Germany's Siemens AG (SIE.XE) on Thursday said fourth-quarter
net profit rose, citing good results from most of its businesses,
which offset lower earnings at its wind energy and gas and power
businesses.
Net profit for the July-September period was 1.29 billion euros
($1.50 billion), up from EUR1.15 billion a year earlier. A
consensus provided by FactSet anticipated quarterly net income at
EUR1.27 billion.
Revenue for the quarter was up slightly at EUR22.30 billion from
EUR21.95 billion a year earlier, though it fell short of a
consensus estimate for EUR23.44 billion compiled by FactSet.
Orders for the quarter climbed 16% to EUR23.66 billion,
outstripping sales and ensuring a quarterly book-to-bill ratio of
1.06.
The company proposed to raise its dividend by EUR0.10 a share to
EUR3.70 a share.
Siemens also said it expects modest organic revenue growth for
fiscal 2018, and basic earnings of EUR7.20 to EUR7.70 a share. The
company predicts a profit margin at its industrial business of
between 11% to 12% excluding severance charges, it said.
Siemens also announced that it appointed Jochen Schmitz as the
new chief financial officer of its healthcare business, which it
expects to list on the stock market in the first half of 2018.
