Siemens Healthineers said Thursday that its earnings declined in
the first quarter of the fiscal year, hit by a lower contribution
from Covid-19 antigen tests, restructuring costs and other cost
increases.
In the quarter ended Dec. 31, net profit fell 10% from the same
period of the previous fiscal year to 426 million euros ($468
million), while revenue was EUR5.08 billion, down 4.5% on a
comparable basis. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes
declined 28% to EUR647 million, while the EBIT margin narrowed to
12.7% from 17.6%.
Free cash flow, at negative EUR77 million, was below the
positive EUR556 million of the prior-year quarter. This was
primarily due to a buildup of inventory in preparation for an
expected rise in equipment revenue in subsequent quarters, the
German medical equipment maker said.
Siemens Healthineers confirmed its outlook for the year for
comparable revenue growth of between minus 1% and plus 1%, or 6% to
8% excluding revenue from rapid Covid-19 antigen tests. It expects
adjusted basic earnings per share of EUR2.00 to EUR2.20.
