Revenue in the Gas and Power segment was down by 9.7% to €4.16bn compared to €4.61bn in the same quarter of the previous year. This decrease was primarily due to negative currency translation effects and the lower order intake in previous quarters.
Revenue in the SGRE segment increased by 6% in the quarter to €2.33bn, as against €2.2bn last year.
Siemens Energy president and CEO Christian Bruch said: “I am pleased with our solid second-quarter results and that we are on track to reach our targets for the year despite a challenging environment.
“Our strong order intake proves our competitiveness, especially that of our sustainable portfolio elements.”
