Sales revenue at Digital Industries remained the same on a like-for-like basis and amounted to EUR 4.893 billion (Q3/2023: EUR 4.976 billion). Incoming orders increased by 21% to 4.540 billion euros. Earnings rose by 3% to EUR 1.1 billion, while the earnings margin improved by one percentage point to 22.9%. This growth is primarily attributable to a very strong software business. A whole series of large orders for software licenses, particularly from the Asia, Australia and America regions, ensured growth of 82% on a comparable basis. Like some other companies on the market, Siemens would also like to introduce a software-as-a-service model. It therefore remains to be seen how the software business will develop thereafter.
