Investor Presentaiton
We created value for our shareholders.
Despite the year's inflationary environment, labor shortages
and supply chain challenges, we delivered record segment
margins and adjusted earnings per share. And we once again
delivered strong total shareholder returns compared to our
peers and the S&P 500.
Our financial results for the year include
the following:
• Earnings per share for 2022 were $6.14. Excluding
charges of $0.99 per share related to intangible
amortization, $0.37 per share from acquisitions and
divestitures, and $0.07 per share related to a multi-year
restructuring program, adjusted earnings per share
were $7.57, up 14% over 2021.
•
Segment margins for 2022 were 20.2%, a full-year record.
• Operating cash flow for 2022 was $2.5 billion.
⚫ For the full year, 2022 sales were $20.8 billion, up 6%
from 2021.
• Finally, we posted 13% growth in organic revenue, which
was more than 60% above the midpoint of our original
guidance for the year.
While we exceeded the midpoint of our original guidance for
the year in three out of four of our financial metrics - organic
revenue, segment margins and adjusted EPS - we missed
on free cash flow due to our efforts to protect customers
with higher levels of inventory. We know we must and will do
better in 2023.
We created value for our customers.
• We expanded partnerships to enhance grid reliability
and began work with the U.S. federal government to
make electric transportation safer and more efficient.
We secured a growing number of wins tied to our
customers' goals around electrification and energy
transition, including significant orders for our BreaktorⓇ
power protection technology and solutions to support
electric vehicle charging stations and needed upgrades
to electrical infrastructure.
• We also helped customers address critical power
management challenges through our Brightlayer™ suite
of digital solutions. Our wins in the year moved us
closer to our target of achieving $500 million in revenue
2022 highlights

140
new products added
to our Brightlayer suite
of digital solutions
from our smart and connected hardware, software and
digital services. In support of this goal, we enabled
13 existing Eaton hardware products to be smart and
connected and launched 9 new software offerings to
strengthen our Brightlayer suite.
We're only now beginning to
realize the benefits that powerful
global trends will have on our company:
energy transition, the electrification of
the economy and digitalization will drive
growth in our markets for years to come."
• We continued to invest in high-growth, high-margin
businesses to meet the changing needs of our
customers and strengthen our portfolio, closing the
acquisitions of Royal Power Solutions and a 50% stake
in the circuit breaker business of Jiangsu Huineng
Electric Co., Ltd.
We created value for our people.
• We maintained a strong focus on workplace safety,
delivering a safety performance that remained at
world-class levels, including a days-away injury rate that
improved by 6% over 2021. But our total recordable
injury rate was flat for the year at 0.39%, which shows
we'll need to work harder to deliver our 2030 world-
leading target rate of 0.25%.
• We appointed leaders from inside Eaton to our topmost
leadership roles, naming Heath Monesmith and Paulo
Ruiz to lead our Electrical and Industrial Sectors,
respectively, and Terry Szmagala to lead our Legal
function. And early in 2023, Mike Yelton and
Pete Denk were named to succeed Brian Brickhouse
and João Faria following their retirements later this
year and will lead our Electrical Sector Americas Region
and Vehicle Group, respectively. These appointments
reflect the rigor of our succession planning efforts and
commitment to talent development across the enterprise.
• We strengthened our reputation as a values-driven
company, earning a 100% score on the Human Rights
