We released our our third quarter results for fiscal year 2021 on August 5, 2021. The Conference Call for journalists and the Analyst Call was broadcasted live.
- Orders of €20.5 billion (Q3 2020: €13.9 billion) reflect strong customer orientation and global economic recovery
- Revenue increased substantially to €16.1 billion (Q3 2020: €13.0 billion)
- Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses climbed 29 percent to €2.3 billion
- At 15.3 percent, Adjusted EBITA margin increased again (Q3 2020: 14.3 percent)
- At €1.5 billion, net income nearly tripled (Q3 2020: €535 million)
- Free cash flow of €2.3 billion (Q3 2020: €2.5 billion) again excellent
- Guidance for 2021 raised again – Net income of €6.1 billion to €6.4 billion expected (previous guidance: €5.7 billion to €6.2 billion), including effects in connection with the acquisition of Varian Medical Systems, Inc.
Siemens continued its accelerated high-value growth trajectory across all businesses and regions also in the third quarter. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and negative currency translation effects, Q3 was characterized by outstanding market successes companywide and positive momentum provided by the global economic recovery. Ongoing supply chain challenges associated primarily with electronics components, raw materials and rising raw materials prices were successfully mastered. Compared to Q3 2020, which was noticeably affected by the pandemic, Siemens achieved considerable double-digit growth in orders and revenue and nearly tripled net income. Due to its strong performance in the first nine months, Siemens is again raising its guidance for fiscal 2021 and now expects companywide revenue growth of 11 percent to 12 percent (previous guidance: 9 percent to 11 percent) on a comparable basis – that is, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects – and net income of between €6.1 billion and €6.4 billion (previous guidance: €5.7 billion to €6.2 billion).

- Siemens’ lightning information
service recorded about 399,000 lightning strikes in Germany – 21 percent more
than in 2019
- City of Wolfsburg in Lower Saxony was
Germany’s 2020 “lightning capital”
- Germany’s lowest lightning densities
measured in Coburg, Bamberg and Mainz
- Hamburg was the German state with
the most lightning activity in 2020; Munich topped list of state capitals
- June 13 was the day in 2020 with the
most lightning strikes in Germany – over 89,000
- At the European level, Trieste and the
surrounding areas top the ranking in Siemens’ 2020 lightning atlas
The city of
Wolfsburg in Lower Saxony was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2020. Siemens’
lightning information service BLIDS (which stands for Blitz-Informationsdienst
von Siemens) detected just under 5.8 lightning strikes per square kilometer there
in 2020. The towns of Kempten in the Allgäu region and Miesbach in the region
of Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 5.1 and 4.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. BLIDS recorded the lowest lightning density
in the Bavarian cities of Coburg and Bamberg, where considerably fewer than 0.1
lightning strikes per square kilometer were recorded in each case. Mainz, which
is the capital city of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate was also at the bottom
of the list, recording just under 0.1 lightning discharges per square kilometer.
With a lightning density of just under 2.3, Munich led the country’s list of
state capitals, followed by Hamburg (1.9). With this figure, the Hanseatic City
of Hamburg, which has the status of a federal state, also recorded the highest
lightning density among the German states. The state with the highest number of
ground flashes detected in 2020 was Bavaria, which accounted for a quarter of
all strikes measured. Overall, at 399,000 strikes, BLIDS recorded another
increase in lightning activity in Germany, up around 21 percent compared to 2019.
