October 2006 Order Comments:
Order growth moderated to 5 percent for the three months ended in October. Favorable currency exchange rates contributed approximately 1 percentage point to the increase.
Process Management orders moderated compared to September but remained strong across the segment. Growth was led by the valve and systems businesses.
Orders for Industrial Automation remained strong. Growth for this segment was led by the power generating alternator and electronic drives businesses.
Network Power order growth for the three months ended in October held in the 5 to 10 percent range. Growth for this segment was led by the uninterruptible power supply (UPS), precision cooling and China power systems businesses.
Climate Technologies order trends moderated compared to September as the North American air-conditioning business continued to decline against tough comparisons from the prior year period. The North American air-conditioning orders were up over 50 percent in the first fiscal quarter of 2006.
Appliance and Tools order growth remained in the 0 to 5 percent range. Growth was mixed across this segment with particular strength from the residential storage business.
