- First digital bond on a public blockchain in accordance with Germany’s Electronic Securities Act (eWpG)
- Siemens is a pioneer in the ongoing digital transformation of capital and securities markets
- The bond has a volume of €60 million and maturity of one year
- Bond sold directly to investors
- Classic payment via bank account
Siemens is one of the first
companies in Germany to issue a digital bond, in accordance with Germany’s
Electronic Securities Act (Gesetz über elektronische Wertpapiere, eWpG).
Worth 60 million, it has a maturity of one year and is underpinned by a public
blockchain. Issuing the bond on a blockchain offers a number of benefits
compared to previous processes. For instance, it makes paper-based global
certificates and central clearing unnecessary. What’s more, the bond can be
sold directly to investors without needing a bank to function as an
intermediary.

Siemens started
fiscal 2023 (to December 31, 2022) with a strong performance and maintained its
continuing growth momentum with very good results in Q1. The company leveraged
growth opportunities in its key markets despite a still complex macroeconomic
environment. Following the strong start in fiscal 2023, Siemens raises its
outlook for fiscal 2023. For the Siemens Group, the company now expects
comparable revenue growth, net of currency translation and portfolio effects,
in the range of 7 percent to 10 percent (previously expected at 6 percent to 9 percent)
and continues to expect a book-to-bill ratio above 1. Furthermore, Siemens now
expects this profitable growth of its industrial businesses to drive an
increase in basic EPS from net income before purchase price allocation
accounting (EPS pre PPA) to a range of €8.90 to €9.40 (previously expected at
€8.70 to €9.20) in fiscal 2023.
