Siemens' net profit falls 17 per cent

Tougher economic times have meant Industrial equipment maker Siemens AG's net profit fell 17 per cent to 1.457 billion euros ($A1.81 billion).

Industrial equipment maker Siemens AG says net profit fell 17 per cent to 1.457 billion euros ($A1.81 billion) as project delays held down profits and the uncertain global economy cut into order volume.

Revenue grew three per cent to 17.9 billion euros ($A22.23 billion).

The Munich-based company on Tuesday said it took 203 million euros ($A252.06 million) in charges from a delay in getting permission to connect offshore wind farms to the power grid in Germany.

New orders slipped five per cent. The company said higher research and investment costs also reduced profit.

Siemens' products include trains, power generators and transmission equipment, and medical diagnostic machines.

  • Spear Phishing Attacks - Why they are successful and how to stop them
    There's been a rapid shift from broad, scattershot attacks to advanced target attacks that have had serious consequences for victim organisations. The increased use of spear phishing is directly related to the fact that it works, as traditional security defences simply do not stop these types of attacks.
