fixed date if the distribution is made on such date or a later date within the same taxable year of the director or, if later, by the fifteenth (15<sup>th</sup>) day of the third calendar month following the specified date, provided the director is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the payment. In addition, a distribution is treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan if the distribution is made no earlier than thirty (30) days before the designated distribution date and the director is not permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board considers a director to be one of the Company's "specified employees" under Section 409A at the time of such director's Separation from Service from the Board, any distribution that otherwise would be made to such director as a result of such Separation from Service shall not be made until the date that is six (6) months after such Separation from Service, except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in such director's incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. *Interest Rate*

Deferred Fees which a director has not elected to be converted into Units shall be credited with interest compounded quarterly at the prime rate with any change in interest rate taking effect simultaneously with the change in the prime rate, or such other rate as may be established from time to time by the Committee. Such interest shall accrue from the dates that Fees would otherwise be payable had such Fees not been deferred. For all purposes of this Plan, the term "prime rate" shall mean the prime rate publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. for ninety (90)-day commercial loans.

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. *Designation of Beneficiary*

Each director may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all sums due to such director hereunder upon his or her death. Such beneficiary designation may be revoked or amended by such director, from time to time, by appropriate notice in writing delivered to the Executive Compensation Executive. In the absence of any beneficiary designation or in the event that the designated beneficiaries shall not be living at the time of death of the director, the account value on the date of death of the director shall be payable and delivered to the estate of such deceased director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. *Death or Incapacity of Director*

Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan or any Notice of Election, (a) upon the death of a serving director, (i) the entire Fee Account Balance, including all Fees deferred under the Plan, and all unpaid installments of Fees then being paid and interest and earnings thereon, shall be distributed in one lump sum cash amount to his designated beneficiary or estate, (ii) the entire Share Account, including all Restricted Stock Units deferred under the Plan, shall be distributed in Shares to his designated beneficiary or estate and (iii) with respect to a director who has elected to have his deferred Fees converted into Units, a cash lump sum equal to the Market Price on the date of death multiplied by the number of Units credited to his account on such date shall be paid to his designated beneficiary or estate and (b) on the death of a director who had previously retired and had elected an installment method of distribution, all sums remaining undistributed shall be paid in one lump sum cash amount or Shares, as applicable, to his designated beneficiary or estate. Payments required to be made under this Section shall be made on the date thirty (30)days after the director's death.

In the event that any person to whom deferred Fees or Restricted Stock Units are distributable under the terms of this Plan shall be unable to properly manage his own affairs by reason of incapacity, all amounts distributable hereunder may be distributed to a duly appointed personal representative, conservator or guardian or to any person, firm or a corporation furnishing or providing support and maintenance to such distributee (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall otherwise be paid on the existing distribution schedule applicable to such amounts pursuant to the Notice of Election then in effect). The Company and its officers and employees shall be fully and completely exonerated from all liability to any distributee upon making distribution in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*7. Change of Control*

Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Plan or any Notice of Election, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), the entire Fee Account Balance and Share Account Balance, as applicable, of each director, including all Fees (and any related Units) and Restricted Stock Units deferred under the Plan, and all unpaid installments of Fees then being paid, and interest and earnings thereon, shall immediately be paid to the director in a single cash lump sum or in Shares, as applicable, on the date of

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

the Change of Control. For the purpose of this Plan, a "**Change of Control**" shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation under Section 409A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. *Amendment and Termination*

The Board may at any time amend or terminate this Deferred Compensation Plan; however, no action of the Board may permit anyone other than a director eligible under Section 1 to participate in the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated, a director's Account Balance or Share Account shall become payable only to the extent permissible under the regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Treasury pursuant to Section 409A and in the manner set forth therein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. *Miscellaneous*

The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer, construe and interpret this Plan. The Committee may, from time to time, name a Company employee to administer, construe or interpret the terms of the Plan. The decisions of the Committee concerning the administration, construction and interpretation of this Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties involved, including the successors and assigns of Emerson.

No right or payment under this Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Restricted Stock Units or any Shares with respect thereto) shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be null and void. No right or payment hereunder shall be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled to such benefit. If any participant or beneficiary hereunder should become bankrupt or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, encumber or charge any right or payment hereunder, then such right or payment shall, in the discretion of the Committee terminate. In such a case, the Company may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the participant or beneficiary, his spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and in such proportion as the Committee shall determine, and their decision shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons involved.

No director or other person shall have any claim to be entitled to make a deferral under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of directors or beneficiaries under the Plan. The terms and conditions of deferrals under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each director.

The opportunity to make a deferral under the Plan shall not be construed as giving a director the right to be retained in the service of the Board or the Company. A director's deferral under the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on such director except as set forth in the Plan and the applicable Notice of Election.

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

In the event of changes in the outstanding Shares of the Company by reason of stock dividends, spin-offs, recapitalization, mergers, consolidations, split-ups, combinations or exchange of shares and the like, the (i) account of a director who has elected to convert his deferred Fees into Units and (ii) the director's Share Account, as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such action if such action consists of distribution of Company stock. For purposes of the foregoing, an appropriate adjustment shall mean, in the case of a stock dividend, stock split, or reverse stock split, an equitable adjustment so as to maintain the same proportionate number of Units or Shares as were allocated to the account prior to such action. If such action consists of any other distribution, the value of such distribution shall be converted to Units or Shares on the date of such distribution.

This Plan is unfunded. The Plan, together with the applicable Notice of Election, shall represent at all times an unfunded and unsecured contractual obligation of the Company. Each director and beneficiary will be an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to all obligations owed to them under the Plan. Amounts payable under the Plan will be satisfied solely out of the general assets of the Company subject to the claims of its creditors. No director or beneficiary will have any interest in any fund or in any specific asset of the Company of any kind, nor shall such director or beneficiary or any other person have any right to receive any payment or distribution under the Plan except as, and to the extent, expressly provided in the Plan and the applicable Notice of Election. Detailed records of amounts deferred hereunder, including interest credits and payouts, shall be maintained by the Executive Compensation Executive, and made available on reasonable notice for any director's inspection with respect to such director's own deferrals.

If any provision of the Plan or any Notice of Election is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or deferral, or would disqualify the Plan or any deferral under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the intent of the Plan or such Notice of Election, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or deferral, and the remainder of the Plan and such Notice of Election shall remain in full force and effect.

To the extent applicable, the Company shall be authorized to withhold from any distribution under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a director the amount (in cash, Shares, other property, net settlement, or any combination thereof) of applicable withholding taxes due in respect of such distribution and to take such other action (including providing for elective payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by such Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes.

With respect to deferrals that are subject to Section 409A, the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, and the provisions of the Plan and any Notice of Election shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of

------

**Exhibit 10(a)**

Section 409A, and the Plan shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Notice of Election would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict.

The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law which might otherwise apply.

**As approved by Emerson's Board of Directors on this 1st day of November, 2022.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.The purchase or other acquisition (other than from the Company) by any person, entity or group of persons, within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (excluding, for this purpose, the Company or its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan of the Company or its subsidiaries), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company or the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any award agreement to the contrary, for any Award that provides for accelerated distribution on a Change of Control of amounts that constitute "deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, if the event that constitutes such Change of Control does not also constitute a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company's assets (in either case, as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), such amount shall not be distributed on such Change of Control but instead shall vest as of such Change of Control and shall be distributed on the scheduled payment date specified in the applicable award agreement, except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in the awardee who holds such award incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) "Fair Market Value" as of any date means the average of the highest and lowest price per Share as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape for such date (or, if the Shares are not traded on such date, the next day on which the Shares are traded).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) "Material Revision" shall have the meaning ascribed thereto by the corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "Non-Management Director" means a member of the Board who is not an employee or officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) "Plan" means this Emerson Electric Co. Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Management Directors, as amended from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) "Restricted Share Portion" shall mean that portion of the total annual retainer paid to directors, as approved by the Committee or as recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board. The Restricted Share Portion may range from 0% to 100% of the total annual retainer, in the sole discretion of the Board or the Committee.

------

**Exhibit 10(b)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) "Restricted Share" shall mean a Share which is awarded to a Non-Management Director subject to forfeiture, as more fully defined in Section 5(b) below.

(m)"Restricted Stock Unit" shall mean a bookkeeping entry maintained by the Company that represents the right (subject to forfeiture) of a Non-Management Director to receive one Share, as more fully described in Section 5(c) below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.*Eligibility*. Only Non-Management Directors shall participate in the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.*Administration*. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee may designate persons other than members of the Committee to carry out its responsibilities, subject to applicable law. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Committee and all determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members. Any determination of the Committee under the Plan may be made without notice of a meeting of the Committee by a written consent signed by all members of the Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or desirable in connection with the administration of the Plan. All decisions, determinations and interpretations by the Committee or the Board regarding the Plan shall be final and binding on all current or former Directors of the Company and their beneficiaries, heirs, successors and assigns. The Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall consider such factors as it deems relevant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to making such decisions, determinations and interpretations. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or to any settlement of any dispute between a Non-Management Director and the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.*Restricted Share Portion*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Each Non-Management Director who is elected or re-elected by the stockholders of the Company at, or who continues in office after, each Annual Meeting, shall, on the Annual Meeting date, be awarded Restricted Shares and/or Restricted Stock Units, with the aggregate Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares equal to the Restricted Share Portion as of such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Non-Management Director joins the Board prior to an Annual Meeting, such Non-Management Director may be awarded Restricted Shares and/or Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the aggregate Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares shall not exceed the amount provided for in the preceding sentence, on a pro rata basis in the discretion of the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Restricted Shares shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture as more fully described in the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.The Restricted Shares shall be held for the benefit of the Non-Management Director in book-entry form by the Company's stock transfer agent until the restrictions lapse, or the Restricted Shares are forfeited, in accordance with this Section 5(b). However, the Non-Management Director (or any trustee referred to in Section 10(b) hereof) shall be

------

**Exhibit 10(b)**

entitled to receive all dividends paid on the Restricted Shares and shall possess all voting rights with respect to such Restricted Shares as are possessed by other holders of common stock of the Company in their respective Shares. The Non-Management Director may reinvest the dividends received upon the Restricted Shares upon the same terms available in any dividend reinvestment plan providing for broad-based participation among the Company's shareholders. Any Shares so purchased will not be subject to restrictions hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.No Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the restrictions lapse, or the Restricted Shares are forfeited, in accordance with this Section 5(b).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.The restrictions in this Section 5(b) will lapse, and the Restricted Shares will vest, on the earliest of: (A) the date of the first Annual Meeting following the applicable date of grant of such Restricted Shares, (B) the date the Non-Management Director dies or becomes disabled or (C) the date of a Change of Control of the Company (such applicable date, the "Restricted Share Award Vesting Date"); but only if the awardee is a Non-Management Director on the applicable Restricted Share Award Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.Upon the termination of a Non-Management Director's tenure on the Board, any Restricted Shares which are not vested as of the date of such termination (subject to Section 5(b)(iii)(B) above) shall not vest and shall automatically be forfeited by the Non-Management Director and cancelled by the Company for no value. However, the Committee in its sole discretion may, when it finds that such action would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any remaining vesting restrictions with respect to such Restricted Shares, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.Upon vesting, the Restricted Shares will be distributed to the Non-Management Director, without tax withholding unless required by law or as otherwise set forth in an applicable written agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Restricted Stock Units shall be restricted and subject to forfeiture as more fully described in the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i.Restricted Stock Units constitute bookkeeping entries maintained by the Company that represent the right to receive one Share to be issued and delivered, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and any additional terms and conditions that may be set forth in a written instrument evidencing the Restricted Stock Units. A Non-Management Director holding Restricted Stock Units will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Restricted Stock Units prior to the issuance of the Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units. However, the

------

**Exhibit 10(b)**

Non-Management Director shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any cash, stock or other property paid by the Company as dividends with respect to an equivalent number of Shares. An award of Restricted Stock Units shall specify whether the amount representing the dividend equivalent, if any, shall be paid to the Non-Management Director in cash on the same date the Company pays the dividend to its stockholders or on the same date his or her Restricted Stock Units are settled. In the event the award agreement provides for deferred payment of the dividend equivalent, the amount of accumulated dividend equivalents shall be credited with interest as determined by the Committee but in any event no greater than 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate, compounded quarterly (as prescribed under section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, (26 U.S.C. 1274(d))). Such interest shall accrue from the date that the dividend equivalent would otherwise be payable had payment of such amount not been deferred. The Non-Management Director shall not possess any voting rights with respect to Restricted Stock Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ii.No Restricted Stock Units may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the restrictions lapse or the Restricted Stock Units are forfeited, in accordance with this Section 5(c).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iii.The restrictions in this Section 5(c) will lapse, and the Restricted Stock Units will vest, on the earliest of: (A) the date of the first Annual Meeting following the applicable date of grant of such Restricted Stock Units, (B) the date the Non-Management Director dies or becomes disabled or (C) the date of a Change of Control of the Company (such applicable date, the "RSU Vesting Date"); but only if the awardee is a Non-Management Director on the applicable RSU Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iv.Upon the termination of the Non-Management Director's tenure on the Board, any Restricted Stock Units which are not vested as of the date of such termination (subject to Section 5(c)(iii)(B) above) shall not vest and shall automatically be forfeited by the Non-Management Director and cancelled by the Company for no value and without issuance of any Shares. However, the Committee in its sole discretion may, when it finds that such action would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any remaining vesting restrictions with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem appropriate. An award of Restricted Stock Units shall specify whether or not any dividend equivalents which have been deferred in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) shall be forfeited if the Restricted Stock Units which generated such deferred dividends are forfeited.

------

**Exhibit 10(b)**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;v.Subject to Section 5(c)(vi), vested Restricted Stock Units will be settled within 60 days following the applicable Vesting Date, without tax withholding unless required by law or as otherwise set forth in applicable written agreement; provided, however, the Company will not be obligated to settle an award of Restricted Stock Units unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements, including any applicable federal or state securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which Shares may then be listed or quoted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vi.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(c), the Committee in its discretion may permit a Non-Management Director to defer the settlement of any award of Restricted Stock Units that becomes vested pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Deferred Compensation Plan and such other rules and procedures as the Committee or the Board may establish from time to time, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;vii. *6. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code*. The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the provisions of the Plan and any award agreement shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Plan shall be operated accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any award hereunder would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding anything else in the Plan, if the Committee considers a Non-Management Director to be a "specified employee" under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code at the time of such Non-Management Director's "separation from service" (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code), and the amount hereunder is "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, any distribution that otherwise would be made to such Non-Management Director with respect to an award as a result of such "separation from service" shall not be made until the date that is six months after such "separation from service", except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in such Non-Management Director's incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. If an award includes a "series of installment payments" (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), the Non-Management Director's right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment and if an award includes "dividend equivalents" (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Non-Management Director's right to the dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any award agreement is not warranted or guaranteed, and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Non-Management Director on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

------

**Exhibit 10(b)**

7.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Maximum Number of Shares*. The maximum number of Shares which may be awarded pursuant to this Plan is 500,000. This number shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee in the event of any stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, spin-offs, split-offs, split-ups, combinations or exchanges of Shares. The determination of the Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be conclusive. Any Shares forfeited as provided in Section 5(b)(iv) or 5(c)(v) shall be re-added to the Shares available for award.

8.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendment and Termination*. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time, provided, however, that no Material Revision may be made without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

9.*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effectiveness of the Plan*. The Plan, as amended and restated, is effective as of November 1, 2022.

10. *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Miscellaneous*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Nothing contained herein shall entitle a Non-Management Director to continue in office or limit the authority of the Committee to recommend that any Non-Management Director should no longer serve as a member of the Board.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding Section 5(b)(ii), Restricted Shares may, with the consent of the Company, be registered in the name of a personal, revocable trust established by such Non-Management Director; provided, however, that all of the terms of the Plan including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 5(b), shall be binding upon the trustee of any such trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Shares awarded under the Plan shall be issued out of treasury Shares or authorized but unissued Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri without regard to the principles of conflicts of law which might otherwise apply.

Approved by the Board of Directors on the 1st day of November, 2022.

Exhibit A

The principal provisions of the Restricted Stock Plan for Non-Management Directors are as follows. The below summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this summary and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Only non-management Directors are eligible to participate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will determine the portion of the annual retainer to be paid each year in restricted stock or restricted stock units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The number of restricted shares or units will be based upon fair market value of Emerson stock, which is the average of the high and low trading prices for Emerson stock reported by the NYSE, on the date of award.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The restricted shares or units may not be transferred. Restricted shares will be held by our transfer agent until the restrictions lapse or are waived. Restricted stock units will be maintained as bookkeeping entries by Emerson until settled.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The restrictions will lapse, and the restricted shares or restricted stock units will vest, upon the earlier of: (1) the date of the first annual meeting of Emerson's shareholders following the applicable date of grant of your shares or units (2) the date of your death or disability, or (3) a change in control of Emerson, but only if you are serving as a non-management Director on such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• If your tenure on the Board ends for any reason other than the foregoing, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of Emerson to waive the restrictions. If the restrictions are not waived, any unvested shares or units will be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Once vested, an award of restricted stock units (including both the Share-Settled portion and the Cash-Settled Portion) will be paid to you within 60 days following the vesting date. However, you may elect to defer the settlement of your vested restricted stock units pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Emerson Electric Co. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the restricted period, you will be entitled to receive all dividends and exercise all voting rights with respect to restricted shares. Cash dividend equivalents will be paid on restricted stock units, either on the dividend payment date or deferred, with interest, at such time as specified in the award letter to which this summary is attached.
