In its final moments as an independent wind supplier before shifting its wind activities to a new, merged company, Siemens managed to surge ahead.

The result was that the profit margin, which until recently sat well below five percent, increased to a two digit-figure of 10.3 percent.
"Our wind business delivered a convincing performance in the second quarter – that is, prior to the merger with Gamesa – with an exceptionally strong margin," says Ralf P. Thomas, CFO of Siemens AG, of the quarter.
