Earnings Release Q1 FY 2021: Outstanding start to fiscal 2021 – Guidance raised

Outlook

We continue to expect a complex macroeconomic environment influenced by COVID-19. We already saw improving conditions in some of our businesses and geographic regions during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Based on the assumption that these conditions continue in coming quarters, particularly for our short-cycle businesses, we raise our outlook for the fiscal year.
We continue to anticipate that negative currency effects will strongly burden both nominal growth rates in volume and Adjusted EBITA for our industrial businesses in fiscal 2021.
We raise our previous expectation of moderate comparable revenue growth for the Siemens Group, net of currency translation and portfolio effects, to mid- to high-single-digit growth. We continue to expect a book-to-bill ratio above 1.
Digital Industries now expects fiscal 2021 comparable revenue to grow clearly year-over-year instead of modestly. The expectation for Adjusted EBITA margin is now 19% to 20%, 2 percentage points higher. 
Smart Infrastructure continues to expect to achieve moderate comparable revenue growth in fiscal 2021. The expectation for Adjusted EBITA margin is now 10.5% to 11.5%, 0.5 percentage points higher. 
Mobility continues to anticipate mid-single-digit comparable revenue growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin at 9.5% to 10.5% in fiscal 2021.
In line with the expectations described above, we raise our outlook for net income to the range from €5.0 to €5.5 billion, well above the previous expectation of only moderate growth compared to €4.2 billion in fiscal 2020.
Excluded from this outlook are burdens from legal and regulatory issues and effects in connection with Siemens Healthineers’ planned acquisition of Varian Medical Systems, Inc., which is expected to close in the first half of calendar 2021.

This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “look forward to,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “will,” “project” or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in prospectuses, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens’ management, of which many are beyond Siemens’ control. These are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including, but not limited to, those described in disclosures, in particular in the chapter Report on expected developments and associated material opportunities and risks of the Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, events of force majeure, such as pandemics, occur or should underlying expectations including future events occur at a later date or not at all or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. Siemens neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens’ net assets and financial positions or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
