Siemens Healthineers with a strong start to fiscal year 2022; outlook raised

Erlangen, February 3, 2022 – Siemens Healthineers AG today announces its results for the fiscal year 2022 first quarter that ended December 31, 2021.

Q1 Fiscal Year 2022

  • Very good growth: comparable revenue growth of 9.5% and equipment book-to-bill ratio at 1.20
  • Diagnostics revenue with excellent comparable growth of 19.7%, including €329 million from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests
  • Very solid start for Varian with revenue contribution of €750 million
  • Imaging continues to be strong with 5.9% comparable revenue growth; Advanced Therapies with 3.3%
  • Adjusted EBIT margin of 17.6% reflecting negative currency effects, currently higher procurement and logistics costs, and a positive impact from higher contributions from rapid antigen tests
  • Adjusted basic earnings per share up 12% to €0.55
  • Continued strong free cash flow of €556 million

Updated Outlook for Fiscal Year 2022

Due to the increased demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests in Europe and the approval of our rapid antigen tests in the U.S., we raise our outlook for fiscal year 2022. The outlook is now based on the assumption that the Diagnostics segment will generate around €700 million (previously: around €200 million) in revenue with rapid COVID-19 antigen tests. As a result, we now expect comparable revenue growth between 3% and 5% (previously: 0% to 2%) and adjusted basic earnings per share between €2.18 and €2.30 (previously: €2.08 to €2.20).

Bernd Montag, CEO of Siemens Healthineers AG:

»Our team delivered a strong start for the next phase of our company despite a more than challenging environment. It is a great proof point of our ambition to further accelerate growth and make an even greater impact on global healthcare. Additional upside from our rapid antigen testing allows us to raise our full year outlook.«

2 Adjusted EBIT is defined as income before income taxes, interest income and expenses and other financial income, net, adjusted for expenses for portfolio-related measures, severance charges 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 portfolio-related measures and severance charges, 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.

Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased substantially again over the prior-year quarter. On a comparable basis, revenue rose 9.5%. Excluding rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, revenue growth was at 4.5%. All segments contributed to this growth. The Diagnostics segment posted sharp growth, driven in particular by high demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests. From a geographical perspective, the EMEA region benefited the most, posting clear double-digit growth, as the rapid antigen tests were distributed primarily in Europe. The Americas region recorded very strong growth, whereas revenue in the Asia, Australia region declined slightly, following double-digit growth in the prior-year quarter. On a nominal basis, revenue in the first quarter rose 31% to almost €5.1 billion, benefiting from the contribution of the Varian segment.

The equipment book-to-bill ratio was at a very good 1.20 in the first quarter.

Adjusted EBIT increased 22% in the first quarter over the prior-year period to €898 million. The adjusted EBIT margin of 17.6% was down on the previous year, reflecting negative currency effects and currently higher procurement and logistics costs. Higher contributions from the antigen testing business had a positive impact. Expenses for performance-related remuneration components were lower than in the prior-year quarter in all segments. This effect was mostly offset by a slight backswing in travel and marketing costs compared with the pandemic-related very low level in the prior-year quarter.

Net income in the first quarter rose 8% from the prior year to €472 million. The tax rate was 29%, following 28% in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted basic earnings per share increased 12% to €0.55 from €0.49 in the prior-year quarter.

Free cash flow was once again strong, reaching €556 million in the first quarter. Compared with the prior-year quarter, however, it was impacted by significantly higher payments for performance-related remuneration components for fiscal year 2021.

1 Total adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue adjusted for effects in line with revaluation of contract liabilities from IFRS 3 purchase price allocations.

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

The Imaging segment achieved revenue of around €2.5 billion in the first quarter, corresponding to a growth of 5.9% over the prior-year quarter on a comparable basis. Molecular Imaging posted significant growth, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Tomography showed very strong growth. From a geographical perspective, growth in the Americas region developed significantly, and growth in the EMEA region was strong. Revenue in the Asia, Australia region declined slightly, following doubledigit growth in the prior-year quarter.

The segment's adjusted EBIT margin of 20.0% was below the level of the outstanding prior-year quarter. This was due, in particular, to negative currency effects and higher procurement and logistics costs.

1 Total adjusted revenue is defined as total revenue adjusted for effects in line with revaluation of contract liabilities from IFRS 3 purchase price allocations.

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

Revenue in the Diagnostics segment was up 19.7% on a comparable basis in the first quarter compared with the prior-year quarter, reaching around €1.4 billion. Revenue of €329 million was generated from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests. Excluding the rapid antigen tests, growth was at solid 3.2%. As the rapid antigen tests are distributed primarily in Europe, the EMEA region benefited the most from this, recording clear double-digit growth. The Asia, Australia region posted strong revenue growth, while in the Americas region revenue slightly declined on the prior-year quarter, which had benefited from a major Atellica order.

The segment's adjusted EBIT margin reached 16.9% – considerably higher than in the prior-year quarter. The margin increase was supported by contributions from the rapid antigen testing business. This was partly offset by negative currency effects and higher procurement and logistics costs.

The Varian segment had a very solid start with revenue of €750 million in the first quarter. Almost half of it was generated in the Americas region. Adjusted EBIT was €117 million. This translates into a good adjusted EBIT margin of 15.7% despite high procurement and logistics costs.

Revenue in the Advanced Therapies segment was up 3.3% on a comparable basis in the first quarter from the prior-year quarter, reaching €437 million. From a geographical perspective, the Americas region achieved significant revenue growth. While revenue in the EMEA region developed strongly, revenue in the Asia, Australia region was below the strong prior-year level.

The adjusted EBIT margin of 14.3% was below the high level of the prior-year quarter. This was due to negative currency effects, higher expenses for the further development of the Corindus business, and higher procurement and logistics costs.

1 Calculated based on the income tax rate of the respective reporting period.

Amortization, depreciation and other effects from IFRS 3 purchase price allocation adjustments increased to €175 million. This is against the backdrop of the acquisition of Varian Medical Systems, Inc.

Financial income, net included, among other things, financing costs for loans taken out in connection with the acquisition of Varian. In the prior-year quarter, the acquisition-related costs were mainly associated with purchase-price hedging and bridge financing.

Net income rose 8% to €472 million in the first quarter over the prior year. The tax rate was 29%, following 28% in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted basic earnings per share increased 12% to €0.55. The higher adjustments compared with the prior-year quarter included in particular expenses connected with the acquisition of Varian.

Outlook

Due to the increased demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests in Europe and the approval of our rapid antigen tests in the U.S., we raise our outlook for fiscal year 2022.

We now expect comparable revenue growth between 3% and 5% from fiscal year 2021 (previously 0% to 2%) and adjusted basic earnings per share (adjusted for expenses for portfolio-related measures, and severance charges, net of tax) to be between €2.18 and €2.30 (previously €2.08 to €2.20).

For the Diagnostics segment we now expect a low single-digit negative (previously mid-teens negative) comparable revenue growth and an adjusted EBIT margin in the low teens (previously high-single digits) in fiscal year 2022. The outlook is now based on the assumption that the segment will generate around €700 million (previously around €200 million) in revenue with rapid COVID-19 antigen tests.

The outlook is based on several assumptions. This includes the expectation that current and potential future measures to keep the COVID-19 pandemic under control will not negatively impact the demand for and the provision of our products and services and that procurement and logistics costs will start to normalize in the second half of the fiscal year. The outlook is also based on current exchange rate assumptions and excludes portfolio activities. Furthermore, it is based on the number of outstanding shares at the end of fiscal year 2021 and excludes charges related to legal, tax, and regulatory matters and frameworks.
