Our customers have full confidence in us as their technology partner to support them with their digital and sustainability transformations," said Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG.
"Our Free cash flow rose to above €1 billion – a clear increase over the prior-year quarter. Our focus remains on our execution strength, and we confirm our outlook for fiscal 2024," said Ralf P. Thomas, Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG.
- First-quarter revenue rose 6% on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, and orders increased 2% compared to the same quarter a year earlier
- On a nominal basis, revenue rose 2% to €18.4 billion and orders came in slightly lower year-over-year at €22.3 billion, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.21
- Profit Industrial Business was €2.7 billion with a profit margin of 15.8%, both slightly higher year-over-year
- Net income climbed 56%, to €2.5 billion, including €0.5 billion from Siemens Energy Investment; corresponding basic earnings per share (EPS) were €3.03 and EPS before purchase price allocation accounting (EPS pre PPA) were €3.19; excluding €0.61 per share related to Siemens Energy Investment, EPS pre PPA were €2.58
- Free cash flow rose sharply to €1.0 billion driven by Industrial Business
At the beginning of fiscal 2024, business activities in the areas of low-voltage and geared motors and motor spindles, previously part of Digital Industries' motion control business, were transferred to Portfolio Companies as described in our Combined Management Report for fiscal 2023. Prior-year figures are presented accordingly.

- Order intake at Mobility nearly doubled, with a higher volume of large orders, offsetting declines at Digital Industries and Healthineers; orders at Smart Infrastructure remained on a high level
- Revenue growth in most industrial businesses, led by a double-digit increase at Mobility; moderate decline at Digital Industries
- Currency translation effects took three percentage points from order growth and four percentage points from revenue growth; portfolio effects had a minimal impact on volume development
- Profit Industrial Business: profit increases in nearly all industrial businesses, led by Smart Infrastructure, which reached its highestever quarterly profit on a strong operating performance combined with a €0.1 billion positive effect related to past portfolio activities; profit at Digital Industries came in lower due to declines in the automation businesses; Digital Industries and Smart Infrastructure recorded significant negative currency effects
- Outside Industrial Business, Earnings before taxes at Siemens Financial Services rose sharply due to a €0.1 billion gain from the sale of a stake in an equity investment; Siemens Energy Investment recorded a €0.5 billion gain from the transfer of an 8.0% stake in Siemens Energy AG to Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. and corresponding termination of equity method accounting
- The increase in Free cash flow was due mainly to Industrial Business which generated sharply higher Free cash flow of €1.3 billion (Q1 FY 2023: €0.4 billion) driven by improvements in working capital management in all industrial businesses
- Cash outflows of €2.1 billion, recorded outside of Free cash flow, related to the acquisition of a 18% stake in Siemens Limited, India from Siemens Energy
- Provisions for pensions and similar obligations as of December 31, 2023 increased slightly to €1.5 billion (September 30, 2023: €1.4 billion); a positive return on plan assets and the effect from the above-mentioned transfer of the stake in Siemens Energy AG were more than offset by the effect from lower discount rate assumptions
- ROCE increased due mainly to sharply higher net income year-overyear

- Order intake for Digital Industries came in substantially lower due primarily to the automation businesses as market conditions softened year-over-year and customers continued destocking following former proactive purchasing; orders in the software business came in lower compared to Q1 FY 2023, which included larger contract wins in the product lifecycle management (PLM) business
- Higher revenue in the software business, driven by the PLM business, was more than offset by revenue declines in the automation businesses particularly for higher-margin products
- On a geographic basis, orders and revenue declined most strongly in the Asia, Australia region, due particularly to China
- Profit declined due mainly to lower capacity utilization and a less favorable product mix in the automation businesses

- Revenue rose in all reporting regions as increasing demand such as for data centers and power distribution helped offset macroeconomic headwinds mostly affecting short-cycle businesses; revenue growth was led by the electrification business, which posted double-digit growth in all regions
- Profit and profitability rose to a record high on higher revenue and increased capacity utilization, and a positive €94 million effect from partial reversal of a liability related to past portfolio activities

- Siemens transferred a 8.0% stake in Siemens Energy AG to Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. and no longer has significant influence over Siemens Energy AG. As a result, Siemens has ceased accounting for Siemens Energy under the equity method. The remaining 17.1% stake is reported as financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The share transfer and termination of equity method accounting resulted in a gain of €0.5 billion for Siemens Energy Investment.
- Within Financing, eliminations and other items, revaluation of the stake in Thoughtworks Holding, Inc. resulted in a gain in contrast to a loss in Q1 FY 2023, which also included burdens totaling €74 million related to provisions for a legacy project
Outlook
We confirm our outlook for fiscal 2024. We continue to assume that geopolitical tensions do not further increase. Under this condition, we expect our Industrial Business to continue its profitable growth.
For the Siemens Group we expect comparable revenue growth, net of currency translation and portfolio effects, in the range of 4% to 8% and a book-to-bill ratio above 1.
Digital Industries expects for fiscal 2024 comparable revenue development of 0% to 3%. This is based on the assumption that following destocking by customers, global demand in the automation businesses, especially in China, will pick up again in the second half of the fiscal year. The profit margin is expected to be 20% to 23%.
Smart Infrastructure expects for fiscal 2024 comparable revenue growth of 7% to 10%. The profit margin is expected to be 15% to 17%.
Mobility expects for fiscal 2024 comparable revenue growth of 8% to 11%. The profit margin is expected to be 8% to 10%.
We expect this profitable growth of our Industrial Business to drive an increase in basic EPS from net income before purchase price allocation accounting (EPS pre PPA) to a range of €10.40 to €11.00 in fiscal 2024, excluding a positive €0.61 per share from Siemens Energy Investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. With termination of equity method accounting, Siemens Energy Investment is not expected to have additional effects on EPS going forward. EPS pre PPA excluding Siemens Energy Investment in fiscal 2023 was €9.93.
This outlook excludes burdens from legal and regulatory matters.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, should decisions, assessments or requirements of regulatory authorities deviate from our expectations, should events of force majeure, such as pandemics, unrest or acts of war, 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.
