Earnings Release and Financial Results Q2 FY 2019: Successful first half sets up strong fiscal year
Orders grew 6%, to €23.6 billion, and revenue rose 4%, to €20.9 billion, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.13 and record high order backlog of €142 billion
On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, orders increased 4% and revenue was up 2% compared to Q2 FY 2018
Adjusted EBITA for Industrial Business climbed 7% to €2.4 billion, with most businesses increasing their performance; Industrial Business Adjusted EBITA margin reached 11.4%, even with severance charges taking 0.3 percentage points
Net income reached €1.9 billion, near the prior-year level which benefited substantially from a €0.7 billion Adjusted EBITA from Centrally managed portfolio activities; the current period benefited from a lower income tax rate, and basic EPS of €2.24 was burdened by €0.08 from severance charges
"We delivered on our promises again this quarter, and even exceeded expectations in many areas. Now, we enter into a new era to become an even stronger and more focused Siemens."
