Earnings Release and Financial Results Q1 FY 2016: Strong start into the fiscal year – earnings outlook raised
Major contract wins in Europe and Africa drive first-quarter orders up 27% year-over-year, at €22.8 billion; revenue 8% higher at €18.9 billion, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.21
Excluding currency translation effects, orders 22% higher and revenue up 4%
Industrial Business profit climbs 10% year-over-year, to €2.0 billion, including margin expansion; strong increases in Healthcare, Energy Management and Mobility more than offset declines in Digital Factory, Process Industries and Drives and Wind Power and Renewables
Net income of €1.6 billion, up 42% from the prior-year quarter which was burdened by factors outside the Industrial Business; basic earnings per share (EPS) of €1.89 compared to €1.30 in Q1 FY 2015
We raise our previous expectation for basic EPS from net income in the range of €5.90 to €6.20 to the range of €6.00 to €6.40
"We delivered a strong quarter and are well underway in executing our Vision 2020. Therefore, we will raise our earnings outlook for 2016, even though the macroeconomic and geopolitical developments remain a concern for our markets. We continue to focus on addressing our structural challenges in the company and invest into further developing our markets and strengthening our innovation power."
