INDUSTRIAL SOFTWARE
(Dollars in thousands except where noted)
Description of Business
The Emerson Industrial Software Business (“the Business”) is a global leader in providing grid modernization technology, advanced distribution management systems and
geological simulation software. The Business operates two businesses: Open Systems International, Inc. (“OSI Inc.”) and Geological Simulation Software (“GSS”). OSI Inc. and GSS are two of Emerson Electric Co.’s (“Emerson”) industrial software
businesses.
OSI Inc. offers operational technology (“OT”) solutions that enable utilities to control generation, transmission, and distribution of power and ultimately ensure
supply equals demand in the power grid. GSS is a leading independent developer of software solutions to the global energy and alternative energy, carbon capture and storage, and minerals and mining industries. GSS provides geological simulation
software that characterizes subsurface geological formations from seismic interpretation to dynamic simulation, connecting reservoirs to operational activities to optimize production and utilization.
Completion of Acquisition
On May 16, 2022, stockholders of AspenTech Corporation (formerly Aspen Technology, Inc.) (“AspenTech”) voted to adopt the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated October 10, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 23, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of May 3, 2022 (the “Transaction Agreement”) and approve the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the
“Transactions”), including the combination of the Business and AspenTech under a new publicly traded company. The Transactions closed on the same day on May 16, 2022 (the “Closing”).
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Emerson contributed $6,014,000,000 in cash to Emersub CX, Inc. (now Aspen Technology, Inc.), a then-wholly
owned subsidiary of Emerson (“New AspenTech”), in exchange for New AspenTech common stock, (ii) EMR Worldwide Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson, contributed the Business to New AspenTech in exchange for New AspenTech common stock, (iii)
Emersub CXI, Inc., a then-wholly owned subsidiary of New AspenTech, merged with and into AspenTech, with AspenTech being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of New AspenTech (the “Merger”) and (iv) as a result of the
Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AspenTech common stock (subject to certain exceptions) was converted into the right to receive (i) $87.69 in cash (calculated by dividing $6,014,000,000 by the number of outstanding shares of AspenTech
common stock as of the Closing on a fully diluted basis) and (ii) 0.42 shares of New AspenTech common stock. At the Closing, AspenTech changed its name from “Aspen Technology, Inc.” to “AspenTech Corporation.”
Also at the Closing, New AspenTech changed its registered name with the Secretary of State of Delaware to “Aspen Technology, Inc.” Immediately after the Closing,
Emerson beneficially owned 55% of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock. AspenTech common stock is now
delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is no longer publicly traded. New AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and New AspenTech common
stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”

Russia and Ukraine
While the Business has no operations in Ukraine, the ongoing conflict there could negatively impact its financial position and results of operations. The United States
and other governments have imposed sanctions and taken other regulatory actions that adversely affect doing business in Russia and with Russian companies. The Business’s GSS business licenses software and provides related services to customers in
Russia and has operations there. The GSS business had net sales of approximately $24 million and $6 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and the six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, and total assets of approximately $15
million as of March 31, 2022, related to operations in Russia. OSI Inc. does not have sales or operations in Russia. The Business performed an assessment for potential asset impairment in accordance with its accounting practices, and recognized
expense of $1 million in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2022 related to the write-off of uncollectable accounts receivable with certain Russian customers. The Business continues to evaluate the impact of the various sanctions and
export control measures imposed by the United States and other governments on its ability to do business in Russia, maintain contracts with vendors and pay employees in Russia, as well as receive payment from customers in Russia or Ukraine. The
outcome of these assessments will depend on how the conflict evolves and on further actions that may be taken by the United States, Russia, and other governments around the world. No material impact to supply chain operations is expected due to the
conflict in Ukraine.
Basis of Presentation
GSS and OSI Inc. are two of Emerson’s industrial software businesses, and their results of operations and financial statements have previously been reflected in
Emerson’s consolidated financial statements. These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements present the historical financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Business as historically managed within Emerson and
include all accounts of the Business in a combination of dedicated legal entities and shared legal entities of Emerson. Intercompany transactions, profits and balances among the Business’s entities have been eliminated. These unaudited
consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Sale and purchase transactions between the Business and other Emerson
affiliates are included in the unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements. See Note 8.
These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements reflect charges for costs directly related to the Business and the Business has been allocated a portion
of Emerson’s general corporate costs. All such costs are reflected in the unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements. The Business participates in various Emerson programs which include information technology services, employee
benefits, medical insurance, and other programs. Costs associated with these programs are charged to the Business based on Emerson’s actual cost and the Business’s relative level of usage. The Business also utilizes Emerson’s global shared service
centers and is charged for direct costs and its share of associated overhead costs.
Emerson provides certain oversight and support services, including assistance with management strategy, logistics, marketing, finance, treasury, tax, human resources,
legal and other activities. A charge for these services has historically been allocated to the Business based principally on revenue. While management believes the methodologies and assumptions used to allocate these costs are reasonable, the
unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position, the results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows of the Business in the future, or what such costs would have been had the
Business operated as a stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Emerson utilizes a centralized treasury function which manages the working capital and financing needs of all its business operations. This function oversees a cash
pooling arrangement which sweeps participating Business cash accounts into pooled Emerson cash accounts on a daily basis. Pooled cash and nontrade intercompany balances attributable to Emerson have not been presented as assets and liabilities in
the accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements. These balances are reflected as “Net parent investment” in the equity section of the unaudited consolidated and combined balance sheets. Changes in these balances are
reflected as “Net transfer from (to) Emerson” in the financing activities section of the unaudited consolidated and combined statements of cash flows. Cash and cash equivalents from entities not participating in the Emerson centralized treasury
function and specifically attributable to the Business have been reflected in the unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements.
9
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of
operating results for the interim periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal and recurring accruals. The unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Business pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC and consequently do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, the Business believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2021 and the notes
thereto.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective October 1, 2021, the Business adopted three accounting standard updates which had no impact or an immaterial impact on the Business’s
financial statements. These included:
| • |
Updates to ASC 805, Business Combinations, which clarify the accounting for contract assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In general, this will result in contract
liabilities being recognized at their historical amounts under ASC 606, rather than at fair value in accordance with the general requirements of ASC 805.
|
| • |
Updates to ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require the recognition of a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax with any incremental amount as a non-income-based tax.
These updates also make certain changes to intra-period tax allocation principles and interim tax calculations.
|
| • |
Adoption of ASC 321, Equity Securities, ASC 323, Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging, which clarify when equity method of accounting should be applied or discontinued based on observable transactions.
|
(2) REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Business disaggregates its revenue into three categories: (i) license and solutions, (ii) maintenance and (iii) services and other. License
and solutions revenue is primarily derived from term software licenses sold in the GSS segment and perpetual software licenses sold in the OSI Inc. segment. Term software license revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to
the customer, which generally aligns with the first day of the contractual term. OSI Inc. perpetual software license revenue is generally recognized over time using an input measure of progress based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to date
to the total estimated cost to complete. In limited circumstances, OSI Inc. sells perpetual software licenses on a stand-alone basis and recognizes revenue on those sales on a point in time basis. Maintenance is derived from both segments and
consists of software maintenance, recognized ratably over the maintenance term. Both segments offer services, which consist of professional services and training. Revenue from professional services not considered part of an integrated software
solution and training are generally recognized as the customer consumes the associated benefits. See note 11, “Business Segment Information,” for additional information about the Business’s revenues.
The following table summarizes the Business’s contract assets and contract liabilities:

|
|||
The majority of the Business’s contract balances are related to arrangements where revenue is recognized over time and payments are made
according to a contractual billing schedule. The decrease in net contract liabilities was primarily due to revenue recognized for performance completed during the period which exceeded customer billings. Revenue recognized for the three and
six months ended March 31, 2022 included $7,618 and $42,606 that was included in the beginning contract liability balance.
10
As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, capitalized incremental costs to obtain customer contracts and capitalized costs to fulfill
contracts are immaterial. Contract assets are reviewed for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326. The potential impact of credit losses is immaterial. Revenue recognized for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 for performance
obligations that were fully satisfied in previous periods is immaterial.
As of March 31, 2022, the Business’s backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its
customers was approximately $345,600. The Business expects to recognize approximately 53% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the subsequent two years.
(3) ACQUISITIONS
On October 1, 2020, the Business completed the acquisition of OSI Inc. for approximately $1,588,802, net of cash acquired. OSI Inc. is a leading operations technology
provider to the global power industry. The Business recognized goodwill of $967,383 (none of which is tax deductible) and identifiable intangible assets of $783,400, primarily technology, customer relationships, and trademarks with a
weighted-average useful life of approximately 11 years.
Results of operations for OSI Inc. for fiscal year 2021 included revenue of $173,252 and a net loss of $(46,428), including first-year pretax acquisition accounting
charges related to backlog and deferred revenue of $30,400 and $13,661, respectively. Results also included amortization of technology, customer relationships, and trademarks of $66,475.

Total intangible asset amortization expense was $22,353 and $29,350 for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $44,914 and $62,024 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decline in amortization expense for the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2022 was due primarily to no backlog amortization for either period compared to $6,633 and $17,133 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
Income tax benefit was $2,176 and $2,898, resulting in effective tax rates of 40% and 33% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Discrete
adjustments primarily related to uncertain tax positions had a favorable impact of 17 and 13 percentage points for March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income tax benefit was $3,109 and $38,984, resulting in effective tax rates of 43% and 98% for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
acquisition of OSI Inc. in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 changed the assessment as to the recoverability of certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets such that they became realizable and, accordingly, a $29,431 tax benefit for the
valuation allowance reversal was included in the six months ended March 31, 2021. The reversal of the valuation allowance for the six months ended Mach 31, 2021 and discrete adjustments related to uncertain tax positions in both periods had a
favorable impact of 20 and 78 percentage points for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
(7) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Certain employees of the Business participate in Emerson stock-based compensation plans, which include performance share and restricted stock units. Compensation
expense is recognized based on Emerson’s cost of the awards under ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation. All awards granted under these stock-based compensation plans are based on Emerson’s common
stock and are not indicative of the results the Business would have experienced as a separate and independent business for the periods presented. Stock-based compensation expense reflected in the Business’s unaudited financial statements was $519
and $459, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and $977 and $918, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(8) RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Business has been charged for costs directly attributable to the
Business and has been allocated a portion of Emerson’s general corporate costs. All of these costs are reflected in the Business’s unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements. Management believes the methodologies and assumptions used to allocate these costs to the Business are reasonable.
Emerson maintains a centralized information technology function for its units. Services provided include application hosting, network support,
network security, messaging, and technology related services. Charges to the Business for these services are based on Emerson’s costs and the Business’s actual usage. Emerson administers a medical insurance program for its employees in the U.S.
that the Business participates in and for which it records the cost of claims incurred each period. The Business participates in other Emerson programs including, but not limited to, workers compensation and general and product liability
insurance. Other Emerson programs are charged to the Business based on cost incurred and usage.
The Business utilizes Emerson global shared service centers that host Business-dedicated resources providing customer facing support, research and
development, and back office financial services. Costs for Business-dedicated resources are directly charged to the Business, most of which relate to employee compensation and benefits, with the remaining portion related to the Business’s share of
facility overhead, allocated based on headcount or space occupied. In addition, general corporate costs incurred by Emerson are allocated to the Business, based on its proportionate share of Emerson’s total consolidated revenue, and include the
cost of support functions such as procurement, logistics, marketing, human resources, legal, finance, internal audit and other Emerson corporate functions.
Allocations and charges from Emerson are as follows:

criteria.
As of March 31, 2022, there were no known contingent liabilities (including guarantees, taxes and other claims) that management believes will be material in relation
to the Business’s unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements, nor were there any material commitments outside the normal course of business.

The Business has evaluated subsequent events through May 27, 2022, which is the date the unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements
were available to be issued.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
On May 16, 2022, stockholders of AspenTech Corporation (formerly Aspen Technology, Inc.) (“AspenTech”) voted to adopt the Transaction Agreement and Plan
of Merger dated October 10, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 23, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of May 3, 2022 (the “Transaction Agreement”) and approve the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the
“Transactions”), including the combination of two of Emerson Electric Co.’s (“Emerson”) industrial software businesses—Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the “Emerson Industrial Software
Business”)—and AspenTech under a new publicly traded company. The Transactions closed on the same day on May 16, 2022 (the “Closing”).
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Emerson contributed $6,014,000,000 in cash to Emersub CX, Inc.
(now Aspen Technology, Inc.), a then-wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson (“New AspenTech”), in exchange for New AspenTech common stock, (ii) EMR Worldwide Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Emerson, contributed the Emerson Industrial Software
Business to New AspenTech in exchange for New AspenTech common stock, (iii) Emersub CXI, Inc., a then-wholly owned subsidiary of New AspenTech, merged with and into AspenTech, with AspenTech being the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of New AspenTech (the “Merger”) and (iv) as a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of AspenTech common stock (subject to certain exceptions) was converted into the right to receive (i) $87.69 in cash (calculated
by dividing $6,014,000,000 by the number of outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock as of the Closing on a fully diluted basis) and (ii) 0.42 shares of New AspenTech common stock. At the Closing, AspenTech changed its name from “Aspen
Technology, Inc.” to “AspenTech Corporation.”
Also at the Closing, New AspenTech changed its registered name with the Secretary of State of Delaware to “Aspen Technology, Inc.” Immediately after the
Closing, Emerson beneficially owned 55% of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock. AspenTech common
stock is now delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is no longer publicly traded. New AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and New
AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with the Emerson Industrial
Software Business considered the accounting acquirer of AspenTech.
