  • Revenue for the second quarter was €18.011 billion, 7% below the prior-year level.
  • Total Sectors Profit declined to €1.374 billion due primarily to lower profit in Industry and Infrastructure & Cities.
  • Income from continuing operations increased slightly to €982 million. For comparison, the prior-year period included an equity investment loss of €640 million related to NSN.
  • Net income improved to €1.030 billion, including a positive contribution from discontinued operations. Corresponding basic EPS was €1.20, up from €1.03 in the prior-year period, benefiting from share buybacks between the periods under review.

* At the end of the second quarter Siemens' solar business no longer fulfilled the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations according to IFRS.

Siemens still intends to exit the solar business.
