registered a quarterly net loss of 598 million euros ($643.4 million) for the quarter ended Dec. 31, from a loss of EUR246 million in the same period a year previous.

As previously reported in preliminary results, revenue rose to EUR7.06 billion from EUR5.96 billion, while orders were up 49% on year organically at EUR12.73 billion. Order growth was mainly driven by a large grid connection order in Germany and strong demand in the U.S., the company said.

Siemens Energy reiterated that it expects profit margin before special items between 1% and 3% in fiscal 2023 and net loss to be in line with the prior fiscal year. Pretax free cash flow is expected to be positive.
