- Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses jumped 39% to €2.1 billion, including strong operating performances and sharply lower severance charges, resulting in Adjusted EBITA margin Industrial Businesses of 16.0%
- Net income rose substantially to €1.5 billion; corresponding increase in basic earnings per share (EPS) to €1.72
- Strong Free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations of €1.0 billion (Q1 FY 2020: €44 million)

- Continuing complex macroeconomic environment influenced by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19); pent-up demand and growth opportunities during the quarter that varied by business and geographic region, including strong growth in China
- Substantial currency translation effects took five percentage points each from order and revenue growth year-over-year; portfolio effects added one percentage point each to order and revenue growth year-over-year
- Order intake increased in all four industrial businesses on a comparable basis, led by Mobility which recorded a sharply higher volume from large orders
- Revenue also up in all four industrial businesses on a comparable basis; on a geographic basis, growth was most notable in China and Germany
- Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses rose sharply at Digital Industries, including recovery in the high-margin short-cycle businesses and sharply lower severance charges; substantial increases also at Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Healthineers; Mobility continued to perform successfully, holding Adjusted EBITA and profitability steady at prior-year, pre-COVID-19 levels; overall, negative impact from currency effects was strongest at Siemens Healthineers
- Outside Industrial Businesses, positive change in Corporate items primarily from transfers of assets to Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. in Germany totaling €138 million; Q1 FY 2020 included an even higher amount of gains related to investments for Siemens Real Estate and Siemens Financial Services
- Net income rose on substantially higher Adjusted EBITA Industrial Businesses partly offset by a higher income tax rate, and a positive contribution from discontinued operations mainly related to Flender; Q1 FY 2020 included a loss from discontinued operations mainly related to the former energy business
- Industrial Businesses generated strong Free cash flow of €1,468 million compared to €789 million in Q1 FY 2020, mainly driven by Siemens Healthineers with a high cash conversion rate of 1.19
- Provisions for pensions and similar obligations as of December 31, 2020: €5.0 billion (September 30, 2020: €6.4 billion); substantially reduced mainly due to a positive return on plan assets and to the contribution of Siemens' stake in Bentley Systems, Inc. to Siemens Pension Trust e.V., to strengthen Siemens' pension assets for the post-employment benefits of employees; substantially lower discount rates had a partly offsetting influence
- ROCE increased on a combination of substantially higher net income and a significant decrease in average capital employed

Digital Industries
- Strong order growth in the automation businesses, including double-digit growth in China and Germany. Order intake in the software business below the strong Q1 FY 2020, which included a number of large contract wins; reported orders came in lower due mainly to negative currency translation effects
- Revenue slightly above the prior-year level even with substantial headwinds from currency translation effects; growth contributions on a comparable basis from nearly all businesses; double-digit revenue growth in China
- Adjusted EBITA higher in all businesses, with the strongest increases in the short-cycle businesses, due in part to higher capacity utilization, and in the software business; Adjusted EBITA development also benefited from sharply lower severance charges year-over-year and from expense reductions related to prior execution of the cost structure optimization program and due to COVID-19 restrictions such as lower travel and marketing expenses
Smart Infrastructure

- Slight decline in revenue due to substantial adverse currency translation effects; comparable growth driven by the products business and the systems and software business; double-digit growth contribution from China
- Adjusted EBITA and profitability rose in all businesses, due in part to higher capacity utilization and cost savings related to prior execution of the competitiveness program as well as sharply lower severance charges and expense reductions related to COVID-19 restrictions

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.
