  1. THIRD QUARTER REVENUES WERE UP +9% ORGANIC

2021 Q3 revenues were €7,221 million, up +8.8% organic and up +11.8% on a reported basis, accelerating sequentially in Q3 when compared to 2019 with September YTD up c.+7% organic vs. 2019 (June YTD up c.+6% vs. 2019).

Products (60% of Q3 revenues) grew +10% organic in Q3, with a similar level of growth in Energy Management and Industrial Automation. In Energy Management the growth was led by the Group's offer for Residential and small buildings, as well as offers for Industry, Infrastructure and Distributed IT markets. In Industrial Automation, growth was led by a continuation of strong sales to OEMs. Sales growth was supported by price actions taken throughout the year. The Group remained agile as it continued to deal with supply chain pressures which increased through the quarter.

Systems (22% of Q3 revenues) grew +7% organic in Q3. The Group's offers for Infrastructure and Data Center markets performed strongly, while for Industry there was good growth from sales into Discrete automation markets, while sales into Process & Hybrid markets remained challenged despite positive demand trends broadening across more geographies.

Software & Services (18% of Q3 revenues) grew +7% organic in Q3. Software and Digital Services grew double-digit organic in the quarter, with good traction across the Group's offers for Buildings, Data Centers, Industry and Smart Grids. RIB Software contributed strongly to the organic growth, while ETAP also performed well (included in scope effects for Q3). AVEVA grew high-single digit organic. Field Services grew low-single digit with performance in some countries, including the U.S., Australia and in South-East Asia, impacted by restricted site access due to COVID-19. The performance of the Group's Sustainability services continued to reflect the increasing importance of the topic with customers, showing strong double-digit growth.

Digital update: The Group continues to prioritize and track digital adoption with good progress in the growth of Assets under Management (AuM), reaching 5.5 million, up +47% year-on-year by the end of September 2021.

GROUP PERFORMANCE BY END MARKET

The Group sells its full portfolio into four main end-markets: Buildings, Data Center, Infrastructure and Industry, leveraging the complementary technologies of its Energy Management and Industrial Automation businesses.

  • Buildings - Residential markets continue to drive growth in most major economies linked to home electrical distribution. Demand for the Group's offers in technical non-residential buildings such as Hospitals, Healthcare, Life Science and Warehouse/Distribution remains strong while demand from Hotels and Commercial Offices grew at a lower pace.
  • Data Center - Data Center & Networks saw double-digit sales growth on the back of continued strong demand, though the quarter was impacted by some supply challenges. In the Data Center market, our technologies combining secure power as well as electrical distribution and software offers (which are sold to Co-location providers, Hyperscale, Telco's, Edge installations and multinational industrial/commercial customers) led the growth in the quarter. Customers continue to build capacity and facilities at both a local and regional level to reduce latency and improve data security and sovereignty. The Group's offers for Distributed IT continued to perform strongly.
  • Infrastructure - In Q3 the Group continued to execute on existing large projects with offers from both businesses. The Group continues to grow sales to Grid operators as countries prioritize grid stability, resilience and digitization as a key part of decarbonization pledges. In the quarter, the Group saw strong growth from its Smart Grid offers including ADMS, specific EcoStruxure Advisors, and good traction with

Microgrid operators. There were good project wins from the Transportation and Water and Wastewater

  • (WWW) segments, incorporating offers from both businesses.

  • Industry - Discrete automation markets continued to contribute strong revenue growth, where OEM demand has been boosted by pumping, material handling and packaging segments, with offers from both businesses. In Process & Hybrid automation markets, there was a continuation of demand recovery in the Oil & Gas (O&G) segment, helped by the rise in oil prices, though with limited positive impact on sales growth as yet. The group saw strong traction for offers from both businesses in Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) and Metals, Mining & Minerals (MMM).

Group trends by geography:

North America (30% of Q3 revenues) was up +10.6% organic. The U.S. was up double-digit organic vs. Q3 2019.

In Energy Management, which grew +11.3% organic, U.S., Canada and Mexico each delivered double-digit growth. Even factoring in some capacity constraints on the supply chain, U.S. sales were driven by continuing strong Residential markets supported by electrical code changes, and technical building demand, with good Data Center growth and continuing Utilities growth. Canadian sales growth was driven by residential demand. Mexican sales growth was driven by Residential and Infrastructure markets.

In Industrial Automation, which grew +6.7% organic, the U.S. delivered solid growth overall, driven by double- digit growth in discrete automation markets particularly OEM, while sales into Process & Hybrid automation markets remained subdued despite a recovery in O&G demand. Canada grew double-digit, mainly in discrete automation markets while Mexico saw double-digit growth in both discrete and Process & Hybrid automation markets.

Across the region, Field service grew in both Energy Management and Industrial Automation but was impacted by a slow opening of sites after COVID-19 related lockdowns earlier in the year.

Western Europe (24% of Q3 revenues) grew +5.2% organic and delivered solid growth against Q3'19 despite supply chain constraints. Demand was driven by strength in Residential, Data Center and Industrial OEM, and exceeded sales growth in the region.

Energy Management grew +3.5% organic. Germany and Spain each saw strong growth driven by a continuation of residential demand trends. Italy grew mid-single digit, mainly from sales into Residential and Data Center end-markets, while the U.K. and France each saw solid growth, up low-single digit, supported by good performance in Non-Residential technical buildings, though impacted by some supply chain pressures.

In Industrial Automation, which grew +10.3% organic, France, Italy and Spain grew double-digit while the U.K. grew high single-digit, all benefitting from demand in discrete automation markets, with France also seeing some contribution from Process & Hybrid markets. Germany saw mid-single digit growth with discrete automation markets relatively stronger than Process & Hybrid, despite supply chain pressures including from component shortages.
