EMERSON COMMODITY HEDGING LIMITATIONS • Limit direct material hedging to 14 months (vs. two years currently). • Should allow time to adjust pricing as necessary. • Continue to follow the band strategy for direct material hedges: • Hedge 20 – 90% of exposures for up to 14 months. • Hedging range driven by timing of next expected price increase and the risk of price rollbacks if commodity prices fall. • Exposure related to annual price agreement can be hedged at time of agreement.
