Targets achieved – another outstanding year for Siemens
»Our global team delivered excellent results in fiscal 2017, surpassing even the historic success of last year. Most businesses are stronger than ever and well equipped for the digital age. Nevertheless, we have to tackle structural issues in some individual businesses. There is a lot of work ahead of us in fiscal 2018. We will take advantage of our opportunities in the market and handle challenges carefully, responsibly and rigorously,« said Joe Kaeser, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG.
Fiscal 2017
Revenue rose 4%, to €83.0 billion; orders were strong at €85.7 billion, just 1% below the high level a year ago despite substantial, ongoing contraction in markets for the Power and Gas Division which recorded large orders in Egypt totaling €4.7 billion in the prior year; the book-to-bill ratio was 1.03
On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 3% and orders declined 2%
Industrial Business profit rose 8%, to €9.5 billion, with double-digit increases at Building Technologies, Digital Factory, Mobility and Process Industries and Drives more than offsetting declines at Power and Gas and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE)
Industrial Business profit margin reached 11.2%, with a majority of businesses within or above their target ranges
Net income up 11%, to €6.2 billion, driven by the strong operating performance; basic earnings per share (EPS) of €7.44, well within the guidance range
Siemens proposes to raise the dividend €0.10 per share, to €3.70 per share
Q4 Fiscal 2017
Fourth-quarter orders climbed 16% year-over-year, to €23.7 billion, driven by a higher volume from large orders, and revenue rose 2%, to €22.3 billion, for a book-to-bill ratio of 1.06
Excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, orders increased 16% and revenue was up 1%
Industrial Business profit declined to €2.2 billion due primarily to a sharp drop in profit at Power and Gas and a loss at SGRE
Net income and basic EPS rose 10%, to €1.3 billion and €1.57, respectively

Free cash flow (continuing and discontinued operations) 2,376 3,570 (33)%ROCE (continuing and discontinued operations) 10.5% 11.9%
Higher orders in all industrial businesses; overall growth driven mainly by higher volume from large orders at SGRE, Energy Management and Power and Gas
Order backlog for the Siemens Group at €126 billion, reported in accordance with IFRS 15
Revenue up in the majority of industrial businesses, including sharp growth at SGRE due to portfolio effects, double-digit growth in Digital Factory and clear growth in Mobility; as expected, continuing significant decline in Power and Gas in contracting markets
Portfolio transactions added four percentage points each to order and revenue growth; negative foreign currency translation effects took four percentage points from order growth and three percentage points from revenue growth
Profit Industrial Business: improvements at the majority of the industrial businesses more than offset by a sharp profit decline at Power and Gas in a highly competitive market environment and by a loss at SGRE due mainly to a write-down of inventories; Healthineers exceeded the high profit it achieved in the prior-year quarter, while Digital Factory’s strong profit contribution included excellent performance in its short-cycle businesses
Income from continuing operations and Net income rose as lower Industrial Business profit was more than offset by positive factors outside Industrial Business, particularly including Corporate items, Siemens Real Estate and income tax expenses
Decrease in Free cash flow from Industrial Business, to €2.837 billion from the high level of €4.034 billion in Q4 FY 2016; decline in Free cash flow was due mainly to Power and Gas, driven by lower customer project payments
ROCE declined as higher net income was more than offset by a substantial increase in average capital employed, primarily resulting from the acquisition of Mentor Graphics and the SGRE merger
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations as of September 30, 2017: €9.6 billion (June 30, 2017: €9.8 billion)
Order growth due to a higher volume from large orders in the service business, partly offset by a decline in new-unit business
In contracting markets, revenue down in all reporting regions, most notably in the region representing Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East (Europe/CAME); declines particularly in the solutions and large gas turbine businesses which in Q4 FY 2016 executed large orders from Egypt
Despite continuing strong contribution from the service business, profit fell on reduced capacity utilization and price declines; Q4 FY 2016 included positive effects totaling €70 million related to measurement of inventories
Global energy trends continue to structurally reduce overall demand in markets for the Division’s offerings, resulting in declining new–unit business and corresponding price pressure due to current overcapacities

Substantial increase in orders, primarily due to a large order totaling €0.8 billion for an offshore grid connection project in Germany
Lower revenue mainly in the Division’s transmission businesses, particularly in the solutions business; on a regional basis, an increase in Asia, Australia was more than offset by declines in Europe/CAME and in the Americas
Profit increase despite lower revenue mainly due to lower severance charges

Higher volume from large orders, including significant contract wins in Europe and Asia, the largest for a driverless metro in Austria; Q4 FY 2016 included an €0.4 billion order for light rail vehicles from the U.S.
Revenue grew on successful execution of large rolling-stock and locomotive orders in Europe and the U.S.
Profit rose due to higher revenue and a strong earnings contribution from the Division’s digital and automation businesses, more than offsetting higher severance charges year-over-year due to capacity adjustments
Siemens and Alstom SA, France, signed a memorandum of understanding to combine Siemens’ mobility business, including its rail traction drives business, with Alstom SA; the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close at the end of calendar 2018

Strong broad-based volume growth continues; another excellent performance in the short-cycle businesses, which again benefited from a favorable market environment particularly in the automotive and machine building industries; the product lifecycle management software business grew substantially driven by the acquisition of Mentor Graphics
On a geographic basis, volume increases in all reporting regions, including substantial growth in China
Strong profit performance in the factory automation business; overall profit and profitability impacted by higher severance charges associated with previously announced efficiency measures, ongoing expenses related to further advancing Siemens’ MindSphere platform and burdens associated with the acquisition of Mentor Graphics

Revenue decline due mainly to the large drives and the solutions businesses, only partly offset by moderate growth in the process automation business
Improving operating performance in the process automation business; overall profit and profitability held back by ongoing operational challenges, particularly in the large drives business, and by charges related to capacity adjustments

Revenue growth due primarily to the merger
Development of profitability held back by sharp price declines in India and the U.S.; loss due to burdens of €134 million primarily from the write-down of inventories and €67 million for integration costs and capacity adjustments including severance
In November 2017, after the close of the fiscal year, SGRE announced further capacity adjustment measures to address changing market conditions

Adoption of IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Beginning with fiscal 2018, Siemens will adopt IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, retrospectively, i.e. results for fiscal 2017 will be presented on a comparable basis. We do not expect the adoption of IFRS 15 to have a significant effect on Siemens’ Consolidated Financial Statements. On a preliminary basis, the adoption of IFRS 15 is expected to reduce reported revenue for fiscal 2017 by approximately €0.2 billion and reported basic EPS for fiscal 2017 by approximately €0.10, resulting mainly from Profit Industrial Business. Reported Industrial Business profit margin for fiscal 2017 is expected to decline by approximately 0.1 percentage points. As a result of the IFRS 15 adoption, starting with this earnings release, we report the backlog of the Siemens Group which, compared to the previous definition, now also includes the backlog in businesses outside the Industrial Business, eliminations for transactions between the businesses, and changes arising from the guidance in IFRS 15.
Outlook
We expect a mixed picture in our market environment in fiscal 2018, ranging from strong markets for our short-cycle businesses to unfavorable dynamics in our energy generation markets, as well as geopolitical uncertainties that may restrict investment sentiment. For fiscal 2018 we expect modest growth in revenue, net of effects from currency translation and portfolio transactions, and anticipate that orders will exceed revenue for a book-to-bill ratio above 1. We expect a profit margin of 11.0% to 12.0% for our Industrial Business and basic EPS from net income in the range of €7.20 to €7.70, both excluding severance charges.
This outlook excludes charges related to legal and regulatory matters, effects on EPS associated with minorities holding shares in Healthineers following the planned IPO, and potential effects which may follow the introduction of a new strategic program.
