Outlook
We expect
global macroeconomic development to remain subdued in fiscal year 2021, with risks
particularly related to geopolitical and geoeconomic uncertainties. Our markets
tend to have a limited effect to economic cycles and our businesses, especially
our service business, is characterized by a high level of resilience.
Nevertheless, we observe with concern the resurgence of the global COVID-19 pandemic
and increasing local lock-down situations. In many countries our operations are
deemed system critical and thus are exempted from measures imposed by
authorities.
For Siemens Energy in fiscal year 2021, we expect
nominal revenue growth rate to be in the range of 2% to 12%, an Adjusted EBITA
margin before special items of 3% to 5%, a sharp increase in Net income and a
sharp decrease of Free cash flow pre tax.
For our GP segment in fiscal year 2021 we assume a
return to revenue growth compared to the fiscal year 2020 and thus nominal
revenue growth to be in the range of 2% to 11% and an Adjusted EBITA margin
before special items of 3.5% to 5.5%.
Our SGRE segment is expected to achieve a nominal
revenue growth rate of 8% to 18%, driven by the conversion from existing order
backlog as well as a stable development of the service and product business.
Adjusted EBITA margin before special items is expected to be in a range of 3%
to 5% in fiscal year 2021.
This
guidance assumes no further financial impact from COVID-19 during fiscal year
2021. We are hence monitoring the recent spike in new infections with concern
and evaluate appropriate measures as it pertains to our guidance.
This outlook
excludes charges related to legal and regulatory matters.
Notes and forward-looking statements
This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance, and future events or developments involving Siemens Energy that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “look forward to,” “anticipate” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “will,” “project,” or words of similar meaning. 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. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
