• In the first quarter, revenue reached 17.415 billion euros, an increase of 5%. On a comparable basis, excluding the effects of currency and portfolio changes, revenue grew by 3% year-on-year.
• New orders amounted to 18.013 billion euros, with a shipment ratio of 1.03, down 11% compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, including orders worth 1.6 billion euros secured in Saudi Arabia.
• Industrial Business profit reached 1.819 billion euros, down 4% year-on-year, mainly due to the expected underperformance of the Power and Gas division; the Industrial Business profit margin was within the expected range.
• Due to the overall market environment, earnings from continuing operations were 1.106 billion euros; affected by negative fluctuations from discontinued operations, net earnings were 1.095 billion euros, with basic earnings per share of 1.3 euros.
• The Industrial Business made a significant contribution to free cash flow.
• In the first quarter, Siemens classified its hearing aid business as discontinued operations; prior business data were calculated on a comparable basis.
• Milestones in portfolio adjustments include: completion in the first quarter of the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Energy's aero-derivative gas turbine and compressor business; in January 2015, the divestiture of the hearing aid business (expected pre-tax profit of approximately 1.6 billion euros), the sale of shares in Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances Group (BSH) (expected pre-tax profit of approximately 1.4 billion euros), and the establishment of a joint venture in metallurgical technology; additionally, we expect that the second quarter's 300 million euro capital commitment to Unify Holdings B.V. will impact earnings.
"Most of our businesses have met expectations. Some business groups have achieved excellent results, while the Healthcare business group needs to work harder to quickly resume its previous strong performance, and the Power and Gas group requires a more comprehensive plan to return to and sustain historically high profitability," said Joe Kaeser, President and CEO of Siemens AG.
