ST. LOUIS (February 7, 2012) – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced that net sales for the first quarter ended December 31, 2011, decreased 4 percent to $5.3 billion. Underlying sales also declined 4 percent, with the U.S. down 4 percent and total international sales down 3 percent. Supply chain disruptions because of the flooding in Thailand affected results significantly in Process Management and to a lesser extent in Network Power, in total delaying approximately $300 million in sales, most of which are expected to be recovered in 2012. Investment deferrals by U.S. telecommunications carriers, global HVAC channel inventory destocking, residential construction weakness in the U.S. and China, and European economic uncertainty also contributed to the sales decline.");
