0

gasworld Business Intelligence provides you with the latest analysis of Linde’s Q1 2017 earnings report.

Headlines

  • Total corporate sales in Q1 were reported at €4.39bn. This was an increase of over 6% YoY, or 4% growth when adjusted for currency. This was a further improvement over the previous 3 quarters, which had shown the weakest reported performance since late 2013.
  • Gases account for over 80% of Linde corporate sales, with Engineering under 20%. Other businesses (mainly Gist distribution) have been moved into discontinued business, as Linde seeks to divest this business.
  • Reported Gases growth also accelerated to nearly 5% YoY in Q1, which was significantly better than the previous year. This again shows growth of around 2% on a comparable basis.
  • Engineering sales increased over 14% YoY in Q1 but, at $648m, remained below the average of recent years. Order intake was up, but backlog was again down YoY.
