While the firm’s sales growth met shareholder expectations, net income remained largely stable. During the following weeks and months, Siemens’ top management not only faced increased pressure from its shareholders, but also higher environmental uncertainty and stronger global competition than during the early and mid-1990s. The challenge for the top management team was to optimize the business portfolio in a way that promised to add substantial shareholder value over the next years.

  • Siemens in the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2007 (Ended June 30, 2007)
    Earnings Release Munich, July 25, 2007 Effective with the first quarter of fiscal 2007, Siemens prepares its primary financial reporting according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on a retroactive basis. Siemens in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 (ended June 30, 2007) • Orders were €22.147 billion, a 13% increase compared to the third quarter a year earlier, and revenue rose 8% year-over-year, to €20.176 billion. • Group profit from Operations for the quarter climbed 22% year-over-year, to €1.504 billion, despite negative equity investment income of €371 million related to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN). • Income from continuing operations was €716 million, including the negative equity investment income related to NSN. For comparison, income from continuing operations of €1.341 billion in the third quarter a year earlier benefited from a substantial, non- recurring positive effect at Corporate Treasury. • Net income was €2.065 billion and basic earnings per share (EPS) were €2.25, compared to €1.344 billion and €1.45, respectively, in the third quarter a year earlier. Discontinued operations contributed €1.349 billion to net income in the current quarter, primarily due to a gain resulting from the transfer of assets into NSN. • On a continuing basis, free cash flow in the third quarter increased to €908 million compared to €850 million in the prior-year period, despite payment of €419 million related to a previously disclosed European Commission antitrust investigation. 1 / 17 Siemens AG Reference number: AXX200707.104 e Corporate Communications Wolfram Trost Media Relations 80312 Munich 80312 Munich Tel.: +49 89 636-34794 Fax: -32825 E-mail: [email protected] WorldReginfo - 72464a2b-aa2d-4c45-ba73-7e05b9939c63 “Siemens’ third quarter demonstrates that the company is on track, and we are off to a good start on our Fit for 2010 program,” said Peter Löscher, who joined Siemens as CEO at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
