Siemens Q2 Results: Net Profit Declines 25% Despite Uptick In Revenue
Siemens Ltd. posted a nearly 25% year-on-year decline in its standalone net profit in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, even as its revenue advanced during the period.
The company follows an October-September cycle, which makes the January-March period its second quarter.
The net profit came in at Rs 674 crore, as compared to Rs 896 crore in the year-ago period, according to an exchange filing on Tuesday.
Siemens Q2 Earnings Highlights (Standalone, YoY)
Revenue up 2.5% at Rs 3,809 crore versus Rs 3,716 crore
Ebitda declines 29.4% to Rs 386 crore versus Rs 547 crore
Margin contracts to 10.1% versus 14.7%
Net profit down 24.8% to Rs 674 crore versus Rs 896 crore
Orderbook Position
New orders rose 44% to Rs 5,305 crore versus Rs 3,697 crore.
Order backlog grew 7%.
The company's revenue grew marginally in the March quarter due to the ongoing normalisation of demand in digital industries, and due to normal project delivery schedules in the mobility business.
The decline in profit from operations was due to under absorption of fixed costs and higher cost of material in the digital industries business.
Additionally, the bottom line was impacted by an extraordinary gain of Rs 192 crore from the sale of property in the year-ago quarter, and demerger expenses of Rs 63 crore in the current quarter.
Commenting on the company's financial performance, Siemens India Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Sunil Mathur said, “In spite of the challenging macro environment, our order income grew by 44% driven by our mobility and smart infrastructure businesses where we see continued public capex spending on infrastructure. Our short cycle digital industries business, however, continues to be impacted by muted private capex spending."
Shares of Siemens settled 0.85% higher at Rs 2,921.5 apiece on the BSE, compared to a 1.55% decline in the benchmark Sensex. The quarterly results were declared barely a couple of minutes before the market's close.
