The discrete automation market, particularly in automotive and packaging in Western Europe and China, remains relatively depressed. The tariff environment remains dynamic, with Emerson's annualized gross incremental tariff impact now estimated at $210 million, affecting profitability.
The company's free cash flow generation was better than expected, resulting in a margin of 21.3%. The adjusted segment EBITDA margin was 27.1%, impacted by 40 basis points due to tariffs. The backlog increased to $7.6 billion, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1%. Price contribution was 2.5 points in the quarter.
