Germany’s Siemens disclosed its latest quarterly earnings, showcasing a blend of challenges and market normalisation in the wake of fluctuating global demand, particularly in China.

In the quarter under review, Siemens faced a shortfall in profit, missing projected forecasts. The company attributed this to softening demand in various markets, notably including China, which has been a pivotal driver of worldwide manufacturing activities and stands as the company’s third-largest market.

Siemens noted that China’s recovery post its COVID-19 related shutdown was relatively subdued, leading to a slower market normalization. Despite this, the company emphasized a “normalization of demand” after customers engaged in pre-buying last year to circumvent shortages. Although orders experienced a 10% increase in the three months ending June, this growth rate was slightly lower than the 13% witnessed in the prior three months.

CEO Roland Busch affirmed that the market normalization was transpiring faster than anticipated, expressing confidence in China’s economy picking up momentum. While acknowledging potential short-term delays, Busch firmly stated, “This market will pick up.”

In the reported quarter, Siemens recorded a 4% decrease in industrial profit for its mobility, smart infrastructure, and factory automation divisions, amounting to 2.75 billion euros ($3.02 billion). This figure fell short of the anticipated 2.90 billion euros as per the company’s compiled consensus by analysts.

This development led to a 3.6% dip in the company’s premarket share activity.

Although Siemens upheld its group-level outlook for the fiscal year until September-end, it revised expectations for its digital industries business, which supplies controllers to factories. The revised outlook forecasts comparable revenue growth between 13% and 15%, as opposed to the initial projection of 17% to 20%.

The digital industries division encountered a 37% plunge in order intake during the quarter, particularly within the short-cycle factory automation segment. Despite this, the division managed to achieve revenue and profit growth due to its efficient order book management and increased utilization of its manufacturing facilities.

Siemens’ performance reflects broader global economic trends, serving as a barometer for manufacturing activity and market health. The company’s experiences resonate with the recent slowdown in manufacturing activity, evident through weakened purchasing manager data across Europe and China.

Although facing some headwinds, Siemens managed to secure a 10% increase in orders, totalling 24.24 billion euros during its third quarter, surpassing the projected 22.19 billion euros. Despite revenue rising by 6% to 18.89 billion euros, it missed the anticipated 19.27 billion euros, and net profit of 1.44 billion euros also fell short of expectations.

Undeterred by these challenges, Siemens reiterated its guidance at the group level. The company expects comparable revenue growth of 9% to 11% for the year’s entirety until the end of September, alongside projected earnings per share ranging from 9.60 to 9.90 euros.
