Item 7.01. Regulation FD
Disclosure.
During a
previously announced presentation given on May 19, 2010 at the 2010 Electrical
Products Group Conference in Longboat Key, Florida, David N. Farr, the Company’s
Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, provided an update to the
Company’s previously issued outlook for fiscal year 2010. Portions of
the slide presentation relating to the Company’s outlook for 2010 are attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The presentation slides have been posted, and
will be available for approximately one week, in the Investor Relations area of
Emerson’s website at www.Emerson.com/financial.
The
investor slide presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures as such term is
defined in Regulation G under the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. While the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are
useful in evaluating the Company, this information should be considered as
supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP
financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other
companies. The reasons why management believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures provide useful information are set forth in the Company’s most recent
Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Statements
in the investor slide presentation that are not strictly historical may be
“forward-looking” statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and the
Company undertakes no obligation to update any such statements to reflect later
developments. These risks and uncertainties include economic and currency
conditions, market demand, pricing, and competitive and technological factors,
among others, as set forth in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
