Siemens Healthineers starts new fiscal year with strong growth – outlook confirmed

Erlangen, Germany, February 3, 2020 - Siemens Healthineers AG today announced its results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 that ended December 31, 2019.

Q1 Fiscal Year 2020

  • Comparable revenue growth of 5.5% strong performance in Imaging with 6.7% growth and very strong in Advanced Therapies with 9.5% increase
  • Equipment book-to-bill of 1.2, the seventh consecutive quarter with book-to-bill >1
  • Adjusted EBIT margin of 13.5% down on previous year, negatively impacted by temporary dip in Imaging and the margin development as guided in Diagnostics
  • Adjusted basic earnings per share at €0.35
  • Free cash flow of €244 million significantly above prior year
  • Outlook for fiscal year 2020 confirmed

Bernd Montag, CEO of Siemens Healthineers AG:

»We started the new fiscal year and the Upgrading phase of our Strategy 2025 with a growth-intensive first quarter. Profitability was held back by temporary effects. Recent major order wins underline the fact that we are more than ever before the preferred partner for efficient and high-quality healthcare. Against the background of our very strong order situation, we are confident for the further development of the current fiscal year.«

Business highlights

Fiscal year 2020 marks the start of the next phase of the Siemens Healthineers Strategy 2025, known as the so-called Upgrading phase. Clear priorities have been defined for the three business segments.

In the Imaging segment, the company is consistently expanding its leading position in the field of digitalization with the launch of new products. These include two AI-Rad Companions for the AI-assisted analysis of MR brain1 and prostate1 image data, as well as a computed tomography system that automatically adapts examination procedures to existing patient data with the help of intelligent user guidance.

In the Diagnostics segment, Siemens Healthineers wants to expand its leading position in workflow improvement. Recently, the company won an important Atellica Solution contract. The customer is Quest Diagnostics, the world's leading provider of diagnostic information services. With the agreement, Siemens Healthineers will be the U.S. company's primary supplier for immunoassay testing. The order is further evidence that Atellica Solution is very well received in the market.

The Advanced Therapies segment's portfolio is geared to further improving the precision of minimally invasive procedures. The Artis product family is playing a central role in the related imaging. In addition, further business opportunities have been created with the acquisition of Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc., which was completed at the end of October. At the end of 2019, a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted heart procedure was performed for the first time in Germany at the University Hospital in Giessen, using both the Corindus robotic system and an Artis angiography system from Siemens Healthineers.

As of beginning of fiscal year 2020, Siemens Healthineers applies the accounting standard IFRS 16, Leases. Comparative figures for the preceding fiscal year were not adjusted. Instead, the overall insignificant transition effects were recognized in equity as of October 1, 2019. 1 510(k) pending. This information about this product is preliminary. It is not commercially available in all countries, and its future availability cannot be ensured.

2 Adjusted EBIT is defined as income before income taxes, interest income and expenses and other financial income, net, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, severance charges,

acquisition-related transaction costs and centrally carried pension service and administration expenses (only excluded from adjusted EBIT of the segments).

3 Adjusted basic earnings per share are defined as basic earnings per share, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, severance charges and acquisition-related transaction costs, net of tax. 4 Free cash flow comprises the cash flows from operating activities and additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment included in cash flows from investing activities.

Siemens Healthineers recorded strong growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, mainly due to a continuing positive momentum in the Imaging and Advanced Therapies segments. On a comparable basis, meaning excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 5.5 percent year on year and reached almost €3.6 billion. While the increases in Imaging and Advanced Therapies were particularly marked, the Diagnostics segment recorded solid growth. From a regional perspective, the EMEA region developed very positively with double-digit percentage growth. The Asia, Australia region also recorded a significant year-on-year revenue increase. In contrast, revenue in the Americas region remained flat on a comparable basis.

On a nominal basis, revenue growth was nine percent. The difference to comparable growth is mainly due to positive currency translation effects. The order situation of the company remains very good: The equipment book-to-bill ratio, i.e. the ratio of orders to revenue, was 1.2 in the first quarter. This performance is also the result of long-term partnerships between Siemens Healthineers and major healthcare providers worldwide.

Adjusted EBIT decreased eleven percent year on year to €484 million, translating into an adjusted EBIT margin of 13.5 percent in the first quarter, compared to 16.4 percent in the prior year. While profitability was negatively impacted by a temporary dip in Imaging and the guided weak margin performance in Diagnostics, Advanced Therapies almost reached the margin level of the prior-year quarter.

Net income fell twelve percent to €304 million in the first quarter, also due to a higher tax rate of 27 percent. In the prior-year period, the tax rate had been positively influenced by a special effect and amounted to 24 percent. Adjusted basic earnings per share declined six percent to €0.35 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

At €244 million, free cash flow improved significantly from the previous year, mainly due to reduced funding requirements in net working capital. In addition, free cash flow benefited from the first-time application of IFRS 16.

Imaging

Total revenue 2,221 2,021 9.9% 6.7%
Adjusted EBIT 386 402 −4%
Adjusted EBIT margin 17.4% 19.9%

1 Year-over-year on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects.

The Imaging segment recorded revenue of €2.2 billion in the first quarter. This corresponds to very strong year-on-year growth of about seven percent on a comparable basis, particularly driven by X-ray Products, Molecular Imaging and Magnetic Resonance. While the EMEA and Asia, Australia regions recorded significant growth, revenue in the Americas region declined slightly after strong growth in the prior-year quarter.

The segment's adjusted EBIT margin of 17.4 percent was below the level of the previous year, despite positive currency effects. This was due to a less favorable business mix compared to the prior-year quarter and individual effects such as expenses related to share-based compensation.

Diagnostics

In the Diagnostics segment, revenue was slightly above €1 billion in the first quarter. This corresponds to a solid increase of about three percent from the prior year. Significant growth came from China, while EMEA and Americas only recorded slight increases.

The segment's adjusted EBIT margin was 3.1 percent and, as guided, was mainly burdened by higher ramp-up costs related to Atellica Solution, following the shipment of more than 600 analyzers in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Advanced Therapies

1 Year-over-year on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects.

The Advanced Therapies segment recorded revenue of €404 million in the first quarter. This corresponds to comparable growth of over nine percent year on year, driven by significant equipment growth in all regions.

Earnings-diluting effects from the Corindus acquisition were almost compensated for by higher revenue and positive currency effects: At 19.4 percent, the adjusted EBIT margin almost reached the good level of the prior year's quarter.

Amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations increased to €45 million due to the acquisitions of ECG Management Consultants and Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. In addition, acquisition-related transaction costs of €10 million were incurred from the acquisition of Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc.

In the financing interest item, Siemens Healthineers reported income in the first quarter. The main reasons for this were lower interest expenses resulting from the debt restructuring in fiscal year 2019 and interest income from an international tax procedure.

Net income was additionally held back by a higher tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The tax rate was 27 percent in the first quarter, up from 24 percent in the prior-year quarter, when it was positively impacted by an effect from an international tax procedure.

Outlook

We confirm our outlook for fiscal year 2020 and continue to expect comparable revenue growth to be in the range of 5% to 6% compared to fiscal year 2019. Adjusted basic earnings per share (adjusted for amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, severance charges, and acquisition-related transaction costs net of tax) are expected to be 6% to 12% above the level of fiscal year 20191. The outlook is based on current foreign exchange rate assumptions and on the current portfolio.
