EMERSON ELECTRIC CO 8-K

What Happened
Emerson Electric Co. announced its first-quarter 2026 results in a press release issued on February 3, 2026, and furnished with this Form 8-K. The release describes the company’s recent operating performance and provides both GAAP and non‑GAAP information intended to help evaluate results.

Key Details

• Press release dated February 3, 2026, reporting first-quarter 2026 results (furnished as Exhibit 99.1).
• References to “underlying orders” in the release mean trailing three‑month average orders growth versus the prior year, excluding currency effects and significant acquisitions/divestitures.
• The release includes non‑GAAP financial measures (as defined under SEC Regulation G); Emerson states these are supplemental to, not a substitute for, GAAP results.
• The release contains forward‑looking statements and standard risk cautions (examples cited include global conflicts such as Russia‑Ukraine, economic and currency conditions, market demand, pricing, cybersecurity, tariffs, inflation, and other risks referenced in Emerson’s Form 10‑K).

Why It Matters
This filing gives investors the company’s latest quarterly performance update and management’s view of recent order trends. Because the release uses non‑GAAP measures and an “underlying orders” definition, investors should read the press release alongside Emerson’s GAAP results and disclosures in its Form 10‑K to understand adjustments and the risks that could affect future results.
