The quarterly figures are in
Siemens with significant profit increase
Strong sales, very good order intake and a profit of €1.8 billion - this is how the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 can be summarized for Siemens.
Siemens will publish its figures for the first quarter of the current fiscal year at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on February 10. After a very successful fiscal year 2021 with a profit of €6.7 billion, the Group has made a positive start to the new year: Order intake increased by 42% to €24.2 billion on a comparable basis compared to the same period last year. Compared to Q1/2021, the Group was able to increase turnover by 9% to EUR 16.5 billion. This increase is primarily due to the high growth rates in all industrial businesses: Earnings there increased by 12 percent to EUR 2.5 billion; the earnings margin here was 15.7 percent after 16.5 percent in the same quarter of the previous year. Profit after tax amounted to EUR 1.8 billion, which corresponds to growth of 20% compared to the same quarter of the previous year. At EUR 1.1 billion, free cash flow is also stronger than in Q1/2022 (EUR 1.0 billion).
On Wednesday evening, February 9, there were initial reports that Siemens was selling its parcel and mail business(materialfluss reported) and divesting its share in the electric car joint venture with Valeo. Valeo is taking over the partner's share in the joint venture. Siemens expects this to have a positive effect on earnings of €300 million in the current second fiscal quarter. In addition, Siemens had already announced in January that it was selling the road traffic technology unit Yunex Traffic to Atlantia.
