Emerson reported declines in net sales during its fiscal third quarter of 2020

Ventas EmersonUnited States. Emerson reported results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020 and announced updated guidance for the full year.

Third-quarter GAAP net sales were down 16 percent and core sales were down 15 percent, excluding the unfavorable 1 percent currency. Revenue declines were in line with management's expectations, as COVID-19 negatively impacted nearly all end markets and geographies during the quarter.

The company continued to see particular weakness in North American markets, while China grew 3 percent. Underlying orders for the past three months of the third quarter fell 19 percent, reflecting customers in the industrial, commercial and residential markets cutting costs and budgets in response to COVID-19-related operating restrictions and an overall drop in economic activity.
