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).
- Each level of the S-building is ventilated using a separate HVAC
system to ensure 100% fresh air
- This system helps the hospital to comply with more stringent energy
standards and ventilation requirements
- Lighting, air conditioning and access control are managed from a
single user-friendly interface using the Desigo CC system
- Technology ecosystem and energy equipment to provide optimum support
for healthcare personnel
Siemens has finished installing a
leading-edge HVAC system in the new S-building which has extended the A.S.Z.
(general city hospital) campus in Aalst, Belgium. The building technology
experts have also supplied the CCTV and access control systems. All air
conditioning, ventilation and security functions have been brought together in
the Siemens management system, Desigo CC. This makes it much easier to operate
for both healthcare personnel and patients, thereby providing more comfortable
rooms and reducing energy consumption at the same time. Siemens is therefore
helping the A.S.Z. in Aalst to meet the Belgian Supreme Council of Health's
increasingly stringent requirements and standards for energy efficiency in
buildings.
