MILWAUKEE (July 28, 2011) — Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) today reported record quarterly
results, setting new highs for sales, earnings per share from continuing operations and return on
invested capital. Fiscal 2011 third quarter sales were $1,516.2 million, up 20 percent from
$1,268.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Currency translation contributed 6
percentage points to the increase. Fiscal 2011 third quarter sales were up 4 percent sequentially
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Income from continuing operations increased 50
percent to $178.8 million ($1.22 per share) compared to $119.4 million ($0.83 per share) a year
ago. Net income was $179.5 million ($1.23 per share).

Total segment operating earnings were $263.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, up from
$198.0 million in the same period of 2010. Total segment operating margin increased to 17.4
percent from 15.6 percent a year ago.
Free cash flow was $193.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Return on invested capital
was 29.3 percent.
Organic sales, total segment operating earnings, total segment operating margin, free cash flow and
return on invested capital are non-GAAP measures that are reconciled to GAAP measures in the
attachments to this release.
Commenting on the results, Keith D. Nosbusch, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “I am
very pleased with the record results for the company in the third quarter. We have capitalized on
the ongoing economic recovery by effectively executing our strategy. Architecture & Software had a
great quarter with Logix growth of over 25 percent and its highest segment margin since the third
quarter of fiscal 2007. Total company operating margin continued to improve, reaching 17.4 percent
in the quarter. We closed two acquisitions in the quarter, announced a 21 percent dividend
increase, and stepped up our share repurchases. We are on track for an excellent year for the
company and for our shareowners.”

Outlook
Commenting on the outlook, Nosbusch added, “Given our strong year-to-date results and an increased
tailwind from currency, we are increasing our sales outlook for the full fiscal year to
approximately $5.9 billion. Based on this sales outlook, we are raising fiscal 2011 earnings per
share guidance to $4.55 to $4.65. A result in this range would represent an approximately 50
percent increase over last year and record annual earnings per share.”
Following is a discussion of third quarter results for both segments.
Architecture & Software
Architecture & Software fiscal 2011 third quarter sales were $672.9 million, an increase of 21 percent from $553.9 million last year. Currency translation contributed 6 percentage points to the increase. Fiscal 2011 third quarter sales were up 8 percent sequentially compared to $624.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Segment operating earnings were $175.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to $125.4 million in 2010. Segment operating margin was 26.1 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to 22.6 percent a year ago primarily due to volume leverage, partially offset by spending to support growth.

Organic Sales
Our press release contains information regarding sales excluding the effect of changes in currency
and organic sales, which we define as sales excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange
rates and acquisitions. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors
because they reflect regional performance from our activities without the effect of changes in
currency exchange rates and/or acquisitions. We use organic sales and sales excluding the effect
of changes in currency as two measures to monitor and evaluate our regional performance. We
determine the effect of changes in currency exchange rates by translating the respective period’s
sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior year. When we acquire
businesses, we exclude sales in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the
prior period. Organic sales growth is calculated by comparing organic sales to reported sales in
the prior year. Sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of
destination.
The following is a reconciliation of reported sales to organic sales for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2011 compared to sales for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010:

Free Cash Flow
Our definition of free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, takes into consideration
capital investments required to maintain the operations of our businesses and execute our strategy.
We account for share-based compensation under U.S. GAAP, which requires that we report the excess
income tax benefit from share-based compensation as a financing cash flow rather than as an
operating cash flow. We have added this benefit back to our calculation of free cash flow in order
to generally classify cash flows arising from income taxes as operating cash flows.
In our opinion, free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to
generate cash from business operations that is available for acquisitions and other investments,
service of debt principal, dividends and share repurchases. We use free cash flow, as defined, as
one measure to monitor and evaluate performance. Our definition of free cash flow may be different
from definitions used by other companies.
The following table summarizes free cash flow by quarter:

Return On Invested Capital
Our press release contains information regarding Return On Invested Capital (ROIC), which is a
non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that ROIC is useful to investors as a measure of
performance and of the effectiveness of the use of capital in our operations. We use ROIC as one
measure to monitor and evaluate performance. Our measure of ROIC may be different from that used
by other companies. We define ROIC as the percentage resulting from the following calculation:
(a) Income from continuing operations, before interest expense, income tax provision, and
purchase accounting depreciation and amortization, divided by;
(b) average invested capital for the year, calculated as a five quarter rolling average using
the sum of short-term debt, long-term debt, shareowners’ equity, and accumulated amortization
of goodwill and other intangible assets, minus cash and cash equivalents, multiplied by;
| (c) | one minus the effective tax rate for the period. |
ROIC is calculated as follows:
