[Global News] Strong fourth quarter completes successful fiscal 2024

In the fourth quarter, there was strong order intake with significant growth in the Mobility segment, driven by higher volumes from large orders, including maintenance contracts for locomotives and intercity trains in the U.S. Smart Infrastructure recorded an increase in order intake, fueled by larger contract wins. Digital Industries experienced a decline in order intake. Revenue growth for Smart Infrastructure, Mobility, and Siemens Healthineers was largely offset by a decline in the automation business at Digital Industries. Currency translation effects reduced both order and revenue growth by one percentage point each, while portfolio effects decreased order growth by one percentage point and had a minimal impact on revenue growth.
“In another successful fiscal year, we delivered record profit and stringently executed our strategy. We benefited from continuing strong demand for electrification, transportation and our industrial software offerings while our automation business remained challenging,” said Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG.
