Total revenue in the quarter stood at €2.3bn, an increase of 6% year-on-year (YoY). Of the €2.3bn, €1.9bn came from sales of wind turbines.
Sales of onshore wind turbines accounted for €1.1bn, a decrease of 7.9%, due to what Siemens attributed to lower prices and “planned back-end project execution”. The remaining €801m came from offshore sales, an increase of 24.7%. A further €358m was made from operation and maintenance, a 24.6% increase on the previous quarter.
In total Siemens had €11.5bn in orders over the last 12 months, a 3% increase YoY with an order book currently standing at €23bn, giving the company 92% coverage for the upcoming financial year.
Siemens’ total order intake in the last 12 months totalled 9.1GW in power, a 37% increase on the previous year. In the most recent quarter, India made up 25% of their orders, with Spain (16%), the US (12%) and Mexico (11%) making up a majority of the orders.
