- Guidance raised: Siemens now expects comparable revenue growth in the range of 7 percent to 10 percent (previously expected at 6 percent to 9 percent) and an increase in basic EPS pre PPA to a range of €8.90 to €9.40 (previously expected at €8.70 to €9.20)
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.

- Pilot operation with climate-friendly battery-powered trains
- Record performance of powerful Mireo Plus B on topographically challenging Westerwald route
- Diesel trains to be replaced by eco-friendly battery trains
Hessische
Landesbahn has opted for three two-car Mireo Plus B battery trains from Siemens
Mobility for their Upper and Lower Westerwald railway pilot project. Both
routes in the Westerwald, with demanding gradients and long non-electrified
sections, require high-performance trains. With its high drive power, the Mireo
Plus B is ideally suited to meet this challenge. Battery-powered trains will
achieve substantial CO2 savings and reduce noise levels and exhaust
emissions in the region when they replace diesel trains.

Siemens turns ski lifts into high-tech systems
Siemens and Skyway agreed to
work together to determine the electrical and digital infrastructure needed to
support vertiport operations. Vertiports are hubs for vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) vehicles such as air taxis and drones. The scope of
collaboration involves both companies researching energy demands of vertiports
and developing sustainable electrical supply, standard charging processes, and
a “system of systems” to support aircraft operations. Innovation around
vertiport infrastructure will be critical to the future scalability of electric
vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) flight operations.
