DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Power management company Eaton Corporation plc (NYSE:ETN) today announced that earnings per share were $1.57 for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding income of $0.13 per share related to acquisitions and divestitures and charges of $0.25 per share related to intangible amortization and $0.06 per share related to a multi-year restructuring program, adjusted earnings per share were an all-time record of $1.75, up 30% over the third quarter of 2020.

Sales in the third quarter of 2021 were $4.9 billion, up 9% from the third quarter of 2020. The sales increase consisted of 8% growth in organic sales, 7% growth from acquisitions, and 1% from positive currency translation, which was partially offset by 7% from the divestiture of the Hydraulics business that was completed on August 2.

Craig Arnold, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer, said, “We had a record third quarter, driven by strong operational performance despite supply constraints that impacted our organic sales growth. Still, we saw encouraging signs, including robust order growth of 17% on a rolling 12-month basis and record backlogs up more than 50% in our combined Electrical Americas and Electrical Global segments. Our segment margins in the third quarter were 19.9%, an all-time record and above the high end of our guidance. This represents a 230-basis point improvement over the third quarter of 2020.”

Operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2021 was $471 million. Excluding $279 million of taxes paid on the Hydraulics sale, adjusted operating cash flow was $750 million and adjusted free cash flow was $610 million.

For full year 2021, the company now expects organic growth of 9-11%, compared to a previous estimate of 11-13%, due to supply constraints that are expected to continue into the fourth quarter. For the fourth quarter of 2021, the company anticipates adjusted earnings per share to be between $1.68 and $1.78.

Sales for the Electrical Americas segment were $1.9 billion, up 9% from the third quarter of 2020. Organic sales were up 1% and the acquisition of Tripp Lite added 8%.

Operating margins of 21.7% were down 50 basis points from the third quarter of 2020, driven by commodity and logistics pressures.

EATON CORPORATION plc
NOTES TO THE THIRD QUARTER 2021 EARNINGS RELEASE

Amounts are in millions of dollars unless indicated otherwise (per share data assume dilution).

Note 1. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These financial measures include adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per ordinary share, adjusted operating cash flow, and adjusted free cash flow, each of 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 release. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company revised its definition of adjusted earnings to exclude intangible asset amortization expense and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to apply this change. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to investors because they exclude certain transactions, allowing 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.

The Company's fourth quarter adjusted earnings results for 2020 and guidance for 2021 follows:
