Interim group management report
Overview of financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008
In the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we reached a number of important milestones on our reorganization path. We believe that Siemens is becoming faster, more efficient and more focused as a company, with the timely and entrepreneurial approach that is required to remain on this course.
Orders rose 21%, to 23.677 billion, and revenue increased 10%, to 19.182 billion.
These results include negative currency translation effects of 7 percentage points on orders and 6 percentage points on revenue. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of currency translation and portfolio transactions, orders rose 26% and revenue increased 13% compared to the third quarter a year earlier. Order growth was well-balanced, with double-digit expansion in all Sectors. Revenue growth included double-digit increases in Energy and Healthcare and 8% growth in Siemens’s largest Sector, Industry. The region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) and Africa contributed 40% order growth and 12% revenue growth in the third quarter, including unusually large orders in Industry and Energy. Due in part to these large orders, the book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was 1.23.
Profit Total Sectors climbed 33%, to 2.084 billion, on rising revenue and higher profit margin.
Growth in Profit Total Sectors — a measure combining profit from the Industry, Energy and Healthcare Sectors — rose on particular strength in the Industry and Energy Sectors. Within Industry, the leading profit performers were the two Divisions created out of the former A&D Group: Industry Automation and Drive Technologies. Sector profit for Industry included a gain of 113 million on the sale of the wireless modules business in the Industry Automation Division. Sector Profit growth within Energy featured strong contributions from the two new Divisions created out of the former PTD Group: Power Transmission and Power Distribution. Siemens’ Healthcare Sector contributed 6% growth in Sector profit and sustained its profitability despite challenging market conditions.
Income from continuing operations rose strongly, to 1.475 billion, driven by higher Total Sectors profit.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations rose correspondingly, to 1.61 from 0.64 a year earlier. The primary factor in these increases was growth in Total Sectors profit. In addition, Strategic Equity Investments (SEI) posted profit of positive 1 million compared to a loss of 301 million in the third quarter a year earlier. The main reason for this change was significant progress at Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN), which improved its operating result and reduced restructuring and integration costs compared to the prior-year quarter. Siemens’ two Cross-Sector Businesses, Siemens Financial Services (SFS) and Siemens IT Solutions and Services, contributed 123 million in profit, unchanged year-over-year. In addition, expenses for legal and regulatory matters were lower in the current quarter.
Net income was 1.419 billion. Prior-year net income of 2.065 billion benefited from a substantial gain within discontinued operations.
Basic EPS for Siemens in the third quarter was 1.55 compared to 2.25 in the prior-year period. The comparison year-over-year is strongly influenced by discontinued operations, which posted a loss of 56 million in the current period in contrast to income of 1.457 billion in the prior-year period. The major factors in the latter result were a preliminary pre-tax non-cash gain of 1.7 billion resulting from the transfer of Siemens’ telecommunications carrier business into NSN and positive operating results at Siemens VDO Automotive (SV), only partly offset by an impairment of the enterprise networks business in the pre-tax amount of 355 million.
Free cash flow was 1.547 billion and the Cash conversion rate was above target.
For comparison, free cash flow of 1.943 billion in the prior-year quarter benefited from a positive effect of approximately 1.1 billion related to the carve-out of SV, only partly offset by a 419 million penalty payment related to a European Union antitrust investigation. The Cash conversion rate for continuing operations in the third quarter was 1.05, above the target for the quarter.

ROCE for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was 10.7%.
On a continuing basis, return on capital employed (ROCE) declined to 10.7% from 11.2% in the first nine months a year earlier. ROCE development in the current period was affected by a substantial increase in capital employed stemming from major acquisitions in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. This effect more than offset higher income from continuing operations in the current period, and will continue through the current fiscal year.
Expenses for compliance investigations declined from the second-quarter level.
Expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities were 119 million in the third quarter, down from 175 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The total for continuing operations in the current quarter was 106 million, with the remaining 13 million related to discontinued operations. In the third quarter a year earlier, these costs totaled 125 million, including 54 million in continuing operations and 71 million in discontinued operations. For more information regarding these matters see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Completing the second tranche of Siemens’ share buyback program raised total purchases to 4.0 billion.
The second share buyback tranche totaled 2.0 billion in purchases for 27,916,664 shares, and we completed it after the close of the quarter on July 22, 2008. The first tranche of the program, in the amounts of 2.0 billion and 24,854,541 shares, was completed at the beginning of the quarter, on April 8, 2008. Taking both tranches together, we spent a total of approximately 1.3 billion under the share repurchase program in the third quarter. For further information, see “Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements” below.

Order growth in the third quarter was well-balanced, with double-digit expansion in all Sectors. On a geographic basis, orders grew 40% in Siemens’ largest region, which includes Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) and Africa. Large orders in the Industry Sector and the Energy Sector contributed strongly to the increase. In the Americas, orders rose 10%, despite strong negative currency translation effects of 15%. On an organic basis, orders in the Americas climbed 21%, in part due to an exceptionally large order in the U.S. in the Energy Sector. Orders for the region consisting of Asia, Australia and the Middle East were nearly the same year-over-year, despite a higher level of large orders in the prior-year period. China and India continued to expand more rapidly than the region as a whole.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased 2% to 916 million in the third quarter. As in all Sectors revenue grew faster than R&D expenses for the quarter, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue declined to 4.8% compared to 5.1% in the prior-year period.
Marketing, selling and general administrative (SG&A) expenses also increased more slowly than revenue in the third quarter. As a result, SG&A expenses of 3.195 billion came in at 16.7% of revenue compared to 17.5% in the third quarter a year earlier.
Other operating income was 259 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 144 million a year earlier. The current period includes a pre-tax gain of 113 million on the sale of the wireless modules business in the Industry Sector.
Other operating expense decreased year-over-year, to 144 million. For comparison, 207 million in Other operating expense in the prior-year period included higher outlays for legal and regulatory matters. Expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities increased from 54 million in the prior-year period to 106 million in the current quarter.
Income (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, net was a positive 74 million compared to a negative 222 million in the same period a year earlier. The change was related mainly to our equity stake in NSN. The equity investment loss associated with NSN was 21 million in the third quarter, compared to an equity investment loss of 371 million in the prior-year period.
Financial income (expense), net swung to a positive 94 million from a negative 32 million in the third quarter a year earlier, due primarily to a combination of lower indebtedness in Siemens operating businesses as well as lower interest rates on U.S. dollar denominated debt.

Table of Contents

Income from continuing operations before income taxes rose substantially year-over-year, to 2.048 billion. The primary drivers of the improvement were higher profits in all Sectors, particularly in Industry, including the 113 million pre-tax gain on the sale of a business mentioned above, as well as a reduced equity investment loss related to NSN. The effective tax rate in the third quarter was 28%. The reduction compared to 35% in the prior-year period stemmed mainly from the above-mentioned swing in Income (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, net. In connection with the effects noted above, this resulted in significantly higher Income from continuing operations compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Discontinued operations in the periods under review include former Com activities as well as SV, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The former Com activities include the enterprise networks business, which is held for disposal; telecommunications carrier activities that were transferred into NSN in the third quarter of fiscal 2007; and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation. In the third quarter of this year, discontinued operations posted a loss of 56 million. For comparison, income from discontinued operations of 1.457 billion in the prior-year quarter included a 1.702 billion preliminary, pre-tax, non-cash gain associated with the transfer of Siemens’ carrier-related assets into NSN, partially offset by an impairment of the enterprise networks business in the pre-tax amount of 355 million.
Net income for Siemens in the third quarter was 1.419 billion, and Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was 1.374 billion. In the same quarter a year earlier, Net income was 2.065 billion, with 2.026 billion attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG. The difference in Net income year-over-year was strongly influenced by discontinued operations as described above.

Order growth of 14% in the first nine months included double-digit increases in all Sectors. Industry grew fastest in the Asia, Australia, Middle East region, while Energy logged strong order growth in the Europe, C.I.S., Africa region and the Americas. Healthcare expanded in all three regions, including new volume from the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (Dade Behring) between the periods under review. The large third-quarter orders in Industry and Energy mentioned earlier drove 17% order growth in the Europe, C.I.S., Africa region. Orders rose 6% in the Americas, including strong negative currency translation effects only partly offset by new volume from acquisitions. On an organic basis, orders were up 13% in the Americas compared to the third quarter a year earlier. Orders for the Asia, Australia, Middle East region increased 17%, supported by a higher volume of large orders in the Industry Sector compared to the prior-year period.

The increase in revenue for the first nine months was fueled by double-digit growth in Energy and Healthcare. The Industry Sector grew 6% compared to the prior-year period. Revenue growth was well-balanced regionally on a nine-month basis. The Europe, C.I.S., Africa region expanded 7% year-over-year, with revenue growth in all Sectors. The Americas posted a 5% increase, despite negative currency translation effects that took 15 percentage points from U.S. revenue growth. On an organic basis, revenues were up 8% in the U.S. and 10% for the Americas region. The Asia, Australia, Middle East region came in with 7% revenue expansion, including double-digit growth in Industry and Healthcare. Revenue in China climbed 19% and 9% in India compared to the first nine months a year earlier.

Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 increased 8% year-over-year on substantial rises at Industry and Healthcare. This resulted in an increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue despite significant project charges, including previously reported project charges of 857 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. These charges occurred in the Fossil Power Generation Division of the Energy Sector, the Mobility Division of the Industry Sector, and at Siemens IT Solutions and Services.

Nine-month R&D expenses increased to 2.681 billion from 2.437 billion a year earlier, led by higher expenses at the Industry Automation Division in the Industry Sector and Healthcare’s Diagnostics Division. Acquisitions made significant contributions to higher R&D expenses in both Divisions. For Siemens overall, R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue rose to 4.8%, from 4.7% in the same period a year earlier.
SG&A expenses rose to 9.493 billion, up from 8.667 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The Industry Automation Division and the Diagnostics Division again led the increase, in both cases largely due to business expansion. Further, SG&A expenses in the current period included expenses associated with the transformation of Siemens’ corporate structure including costs at a regional sales organization in Germany, and a 32 million donation to the Siemens Foundation in the U.S.
Other operating income for the first nine months was 636 million, compared to 462 million in the prior-year period. This increase is due mainly to higher gains from sales of real estate and sales of businesses, including the 113 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the wireless modules business mentioned earlier. The prior-year period included a gain of 76 million on the sale of Siemens Dispolok GmbH Germany, which was part of Industry.
Other operating expense came in below the level of the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The prior-year period was affected by significant expenses for legal and regulatory matters, including a previously disclosed antitrust penalty of 423 million, as well as 81 million primarily to fund job placement companies for former Siemens employees affected by the bankruptcy of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG (BenQ). While both periods included expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities, those expenses were substantially higher in the current period at 347 million compared to 67 million a year earlier. In addition, the first nine months of fiscal 2008 include a goodwill impairment of 70 million related to a buildings and infrastructure business that is held for disposal. For comparison, the prior-year period included a goodwill impairment of 52 million at a regional payphone unit. Both businesses are included in Other Operations.
Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net rose year-over-year to 283 million in the current period, due primarily to a significantly reduced equity investment loss related to NSN, only partly offset by lower equity investment income related to BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH).
Financial income (expense), net increased to 119 million, up from 9 million in the first nine months a year earlier, on higher Interest income (expense), net.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was 4.354 billion compared to 3.560 billion in the first nine months a year earlier. The increase is primarily due to higher gross profit, lower expenses for legal and regulatory matters, and a significantly reduced loss from our stake in NSN, partly offset by higher SG&A expenses. The effective tax rate was 28% in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to 29% in the prior-year period. As a result, income from continuing operations in the first nine months was 3.118 billion, up 24% from 2.515 billion a year earlier.
Discontinued operations include former Com activities as well as SV, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The former Com activities include the enterprise networks business, which is held for disposal, the telecommunications carrier activities transferred into NSN in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation. In the first nine months, income from discontinued operations was 5.188 billion compared to 1.597 billion in the same period a year earlier. The current period includes a result of approximately 5.4 billion related to SV, including operating results along with a substantial gain on the sale of the business. The result for former Com activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was a negative 255 million, including severance charges and impairments of long-lived assets at the enterprise networks business, as well as expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters. The prior-year period included a 1.702 billion preliminary, pre-tax non-cash gain associated with the transfer of Siemens’ carrier-related assets into NSN as well as positive operating results at SV, partially offset by impairments totaling 503 million. For additional information with respect to discontinued operations, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Net income for Siemens in the first nine months was 8.306 billion, compared to 4.112 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was 8.190 billion, up from 3.961 billion in the prior-year.
Portfolio activities
At the beginning of November 2007, Siemens completed the acquisition of Dade Behring, USA, a leading manufacturer and distributor of diagnostic products and services to clinical laboratories. Dade Behring was consolidated as of November 2007 and integrated into Sector Healthcare’s Diagnostics division. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately 4.9 billion (including 69 million cash acquired). The company has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation (PPA). Further information on PPA and integration costs related to the acquisitions mentioned here is given below in “Segment information analysis.”
At the beginning of December 2007, Siemens sold its SV activities to Continental AG, Hanover, Germany for a sales price of approximately 11.4 billion.
We completed certain other portfolio transactions during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 which did not have a significant effect on our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information on acquisitions and dispositions, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.” For portfolio activities after the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008 see “Subsequent events.”

     The largest Divisions within the Sector — Industry Automation, Drive Technologies and Industry Solutions — drove the increases in Sector revenue and Sector profit year-over-year. The three other Divisions within the Sector maintained their third-quarter Division profit at or near prior-year levels.
     Revenue for the Industry Sector rose to 9.423 billion from 8.751 billion in the third quarter a year ago. Orders grew even faster, coming in 26% higher at 11.508 billion. Order growth was broad-based, highlighted by a 1.4 billion rolling stock order in Europe and strong global demand for metals technologies solutions. Even without the rolling stock order, the book-to-bill ratio for the Sector increased to 1.07 year-over-year.
     Working in strong markets, the Industry Automation and Drive Technologies Divisions maintained high capacity utilization and continued to achieve volume-driven economies of scale. The result was significant profit growth in both Divisions.
     Industry Automation contributed 467 million to Sector profit in the quarter, up sharply year-over-year on a 15% increase in revenue. This represents high double-digit Division profit growth even without the 113 million gain mentioned above, which came within Industry Automation. Both periods under review were affected by PPA and integration effects related to the acquisition of UGS Corp. (UGS) during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. These factors took approximately 190 basis points from profit margin in the current quarter, including PPA effects of 36 million and integration costs of 5 million. In the same quarter a year earlier, PPA effects and integration costs were 49 million and 11 million, respectively, and cut approximately 310 basis points from profit margin.
     Drive Technologies contributed 344 million to Sector profit, a 40% increase compared to the prior-year quarter, on a 15% increase in revenue. Both periods included PPA effects of 10 million related to the acquisition of Flender Holding GmbH (Flender) in fiscal 2005. The impact on profit margin was approximately 40 basis points in the current period and approximately 50 basis points in the prior-year quarter.
     The Industry Solutions Division posted 21% profit growth on an 11% rise in revenue, including double-digit topline growth and significant margin improvement in the fast-growing metals technologies industry.
     The Osram and Building Technologies Divisions face growth challenges related to adverse currency translation effects from their substantial U.S. presence as well as slowing economic growth in Western Europe and the U.S. Yet both maintained third-quarter profit close to prior-year levels. For comparison, profit at Building Technologies in the prior-year quarter benefited from a gain on the sale of a business.
     Mobility held its Division profit level with the prior-year period, at 39 million. Orders of 2.952 billion included the 1.4 billion contract for more than 300 trains from the Belgian state railway system, Siemens’ largest-ever rolling stock order. As part of its “Mobility in Motion” transformation program to improve its cost structure, Mobility intends to take charges in the fourth quarter depending on the progress of labor negotiations.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, profit at the Industry Sector was 3.068 billion, up 23% compared to 2.503 billion in the previous nine-month period. As in the third quarter, the main drivers of Sector profit growth for the first nine months were the Industry Automation, Drive Technologies and Industry Solutions Divisions. The Industry Automation Division benefited from a pre-tax gain of 113 million from the sale of its wireless modules business mentioned above as well as from a gain of 38 million from the sale of another business that was divested during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Both periods under review included PPA effects and integration costs stemming from Industry Automation’s acquisition of UGS. PPA effects were 110 million and integration costs were 12 million in the current nine months. PPA and integration costs in the prior-year nine-month period were the same as for the third quarter of the prior-year, when the acquisition occurred. PPA effects within the Drive Technologies Division resulting from the acquisition of Flender were stable year-over-year with 29 million in the current period compared to 31 million in the previous year period.
Within Industry Solutions, the Division’s metal technologies business made the largest contribution to the Division’s profit growth. The Division also benefited from a 30 million gain on the sale of its hydrocarbon business.
Profit at Building Technologies and Osram for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was nearly level with the prior-year period. Profit at Building Technologies in the prior-year period included the gain on the sale of a business mentioned above.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, Mobility recorded a loss of 33 million and took charges of 209 million in the second quarter resulting from reviews of major project risks, with the largest single charge related to the Shanghai Transrapid monorail. Mobility also took 32 million in charges related to Combino railcar in the first quarter of the current nine-month period. In the first three quarters a year earlier, Mobility posted a profit of 175 million, as charges related to major projects, including Combino, were partially offset by a net gain of 76 million on the sale of the Division’s locomotive leasing business.
     Orders of 32.540 billion and revenue of 27.677 billion for the Industry Sector were up 14% and 6%, respectively, compared to the first nine months a year ago. On a regional basis, the Sector showed double-digit order growth in the Asia, Australia, Middle East region and the Europe, C.I.S., Africa region. Order intake in the Americas declined slightly year-over-year due to strong negative currency translation effects. The revenue growth rate for the Industry Sector was strongest in Asia, Australia, Middle East, rising slightly in the Europe, C.I.S., Africa region and remaining stable in the Americas. The Industry Automation and Drive Technologies Divisions both achieved double-digit growth rates for orders and revenue, while orders and revenue at Building Technologies were slightly down and nearly stable at Osram year-over-year including strong negative currency translation effects. Mobility’s order intake for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 increased sharply, benefiting from the large rolling stock order in Belgium mentioned above, while revenue in the current period declined due to lower billings at large projects in the Division’s turnkey systems business.

     Siemens’ Energy Sector generated 615 million in profit in the third quarter, a substantial increase compared to the prior-year period. All Divisions reported higher profits, with the majority contributing high double-digit increases.
     Revenue growth was also robust and well-distributed among the Divisions. Sector revenue climbed 19% to 5.829 billion, with all Divisions contributing to the increase. Orders grew faster still, rising 23% over the prior-year quarter to reach 8.077 billion. While orders came in lower at the Fossil Power Generation Division, Renewable Energy more than compensated with a substantial increase compared to the same quarter a year earlier.
     Nearly half of the Energy Sector’s profit growth came from the Power Transmission and Power Distribution Divisions, which were formerly combined in Siemens’ Power Transmission and Distribution Group (PTD). These businesses continued to gain volume-driven economies of scale by successfully meeting demand for higher efficiency and security in regional power grids. As a result, both Divisions delivered strong profit growth and profit margins in their target ranges.

Table of Contents

     Revenue grew 12% at Power Transmission and 13% at Power Distribution. Orders grew more slowly year-over-year, primarily due to a lower level of large orders than in the third quarter a year ago. One of the most notable major orders came in at Power Transmission, for grid access to the world’s largest off-shore wind farm, known as Greater Gabbard in the UK.
     The Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas Divisions both profited well in the world’s booming markets for energy production.
     Renewable Energy generated 72 million in profit with a substantial increase in profit margin year-over-year. The Division also reached new highs in revenue and orders, which climbed to 631 million and 2.122 billion, respectively. The latter figure includes an exceptionally large order for 218 wind turbines in the U.S., which will be placed in wind farms throughout the country. Renewable Energy also won an order for 140 turbines for the Greater Gabbard off-shore wind farm mentioned above, thus demonstrating the Energy Sector’s ability to provide integrated solutions for large-scale energy projects. The Division expects to slow order intake compared to the exceptionally high level of the current quarter, while ramping up capacity. In this regard, the Division announced plans to double output at its U.S. rotor blade factory.
     The Oil & Gas Division combines products and services for extraction, transport and refining with additional offerings including industrial turbines. The Division contributed third-quarter profit of 95 million and clearly improved its profit margin year-over-year. Oil & Gas completed the quarter with a strong book-to-bill ratio based on order intake of 1.550 billion
     The Fossil Power Generation Division delivered profit of 212 million on revenue of 2.096 billion in the third quarter, and contributed to both revenue and profit growth for the Energy Sector as a whole. Third-quarter revenue demonstrates the Division’s emphasis on balancing its business more evenly among products, services, and turnkey power plant solutions. The Division’s equity investment income was stable compared to the prior-year period.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, profit at the Energy Sector was 968 million, a 21% decline compared to 1.224 billion in the previous year period. Division profit rose sharply at Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Power Transmission and Power Distribution, driven by increased capacity utilization and higher profit margins compared to the prior-year period. In contrast, Fossil Power Generation recorded a loss of 91 million in the first three quarters, compared to profit of 576 million in the same period a year earlier. The change was due to the Division’s turnkey solutions business, where a review of major projects identified resource constraints leading to project delays, expiring supplier price agreements, and significantly higher commodity prices. Based on the review, the Fossil Power Generation Division recorded charges of 559 million in the turnkey business in the second quarter, following charges of more than 200 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Equity investment income related to Areva NP showed a positive swing year-over-year, contributing 26 million to Energy Sector profit in the current nine months compared to a negative 8 million in the prior-year period. Equity investment income is expected to be more volatile in coming quarters.
     Revenue in the Energy Sector rose 10% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, to 15.828 billion compared to 14.337 billion in the previous period. Orders climbed 16% above the prior-year period to 26.182 billion compared to 22.477 billion in the previous period. On an organic basis, revenue and orders for the nine-month period at the Energy Sector increased 15% and 23%, respectively, with all Divisions contributing. Topline expansion was particularly rapid at Renewable Energy, with revenue increasing 63% and orders more than doubling year-over-year. Oil & Gas benefited from strong market dynamics as well, showing high double-digit growth in both revenue and orders.

     Siemens’ Healthcare Sector sustained its growth and profitability in the face of challenging market conditions. Sector profit was 326 million compared to 307 million in the third quarter a year earlier. Profit margin was strongly influenced by PPA effects and integration costs associated with acquisitions in the Diagnostics Division, including the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (Dade Behring) between the periods under review. These factors took approximately 210 basis points from Sector profit margin in the third quarter, compared to 170 basis points in the prior-year period.
     Healthcare revenue rose 10%, to 2.677 billion, including new volume from Dade Behring in the Diagnostics Division. On an organic basis, excluding portfolio transactions and strong currency translation effects in the U.S., the Sector’s three Divisions all contributed to revenue growth in the quarter. Orders climbed 11% to 2.801 billion, again including the acquired volume in Diagnostics. On a regional basis, the Sector achieved rapid growth in emerging markets, particularly China. Growth was more modest in established markets characterized by slower economic growth, tightening credit, and, in the U.S., by public policy affecting medical imaging.
     The Healthcare Sector expects previously announced cost-reduction programs to result in severance charges in the fourth quarter depending on the progress of labor negotiations. As part of Siemens’ ongoing transformation programs, Healthcare anticipates further charges in the fourth quarter related to a strategic review of certain business activities.
     The Healthcare Sector’s largest Division, Imaging & IT, offers medical imaging systems used for diagnostic and interventional purposes as well as information technology systems used to store, retrieve and transmit medical images and other information. In the third quarter, the newly formed Division posted a profit of 199 million, negatively influenced by substantial currency effects.

Table of Contents

Revenue and orders for Imaging & IT were 1.569 billion and 1.699 billion, respectively, in the current quarter. On an organic basis, revenue rose 3% and orders rose 8% year-over-year despite the difficult market conditions mentioned above. Highlights of order growth included new offerings for magnetic resonance imaging and computer-aided tomography. The momentum generated by these and other innovative products helped increase the Division’s book-to-bill ratio year-over-year, which came in at 1.08 for the third quarter.
     The Diagnostics Division recorded profit of 82 million in the third quarter, up from 52 million in the prior-year period before the acquisition of Dade Behring. PPA effects and integration costs related to acquisitions, primarily Dade Behring, reduced profit margin by approximately 700 basis points in the current quarter, including PPA effects of 29 million and net integration costs of 29 million. A year earlier, PPA and integration costs for Diagnostics were 27 million and 14 million in the third quarter, respectively, taking 830 basis points from the Division’s profit margin. Revenue of 826 million was significantly higher year-over-year due to new volume from Dade Behring. Organic growth was solid at 3%. Along with profitable growth, the priorities at Diagnostics continue to be rationalizing its product portfolio and realizing synergies among its acquisitions. The Division made progress in these areas in the third quarter.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, Healthcare posted Sector profit of 999 million, up 6% compared to 943 million in the first nine months a year earlier. Profit in both periods was negatively influenced by PPA effects and integration costs arising from the acquisitions mentioned above. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, these effects reduced the Sector’s profit margin by approximately 300 basis points compared to 140 basis points in the prior-year period. The negative PPA effects and integration costs in the prior-year period were

partly offset by gains on divestments as well as from the sale of a portion of Healthcare’s stake in a joint venture, Draeger Medical AG & Co. KG. Profit at the Diagnostics Division doubled year-over-year and benefited from the Dade Behring acquisition between the periods under review. The Division’s profit margin in both periods included significant negative effects from PPA and integration costs. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, PPA effects totaled 130 million (including 7 million of non-recurring inventory step-up charges) and integration costs totaled 116 million. These factors reduced the Division’s profit margin by approximately 1050 basis points. In the prior-year period, PPA effects from the acquisition of the diagnostics division of Bayer and Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) totaled 71 million (including 18 million of non-recurring inventory step-up charges) and integration costs were 30 million, reducing the Division’s profit margin by approximately 950 basis points
     Healthcare’s orders and revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were both up by 15% compared to the prior-year period, benefiting from new volume at Dade Behring. Excluding currency translation and portfolio effects all Divisions in the Healthcare Sector increased orders and revenue slightly year-over-year.

Strategic Equity Investments (SEI)
     SEI includes results at equity from three companies in which Siemens holds an equity stake: NSN, BSH, and Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) B.V. (FSC). SEI contributed equity investment income of 1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to a negative 301 million in the same period a year earlier. The largest factor in this improvement was NSN, which reported improved operating results and also substantially reduced restructuring charges and integration costs year-over-year. The current period included 201 million for restructuring and integration costs, down from 905 million in the prior-year period. As a result, Siemens’ equity investment loss related to NSN in the current quarter decreased to 21 million from 371 million a year earlier.
     Equity investment income for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was a positive 41 million compared to a negative 150 million in the prior-year period. The increase was mainly due to NSN, which incurred 421 million in charges for restructuring and integration programs, down from 905 million in the prior-year period mentioned above. As a result, Siemens equity investment loss in NSN decreased to 103 million compared to 371 million in the same period a year earlier.

     For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, Profit for Siemens IT Solutions and Services declined significantly compared to the prior-year period due to charges at projects in the UK, which reduced profit by 89 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This effect was only partly offset by the release of the accrual of 13 million mentioned above. Orders for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 increased by 9% compared to the prior-year period, including major contracts from NSN and BBC (UK), both won in the second quarter of the current fiscal year.

     Siemens Financial Services delivered income before income taxes of 59 million in the third quarter, up from 57 million in the same period a year earlier. Profit for the first nine months of both fiscal years benefited from special dividends resulting from divestment gains by a Company in which SFS holds an equity position. The dividends received in the prior-year period were higher. Profit of SFS’ equity and project finance business in the prior-year period also included a gain on a sale of an investment. Total assets rose significantly compared to the end of fiscal 2007, primarily due to growth in the commercial finance business including asset purchases in secondary markets.

     Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements includes Other Operations, Siemens Real Estate (SRE) and various categories of items, which are not allocated to the Sectors and Cross-Sector Businesses because Management has determined that such items are not indicative of the Sectors’ and Cross-Sector Businesses’ performance.
Other Operations
     Other Operations consist of centrally held business activities, shared services and central costs not allocated to a Sector or Cross-Sector Business. Under the previously announced transformation program for Other Operations, all business activities are to be integrated into an existing Siemens Sector or Cross-Sector Business, divested, moved to a joint venture, or closed. By the third quarter, Siemens reached or concluded the implementation phase for a majority of business activities. Partly as a result, third-quarter sales for Other Operations declined to 580 million from 678 million in the prior-year quarter. The loss from Other Operations narrowed to a negative 20 million from a negative 56 million in the third quarter a year earlier. Siemens expects negative earnings impacts in connection with the Other Operations transformation program in coming quarters.
     For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the result of Other Operations was a negative 138 million, compared to a negative 153 million a year earlier. The difference is due primarily to lower costs not directly related to business activities, partly offset by a goodwill impairment of 70 million in the first quarter of the current period related to a building and infrastructure business that is held for disposal. SHC was profitable in both periods under review. Revenue for Other Operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was 1.918 billion, down from 2.221 billion in the prior-year period, including negative portfolio effects of 12%.
Siemens Real Estate (SRE)
     For the third quarter, income before income taxes at SRE was 103 million, up from 69 million a year earlier, primarily due to increased gains from real estate sales.
     Income before income tax for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was 302 million, up 68% from 180 million in the prior-year period, also mainly due to higher gains from sales of real estate. SRE intends to continue real estate disposals in coming quarters, depending on market conditions.
Corporate items and pensions
     Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative 245 million in the third quarter compared to a negative 367 million in the prior-year period. The improvement is due primarily to Corporate items, which totaled a negative 270 million compared to a negative 379 million in the same quarter a year ago. The current period includes 106 million expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities. These costs totaled 54 million in the prior-year period. The third quarter of fiscal 2007 also included higher expenses for legal and regulatory matters.

     In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative 1.038 billion compared to a negative 1.182 billion a year earlier. In the current period, expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities were significantly higher year-over-year, at 347 million, compared to 67 million in the prior-year period. In addition, the current period includes expenses of 106 million, including an impairment, related to a regional sales organization in Germany associated with the transformation of Siemens’ corporate structure, as well as a 32 million donation to the Siemens Foundation in the U.S., which conducts prestigious national competitions and scholarship programs in mathematics, science and engineering. The first nine months of fiscal 2007 included significantly higher expenses for legal and regulatory matters, including a previously disclosed antitrust penalty of 423 million and 81 million primarily to fund job placement companies for former Siemens employees affected by the bankruptcy of BenQ.
Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items
     Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was a positive 2 million compared to a negative 97 million in the same period a year earlier. The difference is mainly due to reduced interest expense stemming from a combination of lower indebtedness in Siemens’ operating businesses as well as lower interest rates on U.S. dollar denominated debt compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
     For the first nine months, income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items was a negative 184 million compared to a negative 254 million in the prior-year period, with positive factors mentioned above partly offset by negative results from hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting.

Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements
Cash flow — First nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to first nine months of fiscal 2007
The following discussion presents an analysis of Siemens’ cash flows for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and 2007. The table below presents cash flows for both continuing and discontinued operations. The latter category includes SV, which was sold to Continental AG between the periods under review, as well as the former Com activities, particularly the enterprise networks business, which is held for sale and the carrier-related business which was transferred into NSN. For further information on discontinued operations, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Siemens reports as a performance measure, Free cash flow, which is defined as “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” less cash used for “Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.” We believe this measure is helpful to our investors as an indicator of our ability to generate cash from operations and to pay for discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures not included in the measure, such as dividends, debt repayment or acquisitions. We also use Free cash flow to compare cash generation among the segments of our business. For further information about this measure, refer to “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements — Segment information.”

*   The closest comparable financial measure under IFRS is “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.” “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” from continuing operations as well as from continuing and discontinued operations is reported within the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow” for Siemens. Other companies that report Free cash flow may define and calculate it differently.
Operating activities provided net cash of 4.416 billion in the first nine months, compared to net cash provided of 3.977 billion in the same period of the prior-year. These results include both continuing and discontinued operations. Within the total, continuing operations provided net cash of 5.083 billion compared to 6.229 billion in the same period a year earlier. The prior-year period benefited from a substantial decrease in receivables of approximately 2.2 billion primarily related to the SV carve-out and the transfer of carrier activities into NSN, only partly offset by a 419 million penalty payment related to a European Union antitrust investigation. The current period includes a higher build-up in inventories, especially for Industry and Energy, which was partly offset by higher billings in excess of costs for these two Sectors. Discontinued operations improved to net cash used of 667 million in the current period, compared to net cash used of 2.252 billion in the prior period which included a substantially higher build up of net working capital, particularly receivables related to NSN and SV, as discussed above. The first nine months of fiscal 2008 include a 201 million payment for a previously disclosed fine imposed by the Munich district court, which is related to the investigation of former Com activities by the Munich Office of Public Prosecution.
Investing activities in continuing and discontinued operations provided net cash of 3.288 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to net cash used of 10.177 billion in the prior-year period. Within the total, net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations amounted to 7.409 billion in the current period and to 9.289 billion in the prior-year period. Cash outflows in the current period primarily related to the acquisition of Dade Behring at Healthcare for approximately 4.4 billion (net of 69 million cash acquired), while the prior-year period included 4.2 billion related to the acquisition of Bayer’s diagnostic business at Healthcare, 2.7 billion for the UGS acquisition at Industry as well as a payment to acquire AG Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch at Energy. Discontinued operations provided 10.697 billion in net cash during the current period, due primarily to proceeds of approximately 11.4 billion from the sale of SV.
Free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations for Siemens amounted to 2.138 billion in the first nine months, compared to 1.478 billion in the same period a year earlier. Within the total, Free cash flow for continuing operations in the first nine months amounted to 2.953 billion compared to 4.202 billion a year earlier. The change year-over-year was due to a reduction in Net Working Capital in the prior-year period including effects relating to the carve-out of SV and the transfer of carrier activities into NSN. Cash used for additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment remained stable year-over-year.

Table of Contents

The cash conversion rate for continuing operations, calculated as Free cash flow from continuing operations divided by income from continuing operations, was 0.95 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, above the target for the period. Free cash flow from discontinued operations amounted to (815) million and (2.724) billion for the first nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Financing activities from continuing and discontinued operations used net cash of 4.500 billion compared to net cash provided of 1.849 billion in the first nine months a year earlier. In the current period the Company incurred cash outflows of 3.264 billion for the purchase of common stock, including approximately 2.9 billion in total during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 for purchases under the first two tranches of the share buyback program. In addition short-term debt was reduced by 3.616 billion, mainly due to repayment of commercial paper and medium-term notes as well as repayment of debt originally raised by Dade Behring in the amount of 0.4 billion. The exercise of three long term capital market transactions provided net cash of 4.988 billion (for further information refer to “Capital resources and capital requirements”). In the first nine months a year earlier, changes in short-term debt provided net cash of 6.759 billion, mainly due to the issuance of commercial paper, whereas 2.4 billion (1.4 billion nominal) in cash was used to buy back a portion of the 2.5 billion convertible bond as well as cash used for the redemption of a CHF250 million bond and a 991 million bond. Dividends paid to shareholders (for fiscal 2007) in the current nine months amounted to 1.462 billion, compared 1.292 billion (paid for fiscal 2006) in the prior-year period.
Capital resources and requirements
Our capital resources consist of a variety of short and long-term financial instruments including loans from financial institutions, commercial paper, medium-term notes and bonds. In addition, other capital resources consist of liquid resources such as cash and cash equivalents, future cash flows from operating activities and current available-for-sale financial assets.
Total debt as stated on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relates to our commercial paper, medium-term notes, bonds, loans from banks and other financial indebtedness such as obligations under finance leases. Total liquidity refers to the liquid financial assets we had available at the respective balance sheet dates to fund our business operations and pay for near term obligations. Total liquidity comprises Cash and cash equivalents and current Available-for-sale financial assets. Net debt results from total debt less total liquidity. We use the net debt measure for internal corporate finance management, as well as for external communication with investors, analysts and rating agencies.

Net debt was 7.402 billion as of June 30, 2008, compared to 11.299 billion as of September 30, 2007. In the third quarter of fiscal 2008 we executed three capital market transactions classified as long-term debt and amounting to 5 billion, including an update on our medium-term notes program of 3.4 billion in three tranches, a 500 million extendible note issue and a 1.1 billion assignable loan issue (“Schuldscheindarlehen”).
Our capital requirements include scheduled debt service, regular capital spending, ongoing cash requirements from operating activities and capital requirements for our share buyback program.

Pension plan funding
At the end of the first nine months of fiscal 2008, the combined funding status of Siemens’ principal pension plans showed an underfunding of 0.4 billion, compared to an underfunding of 1.0 billion at the end of fiscal 2007. Positive effects which contributed to the improvement in funding status are a significant increase in the discount rate assumption at June 30, 2008, which reduced Siemens’ estimated defined benefit obligation (DBO), contributions and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension liabilities. Taken together, these factors more than offset the negative effects of service and interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and a negative actual return on plan assets. While fixed-income investments showed an almost neutral performance in the first nine months, a negative performance in equity investments resulted in an actual return on plan assets of a loss of (1,538) million. This represents a loss of 9.1% return on an annualized basis, compared to the expected annual return of 6.5%.
The fair value of plan assets of Siemens’ principal funded pension plans as of June 30, 2008, was 21.1 billion, compared to 24.0 billion on September 30, 2007. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008, employer contributions amounted to 502 million compared to 623 million in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Beside the negative actual return on plan assets, the decrease in plan assets was due to benefits paid during the nine-month period, currency translation effects and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension assets.
The estimated DBO for Siemens’ principal pension plans amounted to 21.5 billion as of June 30, 2008, approximately 3.5 billion lower than the DBO of 25.0 billion as of September 30, 2007. The difference is due to a significant increase in the discount rate assumption at June 30, 2008, currency translation effects and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension liabilities. Altogether these factors strongly outweighed the negative effect of service and interest cost less benefits paid during the first nine months of the current period.
For more information on Siemens’ pension plans, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Risk management
Within the scope of its entrepreneurial activities and the variety of its operations, Siemens is exposed to numerous risks which could negatively affect business development. For the early recognition and successful management of relevant risks we employ a number of coordinated risk management and control systems. Risk management facilitates the sustainable protection of our future corporate success as an integral part of all decisions and business processes of the Company.
In Siemens’ Annual Report for fiscal 2007 we described the risks which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and also the design of our risk management system.
For significant developments regarding project risks, risks related to portfolio activities, risks related to Siemens’ transformation programs and legal, compliance and regulatory developments, please refer to the sections entitled “Segment information analysis”, “Legal proceedings” and “Outlook” within this Interim Report.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2008 we identified no further significant risks besides those presented in the Annual Report for fiscal 2007 and the sections entitled “Segment information analysis”, “Legal proceedings” and “Outlook” within this Interim Report. Additional risks not known to us or that we currently consider immaterial could also impair our business operations. We do not expect to incur any risks that alone or in combination would appear to jeopardize the continuity of the Company’s business.
For information concerning forward-looking statements and additional information, please also refer to “Outlook” and the “Disclaimer” at the end of the “Interim group management report.”
Legal proceedings

At the end of July 2008, Siemens announced the sale of a 51% stake in Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) to The Gores Group, a U.S.-based financial and operational management firm. The Gores Group will contribute two businesses, which will complement the business of SEN. The transaction, which is subject to the approval of regulatory authorities, is expected to close by the end of the current fiscal year and to result in a substantial negative financial impact. Siemens and The Gores Group together have committed to contribute a financial investment totaling 350 million.
At the end of July, the Division Osram completed the sale of its Global Tungsten & Powders unit; the regulatory approvals have been issued. Siemens expects a gain as a result of this transaction.
At the beginning of August 2008, Siemens signed an agreement to transfer an 80.2% stake in Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG (SHC), reported in Other Operations, to ARQUES Industries AG. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close on October 1, 2008.
Outlook
Siemens confirms its full-year outlook for fiscal 2008. Organic revenue is expected to grow at twice the rate of global GDP growth, and Group Profit from Operations and Income from continuing operations are expected to match the levels achieved in fiscal 2007. Within discontinued operations, divestment of the enterprise networks business is expected to result in a substantial financial impact in fiscal 2008.
This outlook excludes earnings impacts that may arise from legal and regulatory matters, which are not yet quantifiable, and charges that may result from Siemens’ transformation programs, including the previously announced SG&A reduction program. Based on the progress of labor negotiations, Siemens intends to book material charges under the SG&A program in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 within Corporate Items.
Siemens expects more challenging conditions in the global economy in fiscal 2009 and expects to grow at twice the rate of global GDP. Total Sectors profit is expected to be in the range from 8.0 to 8.5 billion in fiscal 2009. Growth in income from continuing operations is expected to exceed growth in Total Sectors profit. This outlook excludes earnings impacts that may arise from legal and regulatory matters and charges for the SG&A reduction program.

Earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT (adjusted); Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA (adjusted); Return on capital employed (ROCE); Return on equity (ROE); Free cash flow; and Cash conversion rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Information for a reconciliation of these amounts to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures is available on our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/ir -> Financial Publications. “Profit Total Sectors” is reconciled to “Income from continuing operations before income taxes” in the table “Segment Information.”
This document contains forward-looking statements and information — that is, statements related to future, not past, events. 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. Such statements are based on our current expectations and certain assumptions, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect our 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. For us, particular uncertainties arise, among others, from changes in general economic and business conditions (including margin developments in major business areas); the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; lack of acceptance of new products or services by customers targeted by Siemens; changes in business strategy; the outcome of pending investigations and legal proceedings, especially the corruption investigations we are currently subject to in Germany, the United States and elsewhere; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on our ongoing business including our relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on our financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained throughout this report 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 may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Siemens does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
NOTES
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries, (the Company or Siemens). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
Siemens prepares and reports its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in euros (). Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a balanced business portfolio of activities predominantly in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering.
Interim financial statements—The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2008, the Consolidated Statements of Income and Income and Expense Recognized in Equity for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. These interim financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim financial reporting, and shall be read in connection with Siemens’ IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal 2007. The interim financial statements apply the same accounting principles and practices as those used in the annual financial statements of fiscal 2007. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Results for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Financial statement presentation—In fiscal 2008, Siemens rearranged its organization and streamlined its reporting processes. The previous component model reporting approach is no longer presented. See also Note 15 for further information. Information disclosed in the Notes relates to Siemens unless stated otherwise.
Basis of consolidation—The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly controlled. Control is generally conveyed by ownership of the majority of voting rights. Additionally, the Company consolidates special purpose entities (SPEs) when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with Siemens, the Company concludes that it controls the SPE. Associated companies—companies in which Siemens has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally through direct or indirect ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting rights)—are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Companies in which Siemens has joint control are also accounted for under the equity method.
Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes—In interim periods, tax expense is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate.
Reclassification—The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2008, the IASB published the amended standards IFRS 3, Business Combinations (IFRS 3(2008)) and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (IAS 27 (2008)). Both standards are not yet endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 3 (2008) reconsiders the application of acquisition accounting for business combinations. Major changes relate to the measurement of non-controlling interests, the accounting for business combinations achieved in stages as well as the treatment of contingent consideration and acquisition-related costs. Based on the new regulation, non-controlling interests may be measured at their fair value (full-goodwill-methodology) or at the proportional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In business combinations achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value. Any changes to contingent consideration classified as a liability at the acquisition date are recognized in profit and loss. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
Major changes in relation to IAS 27 (2008) relate to the accounting for transactions which do not result in a change of control as well as to those leading to a loss of control. If there is no loss of control, transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as equity transactions not affecting profit and loss. At the date control is lost, any retained equity interests are remeasured to fair value. Based on the amended standard, non-controlling interests may show a deficit balance since both profits and losses are allocated to the shareholders based on their equity interests.
The amended standards are effective for business combinations in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of IFRS 3(2008) and IAS 27(2008) and will determine an adoption date.
2. Acquisitions, dispositions and discontinued operations
  a)   Acquisitions
At the beginning of November 2007, Siemens completed the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (Dade Behring), USA, a leading manufacturer and distributor of diagnostic products and services to clinical laboratories. Dade Behring was consolidated as of November 2007 and integrated into Sector Healthcare’s Diagnostics division. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately 4.9 billion (including 69 cash acquired). The company has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, approximately 1,171 was allocated to intangible assets subject to amortization and approximately 3,332 was recorded as goodwill.
  b)   Discontinued operations
  ba)   Siemens VDO Automotive (SV)
At the beginning of December 2007, Siemens sold its SV activities to Continental AG, Hanover, Germany for a sales price of approximately 11.4 billion. The transaction resulted in a preliminary gain, net of related costs of 5,522, which is included in discontinued operations. The historical results of SV are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.
The net results of SV presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income consist of the following components:
                                 
    Three months ended     Nine months ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2008     2007     2008     2007  
Revenue
          2,731       1,842       7,836  
Costs and expenses
          (2,581 )     (1,968 )     (7,407 )
Gain (loss) on disposal
    (1 )           5,522        
 
                       
Income (loss) from discontinued operations before income taxes
    (1 )     150       5,396       429  
 
                       
Income taxes
    12       (42 )     47       (118 )
 
                       
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes
    11       108       5,443       311  
 
                       
As a result of taxable reorganizations in fiscal 2007, prior to the completion of the sale, no disposal gain related income taxes arose on the disposal of SV in December 2007.
  bb)   Communications (Com)
The historical results of the former operating segment Com, with the exception of certain business activities which are now part of Other Operations (see Note 15 for further information), are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Com activities previously included the Mobile Devices (MD) business, which was sold in fiscal 2005, and the carrier-related operations which were contributed to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V., the Netherlands (NSN) in April 2007. The Company has been actively pursuing its plan to dispose of the enterprise networks business, which was also previously included in Com. At the end of July 2008, Siemens announced the sale of a 51% stake in the enterprise networks business (see Note 16 subsequent events for additional information). The Company expects to realize a substantial loss upon the transaction.

Commencing with the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company adjusted its reporting format to its rearranged organization. The previous twelve segments were consolidated and newly structured into six remaining reportable segments (for further information see Note 15). New cash generating units have been identified. The goodwill impairment test is primarily performed at the division level. Goodwill has been allocated based on expected synergies derived from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
The net increase in goodwill of 2,489 during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, is attributable to 3,623 acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments, offset by (1,033) foreign currency adjustments primarily for the U.S.$; (70) relate to impairment predominantly within Other Operations (see also Note 4) and (31) are attributable to dispositions. Acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments relate primarily to Healthcare’s acquisition of Dade Behring (see Note 2 for further information).

12. Legal proceedings
As previously reported, public prosecutors and other government authorities in jurisdictions around the world are conducting investigations of Siemens and certain of our current and former employees regarding allegations of public corruption, including criminal breaches of fiduciary duty including embezzlement, as well as bribery, money laundering and tax evasion, among others. These investigations involve allegations of corruption at a number of Siemens’ business units.
For more information regarding these and other legal proceedings in which Siemens is involved, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential financial impact on the Company, please refer to Siemens’ Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (Annual Report) and its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (Form 20-F), and, in particular, to the information contained in “Item 3: Key Information — Risk Factors”, “Item 4: Information on the Company — Legal Proceedings”, “Item 5: Operating Financial Review and Prospects”, and “Item 15: Controls and Procedures” of the Form 20-F.
Developments regarding investigations and legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of Siemens’ Annual Report and Form 20-F include:
    The investigation of the Munich public prosecutor extends beyond the former Communications group. To date, the Munich public prosecutor has announced that groups under investigation include Siemens’ former Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) group, in which a former member of the Managing Board is a suspect, the former Power Generation (PG) group, the former Medical Solutions (Med) group, the former Transportation Systems (TS) group and Siemens’ IT Solutions and Services group. The investigation of the Munich public prosecutor remains ongoing.
    In May 2008, the Munich prosecutor announced an investigation against the former Chairman of the Supervisory Board, the former CEO and other former members of the Supervisory Board and of the Managing Board of Siemens AG. The investigation is based on Section 130 of the German Law on Administrative Offences regarding violations of the duty to take appropriate supervisory measures required to prevent breaches of criminal and administrative law.
    On July 29, 2008, the Supervisory Board of Siemens AG resolved to claim damages from former members of the former Central Executive Committee of the Managing Board of Siemens AG. The claims are based on breaches of their organizational and supervisory duties in view of the

(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
      accusations of illegal business practices and extensive bribery that occurred in the course of international business transactions and the resulting financial burdens to the company. On the basis of information available to date, claims are being asserted against ten former executives, including two former Chief Executive Officers of Siemens and a former Chief Financial Officer. Claims for damages are also being brought against one of the aforementioned ten former executives and one additional former member of the Managing Board in connection with payments made to the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger). The former executives will be invited to respond to the claims before legal action for damages is taken.
 
    Debevoise & Plimpton LLP (Debevoise), an independent external law firm engaged by the Company to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation to determine whether anti-corruption regulations have been violated and to conduct an independent and comprehensive assessment of the Company’s compliance and control systems, is investigating leads generated by the Company’s amnesty program, as well as other sources.
 
    In the course of its investigation, Debevoise identifies and reports to the Company evidence of payments to business consultants, sales-related intermediaries and cash payments. The Company analyzes whether such payments were considered in its analysis of income tax non-deductible payments conducted in fiscal 2007.
 
    As previously reported, the Company also investigates evidence of additional bank accounts at various locations. The Company is currently investigating the amount of the funds, as well as whether such funds can be recorded on the Company’s balance sheet.
 
    In November 2007, authorities in Nigeria conducted searches of the premises of Siemens Ltd. Nigeria in connection with an investigation into alleged illegal payments to Nigerian public officials between 2002 and 2005.
 
    In December 2007, the Norwegian public prosecutor’s office conducted a search of Siemens AS Norway’s offices as well as several private homes in connection with payments made by Siemens for golf trips in 2003 and 2004, which were attended by members of the Norwegian Department of Defense. In light of this and the previously reported investigation of allegations of bribery and overcharging of the Department of Defense related to the awarding of a contract for the delivery of communication equipment, the Department of Defense has announced that it will not conduct further business with Siemens at this time.
 
    The public prosecutor in Milan, Italy is investigating allegations concerning whether two employees of Siemens S.p.A. made illegal payments to employees of the state-owned gas and power group ENI. In November 2007, the public prosecutor filed charges against the two employees, Siemens S.p.A. and one of its subsidiaries, as well as against other individuals and companies not affiliated with Siemens. The prosecutor is also investigating suspicions of tax evasion by the former CFO of Siemens S.p.A. in connection with the non-deductibility for tax purposes of certain payments.
 
    Authorities in Russia are conducting an investigation into alleged embezzlement of public funds in connection with the award of contracts to Siemens for the delivery of medical equipment to public authorities in Ekaterinburg in the years 2003 to 2005.

    As previously reported, in connection with the investigation relating to an agreement entered into by Siemens with an entity controlled by the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger), in April 2007, a former member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG was arrested and subsequently posted bail in the amount of 5 and was released from custody. In connection with the posting of bail, a bank issued a bond (Bankbürgschaft) in the amount of 5, 4.5 of which was guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the provisions of German law. The warrant associated with the arrest of the former member of the Managing Board has since been revoked and the bank bond, as well as the Company’s guarantee thereof, has been released. In July 2008, the Nürnberg-Fürth prosecutor brought charges against this former member of the Managing Board on several counts of criminal breach of fiduciary duty and tax evasion. According to July 2008 press reports, the Nürnberg-Fürth prosecutor has initiated an investigation against another former member of the Managing Board on suspicion of abetting breach of fiduciary duty.
 
    In December 2007, a suit and motion for approval of a class action was filed in Israel to commence a class action based on the fines imposed by the European Commission for alleged anti-trust violations in connection with high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. Thirteen companies have been named as defendants in the suit and motion, among them Siemens AG Germany, Siemens AG Austria and Siemens Israel Ltd. The class action alleges damages to electricity consumers in Israel in the amount of approximately 575 related to higher electricity prices claimed to have been paid because of the alleged anti-trust violations. The court has not yet ruled on the motion for approval of the class action.
 
    In January 2008, the Competition Authority of Slovakia imposed a fine of 3.3 on Siemens and VA Tech in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations in the market for high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. The Company has filed an appeal against this decision.
 
    As previously reported, in December 2006, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (FTC) had searched the offices of more than ten producers and dealers of healthcare equipment, including Siemens Asahi Medical Technologies Ltd., in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations. In February 2008, the FTC announced its findings. Siemens was found not guilty of participating in anti-trust violations, and was therefore not fined or otherwise punished.
 
    As previously reported, the Polish Competition Authority conducted an investigation against Siemens Sp. z.o.o. Poland regarding possible anti-trust violations in the market for the maintainance of diagnostic medical equipment. In May 2008, the Authority issued a final decision finding that Siemens Poland had not violated anti-trust regulations.
 
    In May 2008, Siemens received a decision issued by the Controller of the United Nations upon the recommendation of the Vendor Review Committee of the United Nations Secretariat Procurement Division (UNPD). According to the decision, which is based on the Fifth and Final Report (IIC Report) of the Independent Inquiry Committee into the United Nations Oil for Food Program, Siemens Medical Solutions is to be suspended for a minimum period of six months, effective as of May 23, 2008, from the UNPD Vendor Roster. Siemens appealed the decision. The review of the decision is pending.
 
    The Company has become aware of media reports that the Republic of Iraq filed in June 2008 an action requesting unspecified damages against 93 named defendants with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on the basis of findings made in the IIC Report. Siemens S.A.S France, Siemens A.S. Turkey and Osram Middle East FZE, Dubai are reported to be among the 93 named defendants. None of the Siemens affiliates have been served to date.
 
    In June 2008, the court of first instance in Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, found the head of the former Med group of Siemens PT Indonesia not guilty of allegations of participation in bribery, fraud, and overcharging related to the awarding of a contract for the delivery of medical equipment to a hospital in 2003. The decision has been appealed by the prosecutor.

    In June 2008, a court of first instance in the Czech Republic reversed the decision by the national competition authority regarding alleged anti-trust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market and ordered the authority to repay to Siemens the 11.7 fine imposed by the authority. The authority has the right to appeal the decision.
 
    In July 2008, the public prosecutor in Athens, Greece concluded his preliminary investigation relating to allegations of active and passive bribery of public officials, money laundering and aiding and abetting the foregoing, in connection with, among others, a telecom contract relating to the 2004 Olympic Games awarded by the Greek government to Siemens and purchases of telecom equipment by the Hellenic Telecommunications Organization SA (OTE) in the late 1990s. The prosecutor named several suspects, including a current and several former Siemens employees, and transferred the case to an investigative Magistrate’s Court in Athens, which can issue criminal charges against specific individuals. Separately, preliminary investigations continue into allegations of bribery by Siemens of Greek national railways and of the Greek Ministry of Defence and the Military. The Greek Ministry of Finance also announced tax probes into the local operations of Siemens.
 
    In July 2008, the Central Anti-Corruption Office of Poland executed a search warrant at the premises of Siemens Poland in connection with a corruption investigation relating to the former Com group.
 
    As previously reported, the Company requested arbitration against the Republic of Argentina before the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) of the World Bank. The Company claimed that Argentina unlawfully terminated the Company’s contract for the development and operation of a system for the production of identity cards, border control, collection of data and voters’ registers and thereby violated the Bilateral Investment Protection Treaty between Argentina and Germany (BIT). The Company sought damages for expropriation and violation of the BIT of approximately U.S.$500 million. Argentina disputed jurisdiction of the ICSID arbitration tribunal and argued in favor of jurisdiction of the Argentine administrative courts. The arbitration tribunal rendered a decision on August 4, 2004, finding that it had jurisdiction over the Company’s claims and that the Company was entitled to present its claims. A hearing on the merits of the case took place before the ICSID arbitration tribunal in Washington in October 2005. A unanimous decision on the merits was rendered on February 6, 2007, awarding the Company compensation in the amount of U.S.$217.8 million on account of the value of its investment and consequential damages, plus compound interest thereon at a rate of 2.66% since May 18, 2001. The tribunal also ruled that Argentina is obligated to indemnify the Company against any claims of subcontractors in relation to the project (amounting to approximately U.S.$44 million) and, furthermore, that Argentina would be obligated to pay the Company the full amount of the contract performance bond (U.S.$20 million) in the event this bond was not returned within the time period set by the tribunal (which period subsequently elapsed without delivery). On June 4, 2007, Argentina filed with the ICSID an application for the annulment and stay of enforcement of the award, alleging serious procedural irregularities. An ad hoc committee has been appointed to consider Argentina’s application. On June 6, 2008, Argentina filed with the ICSID an application for revision and request for stay of enforcement of the award alleging the discovery of new, previously unknown facts that would have decisively affected the award. Argentina relies on information reported in the media alleging bribery by the Company, which it argues makes the BIT inapplicable. The application was registered by the ICSID on June 9, 2008 and forwarded to the original members of the ICSID arbitration tribunal. The application for revision may result in a stay with respect to Argentina’s application for annulment pending before the ad hoc committee.
 
    Pursuant to an agreement of June 6, 2005, the Company sold its mobile devices business to Qisda Corp. (formerly named BenQ Corp.), a Taiwanese company. A dispute arose in 2006 between the Company and Qisda concerning the calculation of the purchase price. Beginning in September 2006, several subsidiaries in different countries used by Qisda for purposes of the acquisition filed for insolvency protection and failed to fulfill their obligations under various contracts transferred to them by the Company under the agreement. On December 8, 2006, the Company initiated arbitration proceedings against Qisda requesting a declaratory award that certain allegations made by Qisda in relation to the purchase price calculation are unjustified. The Company further requested an order that Qisda perform its obligations and/or the obligations of its local subsidiaries assumed in connection with the acquisition or, in the alternative, that Qisda indemnify the Company for any losses. The Company’s request for arbitration was filed with the

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
    International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. The seat of arbitration is Zurich, Switzerland. In March 2007, Qisda raised a counterclaim alleging that the Company made misrepresentations in connection with the sale of the mobile devices business and asserted claims in connection with the purchase price. Qisda amended its counterclaim in March 2008 by (i) changing its request for declaratory relief with regard to the alleged misrepresentations to a request for substantial damages, and (ii) raising further claims for substantial damages and declaratory relief. The Company will request that the arbitral tribunal dismiss the counterclaim.
The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in the United States and other 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, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In addition, the scope of pending investigations may be expanded and new investigations commenced in connection with allegations of bribery and other illegal acts. The Company’s operating activities, financial results and reputation may also be negatively affected, particularly due to imposed penalties, fines, disgorgements, compensatory damages, the formal or informal exclusion from public procurement contracts or the loss of business licenses or permits. In addition to the amounts previously reported, including the fine imposed by the Munich district court, no material charges or provisions for any such penalties, fines, disgorgements or damages have been recorded or accrued as management does not yet have enough information to estimate such amounts reliably. We expect that we will need to record expenses and provisions in the future for penalties, fines or other charges, which could be material, in connection with the investigations. On January 24, 2008, the Company announced, at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, that the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice had agreed to begin discussions with the Company regarding a possible settlement of their investigations into possible violations of U.S. law in connection with allegations of corruption. The Company anticipates that such discussions will continue over many months. The Company will also have to bear the costs of continuing investigations and related legal proceedings, as well as the costs of on-going remediation efforts. Furthermore, changes affecting the Company’s course of business or changes to its compliance programs beyond those already taken may be required.
For certain legal proceedings information required under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets is not disclosed, if the Company concludes that the disclosure can be expected to prejudice seriously the outcome of the litigation.
In addition to the investigations and legal proceedings described in Siemens’ Annual Report as well as in Form 20-F and as updated above, Siemens AG and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in connection with their activities as a global diversified group. Some of these pending proceedings have been previously disclosed. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Siemens is from time to time also involved in regulatory investigations beyond those described in its Annual Report as well as Form 20-F and as updated above. Siemens is cooperating with the relevant authorities in several jurisdictions and, where appropriate, conducts internal investigations regarding potential wrongdoing with the assistance of in-house and external counsel. Given the number of legal actions and other proceedings to which Siemens is subject, some may result in adverse decisions. Siemens contests actions and proceedings when it considers it appropriate. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, Siemens may not be able to predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. The final resolution of the matters discussed in this paragraph could have a material effect on Siemens’ consolidated operating results for any reporting period in which an adverse decision is rendered. However, Siemens does not currently expect its consolidated financial position to be materially affected by the additional legal matters discussed in this paragraph.
13. Share-based payment
Share-based payment plans at Siemens are predominantly designed as equity-settled plans and to a certain extent as cash-settled plans. Total pre-tax expense for share-based payment recognized in Net income in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 amounted to 16 and 95, respectively, and 76 and 154 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Related income tax benefits amount to 5 and 36, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and 23 and 59, respectively, for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
For a description of the Siemens share-based payment plans, see the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2007.

15. Segment information
In fiscal 2008, the Company rearranged its organization to have a more focused Company which is faster in the market and closer to the customer. The previous twelve reportable segments referred to as Groups were consolidated and newly structured into six remaining reportable segments each having its own segment management reporting to the Board. In the new structure, the Company is divided into Sectors being Industry, Energy and Healthcare, a segment for Strategic Equity Investments (SEI) and two segments referred to as Cross-Sector Businesses, composed of Siemens IT Solutions and Services and Siemens Financial Services (SFS). Industry is mainly composed of the previous segments Automation and Drives (A&D), Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S), Siemens Building Technologies (SBT), Osram and Transportation Systems (TS). Energy is primarily combining the previous segments Power Generation (PG) and Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD). Healthcare generally comprises the previous Medical Solutions (Med) segment. However, in certain instances, some businesses of the previous segments were transferred to and integrated in other segments to correspond to the new structure. SEI, Siemens IT Solutions and Services and SFS, in general, retained its previous structure. Siemens Real Estate (SRE) is no longer a segment.
Commencing with the second half of fiscal 2008, Siemens changed its financial reporting structure to reflect the Company’s new organization. Prior year information has been reclassified to correspond to the new reporting format. Segment information is presented for continuing operations. Accordingly, current and prior period segment information excludes discontinued operations (for discontinued operations see Note 2 of this report as well as Note 4 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2007). The Company removed its previous component model presentation which used to divide Siemens’ consolidated financial statements into Operations, Financing and Real Estate and Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury.
Description of reportable segments
Sectors
The three Sectors comprise manufacturing, industrial and commercial goods, solutions and services in areas more or less related to Siemens’ origins in the electrical business field.
Industry
The Industry Sector offers sustainable solutions for efficient use of resources and energy, integrated technologies for best-in-class productivity and flexibility, and holistic solutions for infrastructure and mobility.
Energy
The Siemens Energy Sector primarily addresses energy providers, but also industrial companies particularly in the oil and gas industry. Energy offers a complete spectrum of products, services and solutions for the generation, transmission and distribution of power, and for the extraction, conversion and transport of oil and gas.
Healthcare
The Healthcare Sector offers products and complete solutions, services and consulting related to the healthcare industry and serves its customers as fully integrated diagnostics provider. Healthcare maintains a comprehensive portfolio of medical solutions and is present in substantially the complete value-added chain ranging from medical imaging and laboratory diagnostics to clinical IT.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
Strategic Equity Investments (SEI)
Strategic Equity Investments contains strategically important investments, accounted for under the equity method. SEI, a reportable segment, established at the beginning of fiscal 2007, driven by the formation of NSN, has its own management and comprises investments in NSN (see Note 4 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2007 for further information), BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH) and Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) BV (FSC).
Cross Sector Businesses
Siemens IT Solutions and Services
Siemens IT Solutions and Services, established in April 2007, provides information and communications services primarily to customers in the commercial/industrial sector, in the service and healthcare industry as well as to the public sector. Siemens IT Solutions and Services builds and operates both discrete and large-scale information and communications systems.
Siemens Financial Services (SFS)
SFS offers a variety of financial products and services within the Siemens Group, to Siemens customers and to third parties.
Reconciliation to consolidated financial statements
Reconciliation to consolidated financial statements contains businesses and items not directly related to Siemens’ reportable segments:
Other Operations primarily refers to operating activities not associated with a Siemens segment and certain net assets recently acquired as part of acquisitions for which the allocation to the cash generating units and segments are not yet finalized. In the first half of fiscal 2008, Siemens determined a course of action for each of the activities within Other Operations and began executing corresponding measures. Options under this transformation program include integration into Siemens segments, divestment, joint venture or closure.
Siemens Real Estate (SRE), which no longer exists as a segment, owns and manages a substantial part of Siemens’ real estate portfolio and offers a range of services encompassing real estate development, real estate disposal and asset management, as well as lease and services management.
Corporate items and pensions includes corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, corporate projects and non-operating investments or results of corporate-related derivative activities. Pensions includes the Company’s pension related income (expense) not allocated to the segments, SRE or Other Operations.
Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items comprises consolidation of transactions within the segments, certain reconciliation and reclassification items and the activities of the Company’s Corporate Treasury. It also includes interest income and expense, such as, for example, interest not allocated to segments or Other Operations (referred to as financing interest), interest related to Corporate Treasury activities or resulting consolidation and reconciliation effects on interest.
Measurement — Segments
While the Company’s organization was rearranged in fiscal 2008, in general, Siemens retained its previous performance measurements for the segments.
Accounting policies for Segment Information are generally the same as those used for Siemens, which are described in Note 2 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2007. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments. Intersegment transactions are generally based on market prices.
Profit of the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services:
Siemens’ Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the segments. The Company’s profitability measure for the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services is earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs, and income taxes (Profit) as determined by Management as the chief operating decision maker. Profit excludes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services since Management does not regard such items as indicative of their performance. Profit represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market financing issues. The major categories of items excluded from Profit are presented below.

48


Table of Contents

SIEMENS
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
Financing interest, excluded from Profit, is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Profit because decision-making regarding financing is typically made at the corporate level.
Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Profit primarily includes amounts related to service costs of pension plans only, while all other regularly recurring pension related costs (including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs) are included in the line item Corporate items and pensions.
Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Profit since income tax is subject to legal structures which typically do not correspond to the structure of the segments.
The effect of certain litigation and compliance issues is excluded from Profit, if such items are not indicative of the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services’ performance, since their related results of operations may be distorted by the amount and the irregular nature of such events. This may also be the case for items that refer to more than one reportable segment, SRE and/or Other Operations or have a corporate or central character.
Profit of the segment SFS:
Profit of the segment SFS is Income before income taxes. In contrast to performance measurement principles applied to the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services, interest income and expense is an important source of revenue and expense of SFS.
Asset measurement principles:
Management determined Assets as a measure to assess capital intensity of the Sectors, SEI and Siemens IT Solutions and Services (Net capital employed). Its definition corresponds to the Profit measure. It is based on Total assets of the Balance Sheet, primarily excluding intragroup financing receivables, intragroup investments and tax related assets, since the corresponding positions are excluded from Profit. The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest-bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities (e.g. trade payables) and provisions to derive Assets. In contrast, Assets of SFS is Total assets. A reconciliation of Assets disclosed in Segment Information to Total assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented below.
New orders:
New orders are determined principally as estimated revenue of accepted purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent.
Free cash flow definition:
Segment Information discloses Free cash flow and Additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Free cash flow of the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services constitutes net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. It excludes Financing interest as well as income tax related and certain other payments and proceeds, in accordance with the Company’s Profit and Asset measurement definition. Free cash flow of SFS, a financial services business, includes related financing interest payments and proceeds; income tax payments and proceeds of SFS are excluded.
Amortization, depreciation and impairments:
Amortization, depreciation and impairments presented in Segment Information includes depreciation and impairments of property, plant and equipment as well as amortization and impairments of intangible assets other than goodwill and impairment of non-current available-for-sale financial assets and investments accounted for using the equity method.
Measurement — Other Operations and SRE
Other Operations follows the measurement principles of the Sectors, SEI, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services. SRE applies the measurement principles of SFS.

At the end of July 2008, Siemens announced the sale of a 51% stake in Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN) to The Gores Group, a U.S.-based financial and operational management firm.

Review report
To Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich (the Company) - comprising the balance sheet, the statements of income, income and expense recognized in equity and cash flow and selected explanatory notes - together with the interim group management report of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, for the period from October 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008 that are part of the quarterly financial report according to § 37x Abs. 3 WpHG. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review. In addition we have been instructed to issue a report as to whether no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with full IFRS.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) under additional consideration of International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and with full IFRS, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor’s report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and with full IFRS, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
