Siemens will
exit the Russian market as a result of the Ukraine war. The company has started
proceedings to wind down its industrial operations and all industrial business activities.
The financial impact of this decision will be reported as part of the regular
disclosure on the second quarter results today on May 12, 2022.
- Orders rose 22 percent on a comparable basis to €21.0 billion (Q2 2021: €15.9 billion), with high growth rates at all industrial businesses
- At €17.0 billion, revenue increased 7 percent on a comparable basis (Q2 2021: €14.7 billion)
- Profit Industrial Business was €1.8 billion (Q2 2021: €2.0 billion) – due to impacts totaling €0.6 billion, mainly at Mobility, subsequent to sanctions imposed on Russia
- Net income was €1.2 billion (Q2 2021: €2.4 billion)
- Free cash flow for the Siemens Group increased to €1.3 billion and was thus even stronger than in the prior-year quarter (Q2 2021: €1.2 billion)
- Orderly wind down of industrial business activities initiated in order to exit the Russian market
Siemens continued
its growth path as a focused technology company also in Q2 (ended March 31,
2022). In Q2, the company leveraged increased growth opportunities in many key markets
despite a continuing complex macroeconomic environment and confirms its outlook
for the Siemens Group for the current fiscal year 2022. The impact on
profit in Q2 subsequent to sanctions imposed on Russia totaled €0.6 billion due
to impairments and other charges, mainly at Mobility. Siemens also initiated an orderly
wind down of its industrial business activities in order to exit the Russian
market.

- Depot to be expanded to 87,550 m²
- New capacity for meeting growing demand
- 100% system availability thanks to digitalized depot operation
- Creation of attractive jobs in the region
- Up to 250 employees at the location in 2026
Siemens Mobility is investing approximately €150 million to expand its service depot in
Dortmund-Eving to 87,550 m² to meet the growing demand for rail services.
Plans call for constructing an additional 12,300 m² service hall
with storage facility, offices, and workshops to handle the maintenance of
trains up to 400 meters long. Construction
of the new building is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed by 2026. The
Siemens Mobility depot in Dortmund previously had a total area of
70,000 m² and will cover 157,550 m² when the project is

- World premiere: Existing GoA4 line upgraded to
latest generation CBTC driverless automation system to boost capacity, reliability,
and efficiency for Paris metro operator RATP on behalf of Île-de-France
Mobilités
- Upgraded
line enables driverless automated train operation along the route doubled
in length, now also connecting Orly Airport to central Paris
- Line
remained in operations throughout the project that will serve one million
passengers daily by 2025
Siemens Mobility and RATP (Régie
autonome des transports Parisiens) have successfully modernized and extended the
automated Line 14 of the Paris metro. This world premiere marks the first
migration of an automated driverless (GoA4 – Grade of Automation) metro line to
the latest generation GoA4 driverless automated system “Trainguard MT CBTC”. The
new system, which was implemented during the past six years during passenger
services, enables more efficient and reliable services on the line that has
doubled in length by 14 kilometers due to extensions to the North and South.
With a remarkable headway of 85 seconds along its entire 28 km route, Line 14
is now the longest line in the Paris network and will eventually accommodate
over one million passengers daily. The expansion enables passengers to travel
from Orly Airport to Paris city center in 20 minutes and from the northern business
districts in Saint-Denis Pleyel to Orly Airport in just 40 minutes. With its
improved capacity, reliability, and efficiency, Line 14 serves as the backbone
of Paris' public transportation system, connecting to the future Grand Paris
Express network. Over six years, more than 250 Siemens Mobility engineers
contributed to this project, with over 500,000 hours of engineering.
