December 2016 Orders Comments
Trailing three-month orders decreased 4 percent as monthly orders
continue to reflect improving conditions in energy related
markets and solid demand in HVAC markets. With the improved
Automation Solutions order trend, underlying orders were flat,
excluding unfavorable currency translation.
Automation Solutions orders decreased high-single digits
reflecting the improving pace of capital and operational spending
by energy related and general industrial customers, with
unfavorable currency translation from a stronger U.S. dollar
deducting 5 percent. Orders for the month of December reflected
positive mid-single digit growth and turned positive for the
first time since December 2014. Underlying trailing-three month
orders improved to down mid-single digits. While remaining down,
order trends in all regions improved as compared to November. We
are cautiously optimistic that we are seeing a turn in orders
taking shape. Globally, life sciences and power markets continue
to be favorable, particularly in upgrade/expansion and MRO
projects. North America MRO orders continued to improve in
December, especially in power and chemical markets.
Commercial Residential Solutions orders increased mid-single
digits as favorable conditions continued in HVAC, refrigeration
and U.S. construction markets. Orders reflected strong demand in
North American air conditioning as well as broad strength in
China and across most of the Asia-Pacific region. A continuation
of improving early-cycle demand led to high-single digit growth
in the sensors and controls businesses. Growth in the wet/dry
vacuums and food waste disposers businesses reflects a
continuation of favorable conditions in U.S. construction
markets. Currency translation deducted 1 percent.
