Management Commentary
“Emerson delivered strong underlying orders in the second quarter with margin expansion and adjusted earnings exceeding our expectations,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “We achieved another quarter of record gross profit and adjusted segment EBITA margins, supported by our Emerson Management System and demonstrating the value customers attribute to our leading technology. Our superior first half performance and ability to navigate the tariff environment give us the confidence to update our 2025 outlook."
Karsanbhai continued, “We have also marked the conclusion of Emerson's portfolio transformation with the completion of the AspenTech buy-in on March 12. We are pleased to be making significant progress on the integration. In addition, our review of strategic alternatives for our Safety & Productivity segment concluded the best value for our shareholders is to retain the business and continue to drive the segment's industry leading margins and cash flow. Looking ahead, we are excited to capitalize on the growth potential of our transformed portfolio, supported by secular drivers, and to sustain the excellent operational performance we have consistently delivered since 2021.”
2025 Outlook
The fiscal year 2025 guidance framework now reflects the full ownership of AspenTech. Net sales guidance increases to ~4%, as the impact from foreign exchange is now expected to be flat, and underlying sales are held at the midpoint. GAAP EPS decreases due to transaction-related costs, while adjusted EPS guidance increases at the midpoint. Expectations for operating cash flow and free cash flow are updated to $3.5B - $3.6B and $3.1B - $3.2B, respectively, as strong operational performance partially offsets transaction-related headwinds of ~$0.2B. The 2025 outlook assumes returning ~$2.3B to shareholders through $1.1B of share repurchases and ~$1.2B of dividend.

Guidance figures are approximate. | 2025 Q3 | 2025
Net Sales Growth | 4.5% - 5.5% | ~4%
Underlying Sales Growth | 3.5% - 4.5% | ~4%
Earnings Per Share | $1.04 - $1.08 | $4.05 - $4.20
Amortization of Intangibles | ~$0.36 | ~$1.34
Restructuring / Related Costs | ~$0.06 | ~$0.20
Acquisition / Divestiture Fees and Related Costs | ~$0.02 | ~$0.22
Discrete taxes related to AspenTech transaction |  | $0.09
Adjusted Earnings Per Share | $1.48 - $1.52 | $5.90 - $6.05
Operating Cash Flow |  | $3.5B - $3.6B
Free Cash Flow |  | $3.1B - $3.2B

The following table shows the Company's stock compensation and corporate and other expenses on an adjusted basis. The Company's definition of adjusted stock compensation excludes integration-related stock compensation expense. The Company's definition of adjusted corporate and other excludes corporate restructuring and related costs, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction fees, and certain gains, losses or impairments. This metric is useful for reconciling from total adjusted segment EBITA to the Company's consolidated adjusted EBITA.
