Sales in the quarter were $5.9 billion, a quarterly record and
up 13% from the second quarter of 2022, driven entirely by organic
sales growth.
Segment margins were 21.6%, a quarterly record and a 150-basis
point improvement over the second quarter of 2022.
Operating cash flow in the quarter was $851 million and free
cash flow was $691 million, up $511 million and $490 million,
respectively, over the same period in 2022 and in-line with full

of 9-11% and adjusted earnings per share of between $2.27 and
$2.37.
Craig Arnold, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer, said,
"Achieving quarterly record adjusted earnings marked the end of a
very strong first half of the year. Demand across our markets
continues to be strong, propelling backlogs to record levels. We’re
confident we can achieve our increased guidance for the year and
that we remain well positioned to capitalize on reindustrialization
in North America and Europe as well as the secular growth drivers
of electrification, energy transition and digitalization."

EATON CORPORATION plc NOTES TO THE SECOND QUARTER 2023
EARNINGS RELEASE
Amounts are in millions of dollars unless indicated otherwise
(per share data assume dilution). Columns and rows may not add and
the sum of components may not equal total amounts reported due to
rounding.
Note 1. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial
measures. These financial measures include adjusted earnings,

which differs from the most directly comparable measure calculated
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
A reconciliation of each of these financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this earnings

useful to investors because they provide additional meaningful
financial information that should be considered when assessing our
business performance and trends, and they allow investors to more
easily compare Eaton Corporation plc's (Eaton or the Company)
financial performance period to period. Management uses this
information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going performance
of Eaton and each business segment.
