Siemens AG has successfully completed the succession process for its top management. As long planned, Roland Busch (56) has succeeded long-serving President and CEO Joe Kaeser (63) as head of the Munich-based technology company. At the company’s virtual Annual Shareholders’ Meeting today, shareholders also confirmed, by a large majority, Supervisory Board Chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe (55) for another four-year term of office. In addition, shareholders elected Grazia Vittadini (51), Chief Technology Officer of Airbus and member of the Airbus Executive Committee, and Kasper Rørsted (58), CEO of adidas AG, first-time Supervisory Board members, likewise by large majorities. Their terms of office will run for four years. The total number of people following the virtual meeting, at which a total of around 350 questions were asked, peaked at 7,100.
- Revenue increased in first quarter to €14.1 billion, orders surged to €15.9 billion
- Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses jumped 39 percent year-over-year to €2.1 billion and adjusted EBITA margin to 16.0 percent
(Q1 2020: 11.7 percent)
- Net income rose substantially to €1.5 billion (Q1 2020: €1.1 billion)
- Free cash flow improved significantly to €1.0 billion (Q1 2020: €44 million)
- Net income in 2021 expected to be between €5.0 billion and €5.5 billion
Siemens AG has started off fiscal 2021 with a strong first quarter. From October to December 2020, orders, revenue and net income considerably exceeded both the prior-year figures and market expectations despite the still complex macroeconomic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and despite negative currency translation effects. As a result, Siemens has significantly raised its annual guidance for fiscal 2021 at key points.

- More flexibility thanks to KNX communication capability
- Less wiring reduces cost and saves inputs/outputs on the controller
- Ideal for noise sensitive applications thanks to <28 dB noise level
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has upgraded its range of SSA
actuators for small valves by adding new features for more energy efficient and
versatile hydronic room applications. The updated SSA actuators now offer more
flexibility due to their broad control possibilities - from analog control to
KNX communication capabilities for room solutions and fast integration into
connected systems. While using the same cable for communication and power, the
customer saves time and cost. Thanks to the operating mode ‘nightmode’, the
actuators are more silent than ever, with less than 28 dB. This makes them
ideal for use in noise-sensitive areas, such as hotels, recording studios,
meeting rooms and libraries.
