Siemens once again delivered an outstanding performance in fiscal 2022 (as of September 30, 2022). Based on strong growth momentum, all four industrial businesses recorded increases in order intake and revenue. In some cases, these increases were significant. Despite a continuing complex macroeconomic environment influenced, among other things, by economic sanctions on Russia, high inflation and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Siemens grew again in all key markets. In addition, major interruptions in fiscal 2022 could be avoided despite supply chain risks in the areas of electronic components, raw materials and logistics.
