to help make company carbon neutral by 2030

- Under the EV100 initiative,
Siemens wants to have a fully electric fleet by 2030
In January 2022, Siemens
will introduce a new model for the company cars used by its executive-level
employees. Currently in the pilot phase, the new model is to be implemented
Germany-wide by the beginning of next year. The goal is to provide employees
with greater access to cars with ecofriendly drive systems and thus give them
an additional incentive to use electric vehicles. Siemens’ fleet organization
will also be more flexible and sustainable since employees will be able choose the
type of electric vehicle they want at any time based on their requirements. This
spring, the company joined the Climate Group’s EV100 initiative and thus set a
target of transitioning its global fleet to 100 percent electric mobility
by 2030.

- Unlocking digital model data along the product lifecycle for drive systems
- Accessing CAD data in web, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
-
- Combining IIoT with visual computing for design collaboration and troubleshooting
Drive systems are core assets in industrial processes. Key aspects of the structural design and functionality are reflected in digital twins. Visualizing digital model data along the product lifecycle of a drive system is key in operational tasks from collaboration in design to remote service or troubleshooting. Moreover, the introduction of augmented reality and virtual reality in the industrial domain yields the potential to become a productivity driver for the human interaction with data.
- Siemens
Caring Hands to make 100 oxygen concentrators available to medical institutions
in India through Caritas international
- Concentrators to be delivered to hospitals in Bengaluru, Goa and
Chennai
- Donations from Siemens to be used to provide further medical
equipment, hygiene kits, masks and food to affected families
The Siemens Caring Hands e.V. charity is
making a long-term contribution toward fighting the pandemic in India and is providing
100 oxygen concentrators to hospitals in Bengaluru, Goa and Chennai. The
concentrators are to be delivered by mid‑June 2021 to facilitate the
treatment of COVID-19 patients. India is one of the countries hardest hit by
the corona crisis. The World Health Organization estimates that about 29
million people have contracted COVID-19 in India since the pandemic began and that
about 350,000 of them have died.
At FC Bayern
Munich’s season finale against FC Augsburg on May 22, Siemens, FC Bayern and
the #WeKickCorona initiative launched a donation campaign with the slogan: #HeartBeatFinal.
The Bayern fans were asked to measure their heartrate during the match using activity
trackers – and make the data available for #FCBayernPulse, a Siemens and FC Bayern
project. Siemens will donate €0.01 per measured heartbeat to #WeKickCorona, an
initiative that supports social institutions. 936,318 heartbeats were measured
during Bayern’s 5-2 win. Siemens will duplicate the achieved donation amount of
€9.363,18 to €18.800.
- Siemens to acquire Supplyframe, a leading and fast-growing
marketplace for the global electronics value chain
- Combining Supplyframe’s knowhow with Siemens’ leading software
enables customers to innovate and develop products faster
- Supplyframe to be the nucleus of Siemens’ digital marketplace
strategy
- Closing of transaction expected in fourth quarter of fiscal year
2021
Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire
Supplyframe, a leading Design-to-Source platform for the global electronics
value chain, for USD 0.7 billion. The transaction unlocks significant value for
customers of Supplyframe and Siemens, providing seamless and quick access to
both Siemens’ offerings and Supplyframe’s marketplace intelligence. This will
help customers to reduce costs, increase agility and make highly informed
decisions. The acquisition also strengthens the Siemens portfolio through
Software as a Service (SaaS) – not only in the field of Electronic Design
Automation (EDA) and Printed Circuit Boards (PCB), but also scaling into other
domains and technology fields.
We released our second quarter results for fiscal 2021 on May 7, 2021. The conference call for journalists and the analyst was broadcasted live.
- Strong and profitable growth companywide
- Adjusted EBITA margin rose to 15.1 percent (Q2 2020: 12.1 percent), Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses soared 31 percent to €2.1 billion
- Revenue increased sharply to €14.7 billion (Q2 2020: €13.8 billion), with orders strong at €15.9 billion (Q2 2020: €14.7 billion)
- Net income more than tripled to €2.4 billion (Q2 2020: €697 million)
- Successful portfolio management: one-time gain of about €0.9 billion on sale of Flender GmbH

- Guidance for 2021 raised again – expected net income of €5.7 billion to €6.2 billion, excluding effects in connection with the acquisition of Varian Medical Systems Inc.
With an excellent second quarter, Siemens AG followed on seamlessly from its successful start to the fiscal year. Despite a persistently challenging macroeconomic environment, influenced among other things by the COVID-19 pandemic, and negative currency translation effects, development across all company business areas continued to be positive. In line with these results, Siemens is again raising its guidance for fiscal 2021 and now expects companywide revenue growth of 9 percent to 11 percent on a comparable basis (previous forecast: mid- to high-single-digit growth) and net income of between €5.7 billion and €6.2 billion (previous forecast: €5.0 billion to €5.5 billion).
