Fiscal 2005 – Results of Siemens
The following discussion presents selected information for Siemens for the fiscal years ended:
Orders for fiscal 2005 increased 11%, to €83.791 billion from €75.789 billion, on growing
demand particularly in Asia-Pacific and the Americas. Sales were €75.445 billion, a 7% increase
from €70.237 billion in the prior-year period. Excluding the net effects of acquisitions and dispo-
sitions and currency translation effects, sales were up 3% and orders rose 7%.
International sales and orders rose 11%, to €59.760 billion and €67.458 billion, respectively.
In Germany, sales declined 3% year-over-year, to €15.685 billion, while orders rose 8%, to €16.333
billion, due primarily to major orders at PG and outsourcing contracts at SBS. In Europe outside
Germany, sales for fiscal 2005 rose 7% year-over-year, to €24.429 billion, and orders were nearly
level, at €26.150 billion. Within the Americas, sales in the U.S. for the full year increased 10%, to
€14.686 billion, and orders rose 15%, to €15.867 billion, as growth from acquisitions more than
offset negative currency translation effects. Asia-Pacific sales of €10.057 billion were 12% higher
than in fiscal 2004, while orders climbed 23% year-over-year, to €11.918 billion. Within Asia-Paci-
fic, sales in China were up 19%, at €3.202 billion, while orders in China surged 40%, to €4.142
billion.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales in fiscal 2005 was 29.1% compared to 29.4% in the prior
year. Despite this overall margin decline, the majority of the Groups in Operations increased their
gross profit in fiscal 2005, led by TS, A&D, SV and I&S. Gross profit at TS in the prior year included
significantly higher charges in the Group’s rolling stock business. A&D improved gross profit
