Siemens figures in detail: the 4th quarter of 2018

In the Power and Gas Division, order intake was driven by several major orders in the service business. However, Siemens had to accept a decline in revenue across the board in the fourth quarter of 2018 - a consequence of the weak order intake in previous periods. The Group attributed the negative result to personnel restructuring expenses totaling EUR 301 million as well as continued declines in sales revenue and prices. (The order intake and revenue figures are stated on a comparable basis, i.e. excluding currency translation and portfolio effects).
