Earnings Release and Financial Results Q1 FY 2015: Q1 – Overall performance as expected
First-quarter revenue up 5% to €17.415 billion; on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue up 3%
Orders of €18.013 billion for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.03; 11% decline compared to Q1 FY 2014, which included a €1.6 billion order in Saudi Arabia
Industrial Business profit of €1.819 billion 4% lower due mainly to Power and Gas as expected; Industrial Business profit margin within the expected range
Income from continuing operations of €1.106 billion burdened outside the Industrial Business; furthermore negative swing within discontinued operations affects Net income which was €1.095 billion, with basic earnings per share (EPS) of €1.30
Strong contribution to Free cash flow from Industrial Business
During the first quarter, Siemens classified the hearing aid business as discontinued operations; prior-period results are presented on a comparable basis
Portfolio milestones include closing the acquisition of the Rolls-Royce Energy aero-derivative gas turbine and compressor business in the first quarter; followed, in January 2015, by closing the divestment of the hearing aid business (expected pretax gain: approximately €1.6 billion), closing the divestment of Siemens' stake in BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH) (expected pretax gain: approximately €1.4 billion), and completing the contribution of the metals technologies business into a joint venture; furthermore, we expect a profit impact due to a funding commitment of €0.3 billion related to Unify Holdings B.V. in the second quarter
"The performance of most of our businesses was within our expectations. While some Divisions provided excellent performance, Healthcare needs to step up its efforts to quickly resume to its outstanding performance and Power and Gas will need a more comprehensive concept to return to historical margins longer turn."
