Overall Performance

  • Another record-setting quarter with strong performance across all segments.
  • Adjusted EPS reached $2.02, up 15% year-over-year (YoY). Excluding FX and M&A impacts, EPS growth would have been 22%.
  • Organic revenue grew 15%, accelerating from 11% in Q2. Total reported revenue increased 8% despite a 4% FX headwind and 3% net M&A impact.
  • Segment margins hit an all-time high of 21.2%, up 130 bps YoY.
  • Operating cash flow rose 29% and free cash flow was up 30% YoY, reaching 15.6% of sales.
  • Order activity remained robust across the portfolio, driving record backlogs, especially in Electrical and Aerospace.

Secular Growth Drivers

  • Electrification: Over $700M of wins tied to factory buildouts, EV/battery plants, semiconductor facilities, and charging infrastructure. $1.3T of announced U.S. manufacturing projects in 2022 signals a long runway; stimulus impacts have yet to meaningfully appear.
  • Energy Transition: Continued shift toward renewables, grid resiliency investment, distributed energy resources, and storage. Eaton benefits across utility and industrial markets.
  • Digitalization: Data center growth remains strong; intelligence-added products and software solutions support long-term growth.
