Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also increased significantly to €589m in Q2 FY24 from €189m in Q2 FY23.  

Adjusted EBIT rose by 8% year-on-year to €822m in Q2 FY24 from €764m in last year’s Q2, resulting in an adjusted EBIT margin of 15.1%, higher than the 14.3% reported in the prior-year Q2.  

The company attributed this growth to revenue increases and cost reductions from the transformation programme of the Diagnostics business, despite negative currency effects. 

Siemens Healthineers reported a good equipment book-to-bill ratio of 1.08 in Q2 FY24. 

However, free cash flow decreased to €120m from €517, primarily due to a rise in operating working capital.  

Looking ahead to the full fiscal year 2024, the company maintains its expectation of comparable revenue growth to range between 4.5% and 6.5% over FY23.  

Excluding revenue from rapid Covid-19 antigen tests, this corresponds to comparable revenue growth of between 5.0% and 7.0%.  

The expectation for adjusted basic EPS remains unchanged at between €2.10 and €2.30.  

Siemens Healthineers CEO Bernd Montag said: “The Healthineers team has continued its successful growth trajectory, even relative to an excellent prior-year quarter. After an overall strong first half of the year, we are once again well on our way to achieving our targets for the financial year.”
