July 1 to September 30, 2012

Munich, Germany, November 8, 2012

Strong Close to Fiscal 2012

Q4 cash hits new high

Full-year outlook achieved

 

Peter Löscher, President and Chief Executive

Officer of Siemens AG

 

LOGO

”A strong fourth quarter enabled us to fulfill our expectations for fiscal 2012 and achieve one of our best years ever. Even so, we didn’t fully succeed in significantly boosting our performance vis-à-vis competitors, as we did in recent years. To get back to reaching our own goals,

we’ve launched “Siemens 2014,” a company-wide program aimed at raising our Total Sectors profit margin to at least 12 percent. We know what we have to do — and we’re doing it.”

 

Revenue for the fourth quarter rose 7% year-over-year, to 21.703 billion, and orders rose 2% to 21.495 billion. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue was up 1% and orders declined 4%.

 

 

Total Sectors profit was 2.119 billion, held back by substantial profit impacts in the Energy Sector.

 

 

Income from continuing operations was 1.479 billion and corresponding basic EPS was 1.63.

 

 

An outstanding fourth-quarter cash performance in the Sectors lifted Free cash flow from continuing operations to 4.343 billion, well above last year’s strong closing quarter.

 

 

For fiscal 2012, revenue rose 7% year-over-year, to 78.296 billion, while orders came in 10% lower, at 76.913 billion, due to a significantly lower volume from large orders compared to the prior year. Total Sectors Profit was 7.543 billion and income from continuing operations was 5.184 billion. Siemens proposes a dividend of 3.00 per share, unchanged from fiscal 2011.

Orders and Revenue

 

Backlog softens impact of weaker market environment

Revenue rose 7% compared to the prior-year quarter, supported by Siemens’ order backlog (defined as the sum of the order backlogs of the Sectors). Slowing growth in the world economy was evident in the development of new orders, which were up 2%. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 1% and orders declined 4%. The book-to-bill ratio for Siemens overall was 0.99, and the order backlog was 98 billion at the end of the quarter.

Higher revenue in all Sectors and regions

All Sectors reported revenue growth in the fourth quarter with tailwinds from currency translation effects. Energy and Healthcare posted double-digit increases on broad-based growth.

On a geographic basis, revenue rose in all three regions, led by 14% growth in the Americas. Emerging markets on a global basis grew 3% year-over-year, and accounted for 7.416 billion, or 34%, of total revenue for the quarter.

Mixed picture for order development

Energy and Healthcare recorded higher fourth-quarter orders year-over-year, including strong demand at Fossil Power Generation and Diagnostics. Infrastructure & Cities saw orders fall from the prior-year level, which included a higher volume from large orders. Currency tailwinds benefited order development in all Sectors.

On a geographic basis, orders in the Americas and Asia, Australia showed clear growth. The region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Africa and the Middle East (Europe/CAME) showed a moderate decline. Emerging markets on a global basis grew 1% year-over-year and accounted for 6.882 billion, or 32%, of total orders for the quarter.

Income and Profit

 

Substantial burdens on Total Sectors profit

Total Sectors profit was 2.119 billion in the current period, down from 2.428 billion in the prior-year quarter. The decline was due mainly to Energy, which recorded 566 million in profit impacts. The largest of these stemmed from conditions affecting the energy industry in Iran. Energy also took charges related to Olkiluoto and offshore grid connections. Total Sectors profit in the current period was further burdened by 62  million in charges related to severance programs in Industry and Infrastructure & Cities, as well as 40 million in charges related to Agenda 2013 in Healthcare. These factors were only partly offset by 127 million in gains related to changes in other post-employment benefits (OPEB) in the U.S., which benefited results at all Sectors, particularly Healthcare. For comparison, Total Sectors profit in the prior-year period was held back by negative effects from commodity hedging activities totaling 88 million.

Industry led all Sectors with profit of 726 million in the current period, down 6% from the high level achieved a year earlier in a more favorable business environment. Energy’s profit fell sharply year-over-year due to the profit impacts mentioned above. In contrast, both the Healthcare and the Infrastructure & Cities Sectors turned in strong fourth-quarter performances with profit of 631 million and 416  million, respectively.

Improved results outside the Sectors

Income from continuing operations was 1.479 billion, down from 1.513 billion a year earlier. Corresponding basic EPS was 1.63 compared to 1.66 in the prior-year period. These declines were due to Total Sectors profit, as results outside the Sectors improved year-over-year. In particular, Equity Investments posted a profit of 44 million compared to a loss in the prior-year period, and Siemens Real Estate (SRE) generated higher income from real estate disposals.

Lower loss from discontinued operations

Net income in the fourth quarter was 1.268 billion, with a corresponding basic EPS of 1.39. A year earlier, net income was 1.231 billion and corresponding EPS was 1.34. Within net income, discontinued operations posted a loss of 211 million in the fourth quarter, improved from a loss of 283 million a year earlier.

During the quarter Siemens decided to divest its solar thermal and photovoltaic business (solar business), and classified it as discontinued operations on a retrospective basis. The loss related to the solar business was 173 million in the fourth quarter, including impairment charges totaling 150  million (pre-tax). A year earlier, the loss was 286 million including impairment charges of 231 million (pre-tax). Income from discontinued operations in the current period was burdened also by a negative tax effect of 122 million related to former

Communications activities. Income from discontinued operations related to OSRAM was 87  million, compared to 54  million in the prior-year period. OSRAM reported a 3% increase in fourth-quarter revenue year-over-year. On a comparable basis, revenue was 3% lower.

Cash, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), Pension Funded Status

 

Strong year-end cash performance

An outstanding cash performance in the Sectors lifted Free cash flow at the Sector level to 4.781 billion, up 13% from an already high level in the same period a year earlier. The current period includes improvements in net working capital management including significant reductions in inventories. Cash flow also benefited from a higher level of collections within receivables and earlier-than-expected payments from customers. Free cash flow from continuing operations climbed to 4.343 billion in the current quarter, due mainly to the strong cash performance at the Sector level, particularly in Energy, and positive effects in Corporate Treasury activities.

Siemens issued bonds totaling 2.7 billion under extraordinarily favorable conditions in September 2012. The increase in liquidity will be used in part to finance Siemens’ share buyback program. The bond offering and share buyback are financing activities and therefore not part of Free cash flow.

Underfunding increases on change in discount rate

The underfunding of Siemens’ pension plans as of September 30, 2012, amounted to 9.0 billion, compared to an estimated underfunding of 8.0 billion at the end of the third quarter. Siemens’ defined benefit obligation (DBO) increased in the fourth quarter due primarily to a further decrease in the discount rate assumption as of September 30, 2012, and from accrued service and interest cost. The impact of these factors on pension funding was partly offset by a positive actual return on plan assets and employer contributions. As of September 30, 2011, the underfunding of Siemens’ pension plans amounted to 6.2 billion.

Sectors      5

Energy Sector

 

Revenue and order growth, substantial impacts on profit

Due to classification of Energy’s solar business as discontinued operations in the fourth quarter, the Sector no longer reports results for the former Renewable Energy business. Results for wind power activities are now reported on a stand-alone basis.

Energy Sector profit was 346 million in the fourth quarter, sharply below 808 million in the same quarter a year earlier due mainly to 566 million in profit impacts. In accordance with project accounting principles, the Sector recorded 327 million in profit impacts stemming from a fourth-quarter change in credit risk assessment for Iran. This change affected projects conducted under Siemens’ previously disclosed policies regarding Iran, addressing sanctions and other forms of trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. and European Union or other countries or organizations. The Sector also took 133 million in charges related to capacity adjustments in certain transmission businesses and challenges with offshore grid connection projects, and a burden of 106  million associated with Olkiluoto.

At the Division level, positive earnings performances at Fossil Power Generation and Wind Power were more than offset by losses at Oil & Gas and Power Transmission. The Sector posted higher expenses for R&D, marketing and selling associated with business expansion year-over-year. Energy’s share of the OPEB gain mentioned earlier was 19 million.

The Sector continued to convert its large order backlog into current business, generating an 11% increase in fourth-quarter revenue year-over-year. Revenue growth included a 35% increase at Wind Power. On a geographic basis, the Americas and Asia, Australia saw substantial increases, while revenue in Europe/CAME was only slightly above the prior-year level. Orders came in 10% higher year-over-year, including a significantly higher volume of large orders compared to a year earlier particularly at Fossil Power Generation. Both the Americas and Asia, Australia delivered double-digit order increases. Reported revenue and orders both benefited from positive currency translation effects. Energy’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.14 and its order backlog was 55 billion at the end of the quarter. The Sector expects further profit impacts related to Iran in coming quarters.

Higher revenues, favorable mix, strong profit

Fossil Power Generation delivered 376  million in profit, clearly below the prior-year quarter due primarily to charges of 106 million related to Olkiluoto and 33 million of the

Sector’s Iran impact. The Division’s services and products businesses partially offset these burdens with significantly increased profit on a combination of higher revenue and a more favorable revenue mix. Fourth-quarter spending for marketing and selling activities was higher year-over-year. Revenue for Fossil Power Generation

was up 14% on increases in all reporting regions, most notably in Asia, Australia and the Americas. Fourth-quarter orders climbed 43% compared to the prior-year period, which included a significantly lower volume from large orders. This effect was most notable in the Americas region.

Backlog conversion drives profit growth

Wind Power generated a 35% increase in fourth-quarter revenue on conversion of orders from the backlog. All three reporting regions contributed to the increase, with growth in the Americas supported strongly by positive currency translation effects. Higher revenue took fourth-quarter profit up to 134 million despite higher expenses for R&D, marketing and selling associated with business expansion. The Division took in orders of 2.305 billion, nearly matching the high level of the prior-year quarter. Both periods included large off-shore orders in Europe/CAME. With the expected near-term expiration of tax incentives in the U.S., orders in the Americas nearly ceased and the Division focused on growth in other regions, winning a number of major projects in Europe/CAME and Asia, Australia. Given market developments in the U.S., Wind Power announced plans to reduce its production capacity. The Division expects challenging market conditions, including substantial pricing pressure, to continue in coming quarters.

Charges offset operating performance

Oil & Gas reported a loss of 111 million in the fourth quarter. Profit impacts stemming from the change in credit risk assessment for Iran totaled 275 million. In other respects Oil & Gas performed well, including a higher earnings contribution from its services business. The Division reduced fourth-quarter revenue by 282 million of revenue recognized in prior periods

from projects in Iran. This resulted in a sharp decrease in revenue in Europe/CAME. Orders came in 6% higher year-over-year due particularly to growth in the services business. Both revenue and order development benefited significantly from portfolio and currency translation effects.

Capacity adjustments and continued project challenges

Power Transmission posted a loss of 40  million in the fourth quarter, compared to profit of 155 million a year earlier. The Division took another 67 million in charges related to grid connections to offshore wind-farms, charges of 66 million to address structural issues in its transformers business, and 19  million of the Sector’s Iran impact. In addition, profit was held back by the conversion of lower-margin orders booked in prior periods with significant pricing pressure. Revenue was up 7% year-over-year, with growth coming mainly from Europe/CAME. Orders were down 15%, due in part to a lower volume of large orders. On a geographic basis, a sharp increase in orders in the Americas was more than offset by a sharp decline in Europe/CAME. The Division expects continuing challenges in coming quarters related to connections to offshore wind-farms in Germany and structural issues in certain businesses.

Sectors      7

Healthcare Sector

 

Strong year-end performance

Healthcare delivered 631  million in profit in the fourth quarter, compared to 494 million in the same period a year earlier, led by strong earnings performance from its imaging and therapy systems businesses. The Sector took 40  million in charges related to its Agenda 2013 initiative. This was more than offset by the Sector’s 49 million portion of the OPEB gain in the U.S. mentioned earlier. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period included a loss of 32 million on the sale of a healthcare IT business in France, largely offset by the release of reserves totaling 26 million related to a customer loan and receivables in the audiology business. Healthcare expects additional charges related to Agenda 2013 in coming quarters.

Profit at Diagnostics rose to 86 million from 63 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by higher revenue and also benefiting from 9 million of the OPEB gain mentioned above. The current period included 14  million of the Agenda 2013 charges mentioned above. Purchase price allocation (PPA) effects related to past acquisitions at Diagnostics were 44 million in the fourth quarter. A year earlier, Diagnostics recorded 42  million in PPA effects.

Healthcare revenue came in 11% higher compared to the prior-year quarter, including broad-based growth among its businesses. Order development reflected the high basis of comparison in the prior-year period as well as Healthcare’s previously disclosed exit from the radiation oncology business. Favorable currency translation effects contributed seven percentage points to both revenue and order growth for the current quarter.

On a geographic basis Asia, Australia and the Americas contributed double-digit growth to revenue. Orders growth was driven by a double-digit increase in Asia, Australia. Healthcare’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.05, and its order backlog was 7 billion at the end of the quarter.

The Diagnostics business made a strong contribution to Healthcare’s growth in the fourth quarter. Revenue climbed 13%, to 1.055 billion from 935  million in the prior-year period, including eight percentage points from positive currency translation effects. Diagnostics showed the same revenue development as the Sector with regard to the regions.

Industry Sector

 

 

 

Solid year-end quarter in less favorable markets

In a challenging market environment, fourth-quarter profit in Industry declined year-over-year, to 726 million, due in part to higher expenses for marketing, selling and general administrative expenses compared to the prior-year period and lower contributions from the Sector’s renewable energy offerings. The Sector also took 28 million in charges related to severance programs for adjusting capacity and optimizing its portfolio related to those offerings. These factors were only partially offset by Industry’s 30  million portion of the OPEB gain mentioned earlier and a gain of 22  million from a settlement related to a supplier warranty. Profit in the prior-year period was held back by negative effects related to commodity hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting as mentioned earlier.

Industry reported fourth-quarter revenue growth of 2%, with higher revenue in the Americas more than offsetting modest decreases in other regions. On a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue declined by 2%. Orders came in 3% lower compared to the fourth quarter a year earlier, due primarily to a sharp decline in the metals technologies business. Orders were down 7% on a comparable basis, including decreases in all three reporting regions. The Sector’s book-to-bill ratio was 0.86 and its order backlog was 11 billion at the quarter’s end.

Strong profit performance in less favorable environment

Industry Automation delivered profit of 403  million in the fourth quarter, near the level reached in the prior-year period despite a less favorable product mix and 7  million of the severance charges for portfolio optimization mentioned above. The current quarter also included higher marketing and selling, general and administrative expenses and lower earnings from the Division’s offerings for renewable energy. These negative factors were only partly offset by 12 million of the OPEB gain mentioned above. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 6% and orders increased 7% year-over-year. On a comparable basis, revenue and orders were up slightly compared to the prior-year period. PPA effects related to the acquisition of UGS Corp. in fiscal 2007 were 39 million in the fourth quarter compared to 34 million in the same quarter a year earlier.

Profit declines on less favorable business mix

Fourth-quarter profit at Drive Technologies fell to 286 million due to a number of factors, including a less favorable business mix, lower earnings from its offerings for renewable energy, and higher marketing, selling and general administrative costs compared to the prior-year period. The Division’s portion of the severance charges mentioned above was 20 million. These factors were only partially offset by the 22 million warranty gain mentioned above as well as 15 million of the OPEB gain mentioned above. Profit in the prior-year period was impacted by negative effects related to commodities as described earlier. Drive Technologies reported a 4% increase in revenue and a 3% decline in orders compared to the prior-year period. On a comparable basis, revenue was down 1% while orders declined 7%.

Infrastructure & Cities Sector

 

Sector posts strong Q4 profit contribution

Profit for Infrastructure & Cities climbed to 416 million in the fourth quarter, a 17% increase year-over-year driven by higher profit at the Power Grid Solutions & Products business and the Building Technologies Division. Profit benefited from the Sector’s 30 million portion of the OPEB gain mentioned earlier, and the Sector’s interest in Atos S.A. generated a positive contribution to earnings compared to a loss in the prior-year quarter. These positive factors were largely offset by 34 million in charges related to severance programs and a profit impact of 20  million related to Iran.

Fourth-quarter revenue increased 5% year-over-year on growth across the Sector’s businesses. Orders came in lower compared to the prior-year period, which included a higher volume from large orders at the Transportation & Logistics business. On a regional basis, revenue was up in the Americas and Europe/CAME, while it declined in Asia, Australia. Favorable currency translation effects contributed five percentage points to revenue growth and four percentage points to order development. Infrastructure & Cities’ book-to-bill ratio was 0.88 and its order backlog was 24 billion at the end of the quarter.

Conversion of lower-margin orders impacts profit

The Transportation & Logistics business, which includes Siemens’ Rail Systems Division and its Mobility and Logistics Division, recorded fourth-quarter profit of 73 million, down 27% year-over-year. Profit in the current period was burdened by the above-mentioned profit impact of 20 million related to Iran and 8 million of the Sector’s severance charges.

While revenue rose 4%, the business mix was less favorable due to lower margins associated with large long-term contracts from prior periods, which are now being converted to current business. Fourth-quarter orders came in substantially lower year-over-year due to a lower volume from major orders compared to the prior-year period.

Strong fourth quarter for profit

The Power Grid Solutions & Products business, which includes Siemens’ Low and Medium Voltage Division and Smart Grid Division, posted fourth-quarter profit of 200 million, substantially above the prior-year level. This result was driven in part by broad-based 7% revenue growth compared to the same quarter a year earlier. The business took 11 million of the Sector’s severance charges. This was more than offset by 14 million of the OPEB gain mentioned above. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period was impacted by negative effects related to commodities as described earlier. Orders rose moderately, due mainly to demand for smart grid offerings. On a regional basis, revenue growth was driven by the Americas, while order growth in the Americas and Europe/CAME was partly offset by lower demand in Asia, Australia.

Revenue growth drives profit increase

Fourth-quarter profit at Building Technologies came in at 153 million, well above the prior-year period. The Division took 15 million of the Sector’s severance charges mentioned above, more than offsetting 9 million from the OPEB gain mentioned above. Revenue was up 7% compared to the prior-year period. Orders for the quarter also rose year-over-year, driven by demand for energy efficiency solutions. On a regional basis, revenue was up in all three regions while order growth was driven by Europe/CAME.

Equity Investments and Financial Services

Profit from Equity Investments

 

Equity Investments recorded a profit of 44 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a loss of 49 million in the same period a year earlier. The improvement was due to Siemens’ equity stake in Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN), which resulted in equity investment income of 28 million in the current period compared

to a loss of 76  million in the fourth quarter a year ago. NSN reported to Siemens that it recorded restructuring charges and associated items totaling 74 million in the current quarter compared to 26 million in the prior-year period. Results from Equity Investments are expected to be volatile in coming quarters.

 

 

Lower income from Financial Services

Financial Services (SFS) continued to successfully execute its growth strategy, which led to an increase in interest results. The increase was more than offset by associated growth in operating expenses and higher credit hits compared to the prior year period. Due primarily to these factors, profit(defined as income before income

taxes) came in at 100 million compared to 123  million in the prior-year period. The growth strategy at SFS has led to a significant build-up in total assets, from 14.602 billion at the end of fiscal 2011 to 17.405 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, including positive currency translation effects.

Corporate Items, Corporate Activities and Eliminations

 

Lower loss at Corporate items

Corporate items and pensions

totaled a negative 297 million in the fourth quarter compared to a negative 398 million in the same period a year earlier. The loss at Corporate items narrowed to 283 million from a loss of 415  million in the prior-year

period. Expenses related to reimbursements to Atos S.A. were 23 million in the current quarter, compared to 53 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition, the prior-year period included a provision of 54 million related to regional risks.

Centrally carried pension expense totaled a negative 14 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a positive 18 million in the prior-year period.

International Accounting Standard 19 Revised (IAS 19R)

In fiscal 2013, income from continuing operations will be significantly affected by early adoption of IAS 19R, which will be applied retrospectively. Had IAS 19R been applied in fiscal 2012, the impact on income from continuing operations would have been a negative 292 million after tax, due primarily to an increase in centrally carried pension expense.

Higher gains on real estate disposals

Income before income taxes at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) was 88 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to 2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. This increase is mainly attributable to substantially higher income related to the disposal of real estate. SRE expects to continue with real estate disposals depending on market conditions.

Reduced results from Corporate Treasury activities

Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items was a negative 16  million in the fourth quarter compared to a positive 24 million in the same period a year earlier. The primary factor in the change year-over-year was reduced results from Corporate Treasury activities due mainly to negative currency effects relating to corporate financing activities, partly offset by positive changes in the fair market value of interest rate derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting used for interest rate management.

 

 

 

Outlook

In fiscal 2013, Siemens begins implementation of “Siemens 2014,” a company-wide program supporting our One Siemens framework for sustainable value creation. The goal of the program is to raise our Total Sectors profit margin to at least 12% by fiscal 2014.

In the first year of the program, we expect moderate order growth and revenue approaching the level of fiscal 2012, both on an organic basis. We expect income from continuing operations in the range from 4.5 to 5.0 billion, including the effect of retrospective adoption of IAS 19R. This includes charges totaling approximately 1.0 billion for program-related productivity

measures in the Sectors, with the productivity gains realized in our results for fiscal 2014.

This outlook is based on a number of conditions, notably that revenue develops as expected particularly for businesses that are sensitive to short-term changes in the economic environment. Furthermore, it excludes impacts related to legal and regulatory matters and significant portfolio effects.

This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “looks forward to,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “project” or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to stockholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens’ management, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect Siemens’ operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or anticipated on the basis of historical trends. These factors include in particular, but are not limited to, the matters described in Item 3: Risk factors of our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, in the chapter “Risks” of our most recent annual report prepared in accordance with the German Commercial Code, and in the chapter “Report on risks and opportunities” of our most recent interim report.

Further information about risks and uncertainties affecting Siemens is included throughout our most recent annual, and interim reports as well as our most recent

earnings release, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com, and throughout our most recent annual report on Form 20-F and in our other filings with the SEC, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com, and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as being expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Siemens neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

Legal proceedings

Information regarding investigations and other legal proceedings, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential financial impact on Siemens, is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2011 (Consolidated Financial Statements).

Significant developments regarding investigations and other legal proceedings that have occurred since the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.

Public corruption proceedings

Governmental and related proceedings

As previously reported, in May 2011 Siemens AG voluntarily reported a case of attempted public corruption in connection with a 2010 project in Kuwait to the U.S. Department of Justice, the SEC, and the Munich public prosecutor. The Munich public prosecutor discontinued the investigations, which related to certain former employees, but it imposed conditions. Siemens is cooperating with the U.S. authorities in their ongoing investigations.

As previously reported, Siemens AG had filed a request for arbitration against the Republic of Argentina (Argentina) with the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) of the World Bank. Siemens AG claimed that Argentina had unlawfully terminated its contract with Siemens for the development and operation of a system for the production of identity cards, border control, collection of data and voters’ registers (DNI project) and thereby violated the Bilateral Investment Protection Treaty between Argentina and Germany (BIT). A unanimous decision on the merits was rendered by the ICSID arbitration tribunal in February 2007, awarding Siemens AG, inter alia, compensation in the amount of US$217.8 million, plus compound interest thereon at a rate of 2.66% since May 18, 2001. Argentina subsequently filed applications with the ICSID aiming at the annulment and reversal of the decision and a stay of enforcement of the arbitral award. In August 2009, Argentina and Siemens AG reached an agreement to mutually settle the case and discontinue any and all civil proceedings in connection with the case without acknowledging any legal obligations or claims. No payment was made by either party. As previously reported, the Argentinean Anti-Corruption Authority is conducting an investigation against individuals into


Table of Contents

corruption of government officials in connection with the award of the contract for the DNI project to Siemens in 1998. Searches were undertaken at the premises of Siemens Argentina and Siemens IT Services S.A. in Buenos Aires in August 2008 and in February 2009. The Company is cooperating with the Argentinean Authorities. The Argentinean investigative judge also repeatedly requested judicial assistance from the Munich public prosecutor and the federal court in New York. In December 2011, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. Department of Justice filed an indictment against nine individuals based on the same facts as the investigation of the Argentinean Anti-Corruption Authority. Most of these individuals are former Siemens employees. The former member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Dr. Uriel Sharef, is also involved. Siemens AG is not party to the proceedings.

As previously reported, in February 2010 a Greek Parliamentary Investigation Committee (GPIC) was established to investigate whether any politicians or other state officials in Greece were involved in alleged wrong-doing of Siemens in Greece. The GPIC’s investigation was focused on possible criminal liability of politicians and other state officials. Greek public prosecutors are separately investigating certain fraud and bribery allegations involving — among others — former board members and former executives of Siemens A.E., Elektronische Projekte und Erzeugnisse, Greece (Siemens A.E.) and Siemens AG. In January 2011, the GPIC alleged in a letter to Siemens A.E. that the damage suffered by the Greek state amounted to at least 2 billion. Furthermore, the GPIC issued a report repeating these allegations. In addition, the Hellenic Republic Minister of State indicated in a letter to Siemens that the Greek state will seek compensation from Siemens for the alleged damage. On April 5, 2012, the Greek Parliament approved a settlement agreement between Siemens and the Greek State, the material provisions of which include the following: Siemens waives public sector receivables in the amount of 80 million. Furthermore Siemens agrees to spend a maximum of 90 million on various anti-corruption and transparency initiatives, as well as university and research programs and to provide 100  million of financial support to Siemens A.E. to ensure its continued presence in Greece. In exchange, the Greek State agrees to waive all civil claims and all administrative fines related to the corruption allegations and to utilize best efforts to resolve all pending disputes between Siemens and the Greek state-companies or its public authorities.

In February 2012, the Munich public prosecutor notified Siemens AG of a request for mutual assistance in criminal matters by a foreign authority. The investigation of the foreign authority involves a Siemens subsidiary located in North West Europe in connection with alleged payments to employees of a Russian company between 1999 and 2006. Siemens is cooperating with the authorities.

The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in several jurisdictions around the world. As a result, additional criminal or civil sanctions could be brought against the Company itself or against certain of its employees in connection with possible violations of law. In addition, the scope of pending investigations may be expanded and new investigations commenced in connection with allegations of bribery or other illegal acts. The Company’s operating activities, financial results and reputation may also be negatively affected, particularly as a result of penalties, fines, disgorgements, compensatory damages, third-party litigation, including with competitors, the formal or informal exclusion from public invitations to tender, or the loss of business licenses or permits. Additional expenses and provisions, which could be material, may need to be recorded in the future for penalties, fines, damages or other charges in connection with the investigations.

Civil litigation

As previously reported, Siemens AG reached a settlement with nine out of eleven former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board on December 2, 2009. The settlement relates to claims of breaches of organizational and supervisory duties in view of the accusations of illegal business practices that occurred in the course of international business transactions in the years 2003 to 2006 and the resulting financial burdens for the Company. The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting approved all nine settlements between the Company and the former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board on January 26, 2010. The shareholders also approved a settlement agreement between the Company and its directors and officers insurers regarding claims in connection with the D&O insurance of up to 100 million. Siemens recorded 96 million gains, net of costs, from the D&O insurance and the nine settlements. On January 25, 2010, Siemens AG filed a lawsuit with the Munich District Court I against the two former board members who were not willing to settle, Thomas Ganswindt and Heinz-Joachim Neubürger, which is currently pending. Siemens AG and Mr. Ganswindt are in discussions to resolve the matter.

Antitrust proceedings

As previously reported, in February 2007, the European Commission launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving European producers of power transformers, including Siemens AG and VA Technologie AG (VA Tech), which Siemens acquired in July 2005. The German Antitrust Authority (Bundeskartellamt) has become involved in the proceeding and is responsible for investigating those allegations that relate to the German market. Power transformers are electrical equipment used as major components in electric transmission systems in order to adapt voltages. On October 7, 2009, the European Commission imposed fines totaling

67.644 million on seven companies with regard to a territorial market sharing agreement related to Japan and Europe. Siemens was not fined because it had voluntarily disclosed this aspect of the case to the authorities. The German Antitrust Authority continued its investigation with regard to the German market. In September 2012, the German Antitrust Authority and the Company ended the legal proceeding by entering into a settlement agreement. Siemens agreed to pay a fine in the single-digit euro million range.

As previously reported, in October 2011, the local Antitrust Authority in Rovno, Ukraine, notified Siemens Ukraine of an investigation into anti-competitive practices in connection with a delivery of medical equipment to a public hospital in 2010. Siemens cooperated with the authority. The authority imposed a fine in an amount equivalent to 4,000. Siemens Ukraine did not appeal the decision.

As previously reported, in September 2011, the Competition Commission of Pakistan requested Siemens Pakistan Engineering Co. Ltd., Pakistan (Siemens Pakistan), to present its legal position regarding an alleged anti-competitive arrangement since 2007 in the field of transformers and air-insulated switchgears. In December 2011, Siemens Pakistan filed a leniency application. In April 2012, the Competition Commission of Pakistan accepted the leniency application and granted Siemens Pakistan a 100 percent penalty reduction for the alleged behavior.

As previously reported, in December 2010 and in March 2011, the Turkish Antitrust Authority searched the premises of several diagnostic companies including, among others, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostik Ticaret Limited Sirketi, Turkey, in response to allegations of anti-competitive agreements. Siemens cooperated with the authority. In May 2012, the Turkish Antitrust Authority decided that the law has not been violated, and discontinued the proceedings.

As previously reported, in February 2010, the Italian Antitrust Authority searched the premises of several healthcare companies, among others those of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics S.r.l. and Siemens S.p.A. The investigation addresses allegations of anti-competitive agreements in relation to a tender of the procurement entity for the public healthcare sector in the region of Campania for the supply of medical equipment in 2009. In May 2011, the Italian Antitrust Authority sent a Statement of Objections to the companies under investigation which confirmed that the proceedings against Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics S.r.l. were closed, but accused Siemens S.p.A. of having participated in an anti-competitive arrangement. In August 2011, the Italian Antitrust Authority fined several companies, including Siemens S.p.A. for alleged anti-competitive behavior. The fine imposed on Siemens S.p.A. amounts to 1.1 million. The company appealed the decision. In April 2012, the Administrative Court for the region of Latium overruled the decision of the Italian Antitrust Authority.

Other proceedings

As previously reported, Siemens AG is a member of a supplier consortium that has been contracted to construct the nuclear power plant “Olkiluoto 3” in Finland for Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) on a turnkey basis. Siemens AG’s share of the consideration to be paid to the supplier consortium under the contract is approximately 27%. The other member of the supplier consortium is a further consortium consisting of Areva NP S.A.S. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Areva NP GmbH. The agreed completion date for the nuclear power plant was April 30, 2009. Completion of the power plant has been delayed for reasons which are in dispute. In December 2011, the supplier consortium informed TVO that the completion of the plant is expected in August 2014. The supplier consortium and TVO currently assess potential further slippage in the schedule. The final phases of the plant completion require the full cooperation of all parties involved. In December 2008, the supplier consortium filed a request for arbitration against TVO demanding an extension of the construction time, additional compensation, milestone payments, damages and interest. In June 2011, the supplier consortium increased its monetary claim to 1.94 billion (and has not updated it since then). TVO rejected the claims and made counterclaims against the supplier consortium consisting primarily of damages due to the delay. In June 2012, the arbitral tribunal rendered a partial award ordering the release of withheld milestone payments to the supplier consortium of approximately 101 million plus interest. As of September 2012, TVO’s alleged counterclaims amounted to 1.59 billion based on a delay of up to 56 months. Based on a completion in August 2014, TVO estimates that its counterclaims amount to 1.77 billion. The further delay beyond December 2013 as well as the potential materialization of further schedule uncertainties in the completion of the plant could lead TVO to increase its counterclaims. The arbitration proceedings may continue for several years.

As previously reported, OSRAM is party to a number of patent lawsuits involving Samsung group companies and LG group companies. On the one hand, OSRAM has sued Samsung group companies and/or LG group companies and some of the customers of these companies in the U.S., South Korea, Germany, China and Japan for patent infringements, and is requesting injunctions against unauthorized use of the asserted patents and, in some cases, import bans and

compensation. In addition, OSRAM has commenced patent invalidation lawsuits relating to LG patents and Samsung patents on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology in South Korea and relating to LG patents on LED technology in China, Germany and the US. Samsung group companies and/or LG group companies have, on the other hand, initiated patent invalidation lawsuits relating to OSRAM patents on LED technology, in particular white LEDs, in South Korea, Germany, the US, China and Japan. In addition, Samsung group companies and/or LG group companies have filed patent infringement lawsuits in various jurisdictions, such as the U.S., South Korea, Germany and China, requesting injunctions against unauthorized use of the asserted patents and, in some cases, import bans and compensation from OSRAM. The patent infringement lawsuits initiated by LG group companies and Samsung group companies partly involve direct and indirect customers of OSRAM. OSRAM is defending itself in these lawsuits. In August 2012, OSRAM and Samsung entered into a settlement agreement and terminated the lawsuits pending between them. In October 2012 OSRAM and LG entered into a settlement agreement and are in the process of terminating the lawsuits pending between them.

In July 2008, Hellenic Telecommunications Organization S.A. (OTE) filed a lawsuit against Siemens AG with the district court of Munich, Germany, seeking to compel Siemens AG to disclose the outcome of its internal investigations with respect to OTE. OTE seeks to obtain information with respect to allegations of undue influence and/or acts of bribery in connection with contracts concluded between Siemens AG and OTE from 1992 to 2006. In May 2009, OTE was granted access to the public prosecutor’s files in Greece. At the end of July 2010, OTE expanded its claim and requested payment of damages by Siemens AG of at least 57.07 million to OTE for alleged bribery payments to OTE-employees. While Siemens AG continues to defend itself against the expanded claim, Siemens AG and OTE remain in discussions to resolve the matter.

In December 2011, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York served a Grand Jury subpoena on Siemens that seeks records of consulting payments for business conducted by the Building Technologies business unit in New York State over the period from January 1, 2000 through September 30, 2011. Siemens is cooperating with the authority.

In February 2012, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York served a subpoena on Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. for information relating to a diagnostics process. Siemens is cooperating with the authority.

As previously reported, a Mexican governmental control authority had barred Siemens S.A. de C.V. Mexico (Siemens Mexico) from bidding on public contracts for a period of three years and


Table of Contents

nine months beginning November 30, 2005. This proceeding arose from allegations that Siemens Mexico did not disclose alleged minor tax discrepancies when it was signing a public contract in 2002. Upon several appeals by Siemens Mexico, the execution of the debarment was stayed, the debarment subsequently reduced to a period of four months, and in June 2009 the Company was finally informed by the relevant administrative court that the debarment was completely annulled. In June 2012, Siemens Mexico was informed that in connection with the aforementioned incident a new blacklisting procedure had been initiated by the Internal Controlling Office of the Mexican Institute of Social Security.
