Schneider Electric Full-Year Report 2022
Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and CEO, commented:
“We deliver a strong 2022, despite the multiple challenges confronting businesses and individuals around the world. The strategic choices we made in past years position ourselves on the twin trends of Electrification and Digitization as our customers seek greater sustainability and resilience. The transformation of our business over past years positions us well for the future and our offers have never been more relevant. The unique operating model we have developed, based on a balanced and empowered geographical organization, a strong digital capability combined with a focus on sustainability has allowed us to respond effectively to the challenges we face and to our customers’ needs.
We announce a year of record revenues, profitability, and net income. On free cash flow, we finished the year strongly, reflective of a progressive easing in supply chains and our ability to service the backlog we had built, which remains high. This strong performance allows us to deliver a progressive dividend for the 13th consecutive year, and we shall propose a dividend of €3.15 per share.
