Quarterly Results Press
Release
On
November 2, 2010, a press release was issued regarding the fourth quarter and
fiscal 2010 results of Emerson Electric Co. (the “Company”). A copy of this
press release is furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit
99.1.
The press
release 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 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. References to orders in the press release refer to the
Company’s trailing three-month average GAAP underlying orders versus the prior
year as reported in our Form 8-K filed on October 28, 2010.
