Earnings Release Q1 FY 2022 - Solid performance at Gas and Power overshadowed by negative development at SGRE

Due to the business development of SGRE in the recent quarter and its adjusted guidance, we amended the outlook for the fiscal year 2022 for the SGRE segment and, accordingly, for Siemens Energy. In addition, management will reassess its prior expectations for Siemens Energy Group’s Adjusted EBITA margin before special items for fiscal year 2023 of positive 6.5% to positive 8.5%.

Our assessment for Siemens Energy’s business environment remains widely unchanged and we confirm GP segment’s outlook for fiscal year 2022. Global economy should continue to grow in fiscal year 2022 and we expect global supply chain constraints to persist as well as COVID-19 to remain a factor of uncertainty. Therefore, a shortage of materials and components and/or a lack of freight capacity may continue to have an impact on our business, especially as it pertains to the on-time execution of large projects. Nevertheless, we are still confident that the measures we have taken as part of our transformation – especially at GP – will lead to higher profitability at Siemens Energy in fiscal year 2022, although on a lower than expected level.

For Siemens Energy in fiscal year 2022, we now expect comparable revenue development (excluding currency translation and portfolio effects) to be in a range of negative 2% to positive 3% (previously negative 1% to positive 3%) and an Adjusted EBITA margin before special items between positive 2% and positive 4% (previously between positive 3% and positive 5%). We still expect a sharp improvement of Net income and Free cash flow pre tax to be in a range of a positive mid-triple-digit million €.

For the GP segment in fiscal year 2022, the outlook is unchanged. We target comparable revenue growth to be in a range of positive 1% to positive 5% and Adjusted EBITA margin before special items to be between positive 4.5% and positive 6.5%.

For the SGRE segment, we now expect in fiscal year 2022 a comparable decline of revenue between negative 2% and negative 9% (previously negative 2% and negative 7%). Adjusted EBITA margin before special items now is expected to be in a range of negative 4% to positive 1% (previously positive 1% to positive 4%). 

This guidance assumes no further major financial impacts from COVID-19 on our business activity and excludes charges related to legal and regulatory matters.

We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, prospectuses, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders, and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens Energy´s management, of which many are beyond Siemens Energy´s control. These are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including, but not limited to, those described in disclosures, in particular in the chapter “Report on expected developments and associated material opportunities and risks” in the Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, should acts of force majeure, such as pandemics, occur, or should underlying expectations including future events occur at a later date or not at all, or should assumptions prove incorrect, Siemens Energy´s actual results, performance, or achievements may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. Siemens Energy neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated. This document includes supplemental financial measures – that are not clearly defined in the applicable financial reporting framework – and that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens Energy´s net assets and financial position or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its consolidated financial statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently.
