Rockwell Automation (ROK) 10-K risk factor changes: FY2026 vs FY2025

Our ERM process assesses, manages, and monitors risks consistent with the integrated risk framework [removed: in the *Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework (2017)*] issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission [removed: (COSO).][added: (COSO) in the *Enterprise Risk Management - Integrated Framework (2017)* and *Applying the COSO ERM Framework (2020)*.]

In addition, our ability to recover cost increases and maintain profitability levels through price adjustments may be limited by competitive pressures, customer acceptance, and contractual [removed: limitations.][added: limitations, including when price increases lag underlying cost increases.]

Our business requires that we buy [removed: equipment,] [added: equipment and] components, [removed: services] including finished products, electronic components, [added: commodities,] and [removed: commodities.][added: services.]

Past global cyber-attacks have also been perpetuated by compromising software [added: and firmware] updates in widely used [removed: software] products, posing the risk that vulnerabilities or malicious content could be inserted into our products.

In some cases, [added: especially if the mitigation measures are not implemented,] it is possible that malware attacks could spread throughout the supply chain, moving from one company to the next via authorized network connections.

We have [added: also] designed a Secure Development Lifecycle Program that incorporates [removed: appropriate] security activities into the [removed: necessary] development and support practices for our commercial product offerings.

While we continue to improve the security attributes of our commercial product offerings, we can reduce [removed: risk,] [added: risk] but not eliminate it.

Also, our partners and vendors frequently have access to our [removed: confidential] information as well as confidential information about our customers, employees, and others.

As we broaden the [removed: application] [added: adoption] of AI across product development, manufacturing, customer operations, and enterprise operations, we face evolving risks related to safety, data governance, regulatory compliance, intellectual property, and ethical use.

[removed: We] [added: In 2025, we announced our] plan to invest over $2 billion over the [removed: next] [added: following] five years in manufacturing facilities, digital infrastructure, and talent to support market share growth, operational resilience, and margin expansion.

As part of our strategy, we pursue strategic transactions, including acquisitions, [removed: joint ventures,] investments, and other business opportunities and purchases of technology from third parties.

In order to be successful, we must identify attractive transaction opportunities, effectively complete the transaction, and manage post-closing matters, such as integration of the acquired business or technology (including related personnel) and cooperation with our [removed: joint venture and other] strategic partners.

- difficulties maintaining relationships with our [removed: joint venture and other] strategic partners (including as a result of such [removed: joint venture and other] strategic partners having differing business objectives) and managing disputes with such [removed: joint venture and other] strategic partners that may arise in connection with our relationships with them; and

We are increasingly required to comply with various environmental and other [removed: material, product, certification,] [added: material] and [added: product certification and] labeling laws and regulations (including the [removed: emerging] European Union Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation).

Compliance with [added: digital data,] privacy and cybersecurity laws and regulations (including the [removed: emerging] European [removed: Union] [added: Union’s] Cyber Resiliency [removed: Act)] [added: Act, Digital Data Act, and Machinery Regulation)] could increase our operating costs in managing product compliance [added: (including potentially facing more rigorous design requirements)] and as part of our efforts to protect and safeguard our sensitive data, personal information, and IT infrastructure.

As global standards and regulations relating to AI increase and change, it could result in additional costs, reputational harm, legal liability, and regulatory scrutiny related to our use of [removed: AI.][added: AI, including embedded in our products and services.]

Earlier in 2026, U.S. government agencies issued a joint cybersecurity advisory warning of active exploitation by Iranian-affiliated threat actors of internet-facing operational technology (OT) devices, including programmable logic controllers, across multiple U.S. critical infrastructure sectors.

According to this advisory, threat actors have successfully accessed and manipulated some customers’ industrial control systems by leveraging legitimate engineering software and targeting unsecured customer network connections, resulting in operational disruption, unauthorized modification of control logic, and manipulation of human machine interface and supervisory control and data acquisition displays.

The advisory’s scope was subsequently expanded to indicate that this activity has continued and expanded to include additional OT products and other vendors due to widespread deployment of industrial automation technologies.

As part of our product security program, we periodically publish product security advisories with recommended mitigation measures; however, customer adoption of those mitigation measures is outside of our control.

While we believe that threat actors’ successful access to and manipulation of some of our customer-owned industrial control systems would not have a material impact on our company, we cannot not rule out reputational harm or an adverse effect to our financial condition.

Our effective tax rate may fluctuate.

Our effective tax rate, tax expense, and tax liabilities may be affected by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances; changes in the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes generated in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates; changes in financial accounting rules for income taxes; and tax effects of acquisitions.

In October 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and G20 Finance Ministers reached an agreement, known as Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two, that, among other things, ensures that income earned in each jurisdiction that qualifying multinational enterprises operate in is subject to a minimum corporate income tax rate of at least 15 percent.

Discussions related to the formal implementation and enactment of this agreement, including within the tax law of each member jurisdiction including the United States, are ongoing.

Certain countries have enacted the Pillar Two framework, including Singapore, which is expected to result in the greatest impact to the Company.

Enactment of this regulation in its current form would generally apply to the Company beginning in fiscal year 2026, resulting in an increase in our effective tax rate as well as in the amount of global corporate income tax paid.

The following discussion includes organic sales, [removed: total segment] [added: Enterprise] operating [removed: earnings and] [added: profit, Enterprise operating] margin, Adjusted Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP measures.

See Summary of Results of Operations for a reconciliation of Income before income taxes [added: and pre-tax margin] to [removed: total segment] [added: Enterprise] operating [removed: earnings] [added: profit] and [added: Enterprise operating] margin and a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors.

Our long-term profitable growth [removed: framework] [added: framework, supported by the Rockwell operating model,] outlines how we will deliver accelerated growth while we continue to transform our company to meet stakeholder expectations over the longer term:

- [removed: continue double-digit] [added: add 1% average annual] growth [removed: in] [added: from] annual recurring revenue;

Our [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] Sustainability Report highlights our sustainability strategy and outcomes.

Approximately [removed: 65] [added: 70] percent of our global sales are transacted through independent distributors.

Sales to our [removed: two] [added: three] largest distributors [removed: in 2025, 2024, and 2023, which are attributable to all three segments,] were approximately [removed: 20] [added: 30] percent of our total [removed: sales.][added: sales in 2026.]

In fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] we achieved [removed: 0.24] [added: 0.21] recordable cases per 100 employees.

The latest survey, conducted in March [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] showed a resilient EEI of [removed: 70] [added: 75,] and a global inclusion index score of [removed: 74.][added: 77, and our intent to stay index was 74, with all three scores at or above our industry benchmarks.]

In fiscal [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] the majority of our employees completed one or more of our training programs representing approximately one million learning hours.

[removed: During fiscal 2025, we saw] [added: We have] strong participation in our Hybrid Workplace Program, which combines the values of both physical workspaces and virtual work options, both of which are important for attracting, retaining, and developing employees and facilitating innovation, engagement, and productivity.

For non-manufacturing roles, we [removed: generally] experienced [removed: flat] [added: lower] attrition rates in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

For manufacturing roles, we experienced a significant reduction in attrition rates in fiscal [removed: 2025] [added: 2026] as compared to fiscal [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]

We believe these rates are favorable to market trends experienced broadly across labor markets in fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]

At September 30, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] our employees, including those employed by consolidated subsidiaries, by region were approximately:

| Europe, Middle East and Africa | | | [removed: 5,000] [added: 6,000] | | |

In [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] sales in the U.S. accounted for over half of our total sales.

The table below depicts the trends in these indicators from fiscal [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] to [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]

These figures are as of November 12, [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] and are subject to revision by the issuing organizations.

In [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] sales to customers outside the U.S. accounted for less than half of our total sales.

In addition to the global factors previously mentioned in the [removed: Overview] [added: Overview] section, international demand, particularly in emerging markets, has historically been driven by the strength of the industrial economy in each region, investments in infrastructure, and expanding consumer markets.

Industrial [removed: production] [added: output] outside the U.S. was [removed: mixed] [added: mostly positive] in the fourth quarter of fiscal [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]

We continue to manage the impact of tariffs through [removed: actions including] pricing and [added: other supply chain actions, including] the use of alternative sources of materials and redundant manufacturing locations.

[removed: Resiliency] [added: Supply chain resiliency] actions [removed: we took] [added: taken] in recent years enable us to [removed: build] [added: manufacture] certain [removed: high value] [added: high-value] product lines in [removed: more than one] [added: multiple] geographic [removed: location.][added: locations.]

Manufacturing PMI results increased during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, reaching the highest level in over four years.

| September 2026 | | | | | | 98.4 | | | | | | 54.5 | | |

| June 2026 | | | | | | 98.3 | | | | | | 53.3 | | |

| March 2026 | | | | | | 97.4 | | | | | | 52.7 | | |

| December 2025 | | | | | | 96.2 | | | | | | 47.9 | | |

| March 2025 | | | | | | 96.8 | | | | | | 48.9 | | |

The Producer Price Index increased to 6.3 percent as of September 2026, the largest 12-month increase since December 2022.

Manufacturing PMI readings outside the U.S were mostly positive as well, with many countries across all regions reporting above 50 in September.

We expect continued pressures related to inflation, geopolitical tensions, and the availability of certain materials and components, driven in part by strong market demand for data centers.

Inflationary pressures and geopolitical volatility could adversely impact our costs, particularly with respect to electronic components, commodities, energy, and freight.

In addition, strong market demand, including for data centers, could contribute to shortages of certain materials and components, which could constrain our ability to manufacture products and adversely affect product availability.

We continue to manage these risks through pricing and supply chain resiliency actions.

We continue to expect these actions to mostly offset tariff-related costs, although the dynamic tariff environment could affect our ability to fully recover these costs.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were not authorized.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we filed refund claims for the majority of our IEEPA tariffs paid which were subsequently approved and paid by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

We recognize a refund when realizable in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies.

In September 2026, we approved and communicated a refund program for customers who paid price increases on purchases of products that were impacted by IEEPA tariffs.

The customer tariff refund program will be completed in 2027.

In 2026, we announced plans to build a new greenfield manufacturing site in New Berlin, Wisconsin.

The facility is expected to be the Company’s largest manufacturing campus globally, with a significant footprint and the flexibility to scale operations.

Additionally, in January we completed the purchase of our Mequon, Wisconsin facility, which we had previously leased and continue to use for engineering and development and manufacturing.

These projects are aligned with the previously announced $2 billion investment in plants, digital infrastructure, and talent to grow share, build resilience, and expand margins.

2026 Compared to 2025

On April 1, the Company completed the dissolution of the Sensia joint venture, which included divestiture of certain businesses to the joint venture partner.

Prior period reported sales have been adjusted to calculate organic sales.

Divestitures decreased sales by 2 percent and currency translation increased sales by 2 percent.

Reported and Organic Sales were reduced by 1 percent as a result of the customer tariff refund program.

(1) The September 2025 Manufacturing IP Index has not been published as of November 12, 2025.

The Manufacturing IP Index was 100.3 for the month ended August 2025.

September 2025 PPI has not been published as of November 12, 2025.

Through August 2025, PPI growth did not significantly change from the third quarter of 2025.

After observing double-digit PPI growth through most of 2022, we have now observed PPI growth in the low single digits for the last nine quarters.

Producer prices remain elevated, however, year over year increases remain decelerated from the surges in 2023 and 2022.

Manufacturing PMI readings outside the U.S were also mixed with readings in Asia Pacific generally better than readings in Europe, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.

In consideration of these mitigating actions, tariff costs are expected to be neutral to EPS in fiscal 2026.

*Purchase Accounting Depreciation and Amortization, and Impairment*

Purchase accounting depreciation and amortization, and impairment expense was $365 million in fiscal 2025 compared to $144 million in fiscal 2024.

The fair value of our foreign currency forward exchange contracts is an asset of [removed: $8] [added: $18] million and a liability of [removed: $23] [added: $16] million at September 30, [removed: 2025.][added: 2026.]

For assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than a location’s functional currency without offsetting foreign currency forward exchange contracts, a 10 percent adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates would reduce our pre-tax income by approximately [removed: $35] [added: $53] million.

During [removed: 2025,] [added: 2025 and 2026,] we entered into cross-currency swaps in order to manage foreign currency translation risk of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries.

A hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in the cross-currency swaps’ underlying spot rates would result in an additional cash outflow at maturity of [removed: $80] [added: $85] million.

There was no impact on earnings due to ineffective hedges in [added: 2026,] 2025, [removed: 2024,] or [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]

In December 2025, the credit line matured and was closed.

The outstanding debt was settled with loans from the joint venture partners.

Upon dissolution of the Sensia joint venture, interest-bearing loans from SLB to Sensia were assumed by SLB.

Refer to Note 1 for additional details on the dissolution.

In April 2025, $14 million of new interest-bearing loans from SLB to Sensia were entered into, and in October 2025, these loans were extended to January 15, 2026.

The loans outstanding as of September 30, 2024, were extended to October 15, 2026, and are included in Long-term debt as of September 30, 2025.

*Dissolution of the Sensia Joint Venture*

The decision by the joint venture partners was a triggering event that resulted in goodwill and intangible assets pre-tax, non-cash impairment charges of $161 million and $63 million, respectively, during the year ended September 30, 2025.

Remaining identifiable intangible asset balance for Sensia was $58 million as of September 30, 2025.

The Sensia joint venture had historically been included in the Lifecycle Services reportable segment.

The dissolution of the Sensia joint venture was completed April 1, 2026.

Upon the dissolution, the businesses contributed to the joint venture were distributed back to the respective joint venture partners at fair value and resulted in a $40 million cash payment from the joint venture partner to Rockwell Automation.

Additionally, a payment will be made to account for the proportional distribution of the book value of working capital assets distributed to each joint venture partner at closing.

As a result of closing the transaction, we derecognized net assets of $94 million, primarily consisting of (i) cash and cash equivalents of $47 million, (ii) receivables of $60 million, (iii) inventories of $54 million, (iv) other intangible assets of $56 million, (v) short-term debt of $89 million, and (vi) contract liabilities of $20 million.

We recognized a pre-tax gain on the dissolution of Sensia of $15 million, which was recorded in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

We incurred $11 million of transaction costs during 2026, which were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Cost of sales includes material, labor and overhead costs directly attributable to (i) specific units of inventory produced, (ii) the delivery of specific services, or (iii) the fulfillment of current customer contracts.

Engineering and development costs include research and development (R&D) and other engineering activities including routine enhancements or improvements to existing products, production lines, manufacturing processes and other ongoing operations that are not directly related to revenue generating customer contracts.

See Basis of Presentation subsection above for more information on Engineering and development.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for tax loss and credit carryforwards.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We establish valuation allowances when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

At each balance sheet date, we review current asbestos payment and settlement activity, including asbestos-related defense costs, to determine whether our current accrual continues to be appropriate.

Additionally, on an annual basis, we engage our third-party actuarial firm to assess whether there are new facts or trends impacting the accuracy of the actuarial valuation used to determine our current accrual.

With the assistance of our third-party actuarial firm, we determined there have been no material changes to the assumptions used in our most recent actuarial analysis.

*IEEPA Tariff Refund Claims and Related Customer Tariff Refund Program*

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were not authorized.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we filed refund claims for the majority of our IEEPA tariffs paid which were subsequently approved and paid by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

We recognized $103 million of approved refunds as a reduction to cost of sales and $5 million of interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2026.

We recognize a refund when realizable in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies.

In September 2026, we approved and communicated a refund program for customers who paid price increases on purchases of products that were impacted by IEEPA tariffs.

We estimated the expected value of tariff refunds to be issued to customers under the refund program and recognized an accrual of $85 million as a reduction of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2026.

The customer tariff refund program will be completed in 2027.

Certain prior-year amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations have been reclassified to Engineering and development to conform to the current-year presentation, which we believe enhances transparency and provides a clearer view of overall business performance.

This revised presentation also aligns more closely with the reporting practices of our industry peers, facilitating improved comparability for stakeholders.

These reclassifications had no impact on net income, earnings per share, cash flows, segment operating earnings, or the financial position of the Company.

For the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the reclassifications resulted in a decrease to Cost of sales in the amounts of $679 million, $658 million, and $706 million, respectively.

Actual results and forecasts of revenue growth and margins for the Sensia reporting unit may be impacted by its concentration within the Oil & Gas industry and with its customer base.

Demand for Sensia hardware and software products, solutions, and services is sensitive to industry volatility and risks, including those related to commodity prices, supply and demand dynamics, production costs, geological activity, and political activities.

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that requires companies to apply Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 405-50 to disclose supplier finance program obligations.

We adopted the new standard as of October 1, 2023.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, which requires expanded interim and annual disclosures of segment information regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), the title and position of the CODM, an explanation of how the CODM uses the information in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition.

We will expand our disclosures in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K when the standard becomes effective for us.

We sell large systems and service offerings principally through our direct sales force, though opportunities are sometimes identified through distributors.

*2025 Impairment Assessment*

This decision to dissolve resulted in downward revisions to growth and profitability projections.

The decision by the joint partners to pursue dissolution of the joint venture is a triggering event for impairment testing.

For the Sensia reporting unit identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization within the Lifecycle Services operating segment, we believed these changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025 would indicate a potential impairment.

The estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the reporting unit were less than the carrying value; therefore, we determined the fair value for Sensia identifiable intangible assets as of September 30, 2025.

We engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist with the fair value determination of the identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, using a multi-period excess earnings model.

We compared the fair value of $58 million to the carrying value, which resulted in a pre-tax, non-cash intangible asset impairment charge of $63 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
