Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Eaton second quarter earnings conference call. [Operator instructions] And as a reminder, today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Yan Jin, senior vice president of investor relations. Please go ahead.
Yan Jin -- Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
Hi, good morning. I'm Yan Jin. Thank you for joining us for Eaton's second quarter 2022 earnings call. With me today are Craig Arnold, our chairman and CEO, and Tom Okray, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Our agenda today include opening remarks by Craig, highlighting the company's performance in the second quarter. As we have done on our past calls, we'll be taking questions at the end of Craig's comments. The press release and the presentation we'll go through today have been posted on our website. This presentation, including adjusted earning per share, adjusted free cash flow and other non-GAAP measures, they're reconciled in the appendix.
A webcast of this call is accessible on our website and will be available for replay. I would like to remind you that our comments today will include statements related to expected future results of the company and are therefore forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from our forecasted projections due to a wide range of risks and uncertainties that are described in our current earnings release and the presentation. With that, I will turn it over to Craig.
Craig Arnold -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
OK. Thanks, Yan. Appreciate it. And we'll start with a summary of the quarter on page three, and I'll begin by noting that we had a strong quarter.
We posted a number of all-time records, led by 11% organic growth. Our performance was particularly strong in our electrical businesses, both in the Americas and global. And as you can see, orders remain strong, and we continue to build record backlogs, supporting the outlook for the year and really, in many cases, I'd say, into next year. And I'd emphasize that nearly all of our end markets remain strong, but we're seeing significant strength in commercial, in industrial and data centers, and residential markets and our electrical businesses.
