At 29.3 percent, return on equity still remained well above its
20-23 percent target in Q3; but here too there was a sharp decrease
on Q2, where the lessor reported ROE of 39.8 percent.
The lessor’s total portfolio of assets was €11.4 billion at the
end of the last quarter, up 1 percent year-on-year, but down on the
€11.9 billion it reported for its second quarter.
“The commercial finance business continued to generate higher
interest results that offset an increase in loss reserves and
write-offs,” Siemens said.
“Overall profitability benefited from lower operating expenses
and from positive effects in the equity business and internal
services business.”
