Electrical Equipment Global Organic Customer Order Growth tracks the trailing 12-month change in firm customer orders on Eaton's organic basis.

Eaton reported 6% organic customer order growth for Electrical Global for 2025.

Why it matters

The measure shows whether new committed demand is expanding before it becomes backlog conversion or reported sales. Pairing it with book-to-bill and backlog growth gives a more complete picture of order momentum.

Investor caution

The metric is a trailing 12-month issuer-defined measure. Eaton excludes foreign currency effects, divestitures, and firm orders already in place before an acquisition, so it is not interchangeable with reported bookings growth.

Part of the Electrical Equipment Operating Economics

Connect segment sales and operating margins with firm customer orders, backlog growth, and book-to-bill to understand electrical-equipment demand and profitability.

How the model fits together
  • Segment scale and profitability: Electrical Americas and Electrical Global sales establish segment scale, while Eaton's segment operating margins show issuer-defined profitability. The segment boundaries and operating measures are not standardized across electrical-equipment peers.
  • Orders into backlog: Organic customer order growth measures the trailing 12-month change in firm orders, while organic backlog growth measures the change in the accumulated committed order book after Eaton's specified currency and portfolio adjustments. The two measures describe demand flow and backlog stock rather than interchangeable growth rates.
  • Book-to-bill and backlog visibility: Book-to-bill compares firm customer orders with net sales over Eaton's last four quarters, while backlog is the balance of firmly committed orders not yet recognized as sales. A ratio above 1.0 can support backlog growth, but neither measure guarantees future revenue or a specific conversion schedule.
