What has driven performance in 3QFY10?
- Siemens reported 17% YoY growth in sales for 3QFY10, while for 9mFY10 the company saw a 7% rise in sales. Segment wise, a rise in the business volumes of Siemens’ industry healthcare, distribution and oil & gas segments drove the topline growth during the quarter. However, the mobility business was the dampener during 3QFY10 as it saw a 35% YoY fall in sales and contributed 7% to the overall topline.

The drive technology and oil & gas business segments, with a big fall in PBIT margins, contributed towards the overall contraction in margins during the quarter.
- Siemens' net profits witnessed a fall of 54% YoY during 3QFY10. This was due to a onetime extraordinary gain in the same quarter of last fiscal. On excluding the same, profits grew by 23% during the quarter. For the first nine months, net profits were lower by 35% YoY. However, if one were to remove the extraordinary dividends received by the company from its erstwhile subsidiaries during 9mFY09, profits for the half year period fell by a lesser 16% YoY.
What to expect?
At the current price of Rs 721, the stock is trading at a multiple of 23.4 times our estimated FY12 earnings. Siemens' order backlog as at the end of June 2010 stood at Rs 135 bn, an increase of 34% over last year. The company booked orders worth Rs 94 bn during the nine months, thus registering an increase of 52% YoY over 9mFY09. The company has seen a strong growth in short cycle business (products) over the last nine months of FY10. It also has a robust order backlog from its long cycle projects business which will help the company going forward. However, we continue to maintain a cautious view on the stock (Research Pro subscribers kindly click Here).|
