- Orders rose 15% and revenue grew 10% on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects
- On a nominal basis, orders grew 10% to €24.2 billion, driven by sharply higher volume from large orders in Mobility, while revenue was up 6% year-over-year at €18.9 billion including increases in all industrial businesses; the book-to-bill ratio was 1.28
- Profit Industrial Business was €2.8 billion with a profit margin of 15.3%, including substantial increases in Digital Industries and Smart Infrastructure; profit Industrial Business in Q3 FY 2022 of €2.9 billion benefited from a €0.7 billion divestment gain in Mobility
- On Net income of €1.4 billion, corresponding basic earnings per share (EPS) were €1.61 and EPS before purchase price allocation accounting (EPS pre PPA) were €1.78; a net loss of €1.5 billion in Q3 FY 2022 was due primarily to an impairment of the stake in Siemens Energy recorded in the amount of €2.7 billion

We again achieved profitable growth and showed our competitive strength across all our businesses. We have seen normalization of demand, particularly in China and in short-cycle business. I’m very pleased that our financial performance was again strong and resilient. We continue to execute our strategy of creating high-value growth and accelerating our customers’ digital transformation and sustainability journeys.
Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG
