Munich, Germany, Siemens increased both orders and revenue year-over-year in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 for the first time in more than a year. Orders of nearly €21 billion were up 22 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Revenue rose slightly to just over €19 billion. The book-to-bill ratio – the ratio of orders to revenue – was therefore again above one. Orders and revenue both benefited from currency translation effects. Total Sectors profit climbed 40 percent year-over-year, to a record high of slightly over €2.3 billion. “Siemens gained further momentum in the third quarter,” said Siemens President and CEO Peter Löscher. “Such order growth last occurred in 2008.
