Earnings Release Q2 2009
(January 1 to March 31, 2009)
     
 
Munich, April 29, 2009
 
Stronger Headwinds, Steady Execution
Revenue and Income Rise
Book-to-Bill Again Above 1
     
Peter Löscher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG
  Financial Highlights:
 
   
(PHOTO) “In view of the deepening crises in the world economy, we are satisfied with our results in the second quarter,” commented Siemens CEO Peter Löscher. “We did particularly well compared to our competitors. The Energy and Healthcare Sectors continued their strong run. In the Industry Sector, short-cycle businesses were again clearly weaker. We introduced measures to safeguard profitability early on. We’ve already made a strong impact with the SG&A reduction program. Additional measures, such as our supply chain initiative, have been set in motion. Therefore we go forward with the expectation of exceeding Total Sectors profit of the prior fiscal year.”
 
   Revenue rose 5% to 18.955 billion on competitive strength at Energy and Healthcare.

   While orders of 20.864 billion came in 11% below the prior-year quarter, book-to-bill remained above 1. The order backlog of Siemens’ three Sectors increased to 87 billion, and included no material cancellations during the quarter.

   Total Sectors profit rose 43% from the prior-year level, to 1.844 billion, led by broad-based profit growth in Energy. A year earlier, Total Sectors profit included substantial charges stemming from reviews of large projects.

   Income from continuing operations climbed 69%, to 955 million, primarily on higher Total Sectors profit. SG&A expenses declined significantly compared to the prior-year quarter.

   Net income was 1.013 billion, up from 412 million in the second quarter a year earlier.

   Free cash flow from continuing operations was 1.138 billion, including substantially improved net working capital management in the Sectors.

Orders and Revenue
Revenue rises, book-to-bill
remains above 1
Revenue rose to 18.955 billion, up 5% from the second quarter a year earlier. Order intake was down 11% in a significantly weaker macroeconomic and financing environment, yet orders of 20.864 billion kept the book-to-bill ratio above 1 for the quarter and for the first half. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation effects and portfolio transactions, revenue rose 5% and orders came in 10% lower compared to the prior-year quarter. Customers slowed conversion of booked orders to revenue, and also postponed potential new orders.
Energy and Healthcare take
revenue higher
Energy delivered double-digit growth in Sector revenue and higher revenues at Healthcare benefited from positive currency translation effects. This more than offset a 4% decrease at Industry driven by lower demand in short-cycle businesses.
On a geographic basis, Siemens showed particular strength in the Americas and the region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Africa and the Middle East (Europe/CAME). Energy and Healthcare led revenue higher in the Americas, which benefited from positive currency translation effects in the U.S. Fossil Power Generation and Mobility were the primary revenue drivers in Europe/CAME.
Macroeconomic conditions
hold back order intake
Global macroeconomic and financing conditions continued to reduce consumer spending, business confidence and capital expenditures in the second quarter. This was particularly evident in such short-cycle industries as automotive, manufacturing and lighting. Longer-cycle energy and infrastructure customers postponed potential new business. Healthcare orders rose due mainly to positive currency translation effects, while Industry and Energy saw reduced order intake in most Divisions.
On a geographic basis, orders declined significantly in Europe/CAME and the Americas. In contrast, Asia, Australia posted higher orders compared to the prior-year period on the strength of major contract wins for high-speed trains in China and energy infrastructure in Iraq.

Income and Profit

Total Sectors profit climbs
led by Energy and Healthcare
Total Sectors profit for the second quarter climbed 43% year-over-year, to 1.844 billion. A year earlier, Total Sectors profit included charges of 768 million stemming from project reviews in the Fossil Power Generation Division and former Transportation Systems Group.
Energy was again the primary driver of Total Sectors profit growth, with all Divisions generating increases year-over-year. A year earlier, Fossil Power Generation took 559 million of the charges mentioned above. Healthcare also increased its Sector profit despite challenging market conditions. Sector profit declined significantly at Industry primarily due to volume-driven margin pressure.
Higher Total Sectors profit,
substantial SG&A reduction
Income from continuing operations was 955 million, up 69% compared to the second quarter a year earlier. Basic EPS on a continuing basis rose to 1.05 from 0.59 in the prior-year period. The primary factor in these increases was higher Total Sectors profit. Other contributors included lower expenses for Corporate items and higher profits from Cross-Sector businesses, due mainly to significantly lower project charges at Siemens IT Solutions and Services.
Following a strategic review during the current period, the electronic assembly systems business was classified as held for sale and management responsibility was transferred from the Drive Technologies Division to Other Operations. This business had a loss of 86 million, increasing the loss from Other Operations as a whole. In addition, Equity Investments turned negative due to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN).
Positive results from Siemens’ SG&A reduction program were already evident in the quarter, with SG&A expenses coming in significantly below the second-quarter level a year earlier.
Net income rises strongly on
higher income from continuing operations
Net income was 1.013 billion, up from 412 million in the second quarter a year earlier. Basic EPS rose to 1.11 from 0.42 in the prior-year period. Income from continuing operations was the dominant factor in net income. Discontinued operations benefited from settlement of legal matters related to the former Communications Group (Com). A year earlier, discontinued operations included severance charges in the enterprise networks business, which was divested between the periods under review.

Cash, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), Pension Funding Status
Free cash flow improves
from Q1 on asset management
At a Sector level, Free cash flow was 1.901 billion, nearly level compared to the prior-year quarter despite outflows related to project review charges and restructuring. Net working capital management substantially improved Free cash flow in the Sectors compared to the first quarter of the fiscal year.
Free cash flow from continuing operations was lower than in the prior-year period. The current period included the cash outflows mentioned above as well as payments related to Siemens’ SG&A reduction program. These factors together totaled approximately 350 million.
ROCE rises on higher income
On a continuing basis, ROCE for the second quarter increased to 9.2% from 5.5% in the prior-year period. This improvement was due primarily to higher income from continuing operations. For comparison, income from continuing operations in the second quarter a year ago was burdened by significant charges resulting from project reviews as mentioned above.
Successful bond issue
Siemens enhanced its liquidity position with 4.0 billion in proceeds from a second-quarter bond issue, which was heavily oversubscribed.
Pension underfunding
increases
The estimated underfunding of Siemens’ principal pension plans as of March 31, 2009, amounted to approximately 5.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of approximately 4.3 billion at the end of the first quarter and approximately 2.5 billion at the end of fiscal 2008. The decline in funding status since December 31, 2008 is due primarily to a negative return on plan assets. While the change in funding status in general does not affect earnings for the current fiscal year, it reduces equity on the balance sheet.

Sectors     5
Industry Sector

Strong headwinds from market conditions
As expected, the Industry Sector experienced significant impact from the macroeconomic environment. This was particularly evident at Industry Automation, Drive Technologies and OSRAM, where cost-reduction measures are still ramping up. Revenue declines in these Divisions reversed economies of scale that produced peak margins in prior periods, and Sector profit fell to 671 million. While revenue increased at Industrial Solutions and Building Technologies, customers at both Divisions began to postpone booked orders from prior periods. With improved execution and lower exposure to macroeconomic conditions, the Mobility Division delivered profitable growth in the second quarter.
On a geographic basis, revenue and orders declined in Europe/CAME and the Americas. Order growth in Asia, Australia included a particularly large train order in China, which kept the Sector’s book-to-bill ratio above 1 and its order backlog at 32 billion. Industry expects continued impacts from the macroeconomic environment, especially in its short-cycle activities.
Demand declines put
pressure on profit margins
The factors discussed above for the Sector were most pronounced at Industry Automation, producing substantially reduced results compared to both the prior-year period and the preceding quarter.
Destocking continued among the Division’s manufacturing customers. Revenues declined 21% and orders fell 28%, led by Europe/CAME, the Division’s largest regional market. With smaller business volumes and lower capacity utilization, Industry Automation saw profit margins fall in all business units. As a result, profit came in at 97 million, well below the prior-year quarter. Both periods included margin impacts from the Division’s acquisition of UGS in fiscal 2007. PPA effects were 36 million in the current quarter. In the prior-year period, purchase price accounting (PPA) effects were 26 million along with integration costs of 2 million.
Demand drops for short-cycle
manufacturing solutions
Continuing deterioration in market conditions took revenue down 7% at Drive Technologies. Lower capacity utilization in turn pressured profit margins in all business units. Profit declined compared to the second quarter a year earlier, and also fell for the third consecutive quarter.
The current and prior-year periods both included 9 million in PPA effects from the acquisition of Flender Holding GmbH in 2005. PPA effects are expected to continue at this level in coming quarters. Orders fell sharply in all regions compared to the prior-year quarter, with the sharpest declines in Europe/CAME and the Americas. Following a strategic review during the second quarter, the electronic assembly business for which Siemens initiated a carve-out during fiscal 2008 was classified as held for sale and management responsibility was transferred from Drive Technologies to Other Operations. The presentation of prior year financial information has been reclassified accordingly.
Initial effects from
construction slowdown
The slowdown in the global construction industry began reaching Building Technologies in the second quarter. Orders fell throughout the division, including customer postponement of projects. As a result, the Division’s book-to-bill ratio came in below 1 for the quarter. On a geographic basis, orders declined in all regions, most notably in Europe/CAME. While revenue remained stable compared to the same period a year earlier, customers began to delay execution of booked orders. Profit fell to 97 million due to a less favorable business mix.

Challenges spreading
across lighting business
Macroeconomic conditions remained challenging for OSRAM throughout the Division. Revenue fell 18%, including substantial demand declines in the automotive, construction and semiconductor markets. Lower capacity utilization took profits and profit margins down in all business units. OSRAM posted a profit of 8 million compared to 122 million in the prior-year period.
Prior orders lift revenue
as new demand declines
Industry Solutions delivered profit of 118 million. For comparison, the prior-year quarter benefited from a 30 million gain on the sale of a business. Revenue was up 11% due to peak orders in metals technologies in prior periods. In contrast, new orders for metals technology solutions fell sharply in the current quarter. Orders overall declined 13% year-over-year, including customer postponement of projects. During the quarter, customers began to delay execution of booked orders.
Continued project execution,
profitable growth
Mobility contributed another strong quarter, including order growth of 69%, revenue growth of 14%, and 106 million in profit. The Division’s profit margin improved on execution of higher-margin orders compared to the second quarter a year earlier. In addition, the prior-year period included 209 million in charges related to extensive project reviews. Orders in the rolling stock business rose substantially from a low base in the prior-year period. The increase year-over-year includes a particularly large contract for high-speed trains in China.

Sectors     7
Energy Sector

Global growth in revenue,
broad-based profit performance
With a strong performance across all Divisions, the Energy Sector was the top contributor to Total Sectors profit in the second quarter. Sector profit rose to 818 million, as Energy combined economies of scale with improvements in project execution compared to the prior-year quarter. For comparison, that period included charges of 559 million stemming from a review of projects in the fossil power generation business. All Divisions within the Sector posted at least double-digit increases in profit year-over-year, and profit margins remained in their target ranges at all Divisions.
Revenue for Energy climbed 28% compared to the prior-year period, including growth in all regions. Due to deterioration in the macroeconomic and financing environment, customers postponed potential new business. Order intake slowed at nearly all Divisions, and orders for the Sector overall came in 9% below the high level of the prior-year period. Nevertheless, the book-to-bill ratio was 1.29 and there were no material order cancellations during the quarter, so Energy’s order backlog grew to 48 billion, including approximately 1.5 billion in new contracts for power generation and transmission in Iraq. The Sector expects continued pressure on order intake through fiscal 2009.
Improved execution drives
continued profit growth
The Fossil Power Generation Division was the top profit contributor among all Siemens Divisions, producing 312 million in profit in the second quarter, including a strong contribution from the service business. In the same period a year earlier, the Division took the 559 million in charges mentioned above following a review of turnkey projects, and subsequently focused on improving its margin quality and project execution. The project review also resulted in a 200 million revenue reduction in the prior-year period, lowering the basis of comparison for the Division’s 37% increase in revenue in the current quarter. While orders included approximately 1.1 billion from the contracts in Iraq mentioned above, customers postponed potential new projects. This reduced the volume from major orders year-over-year. As a result, second-quarter orders for Fossil Power Generation came in 17% lower compared to a peak level in the prior-year quarter. Siemens announced that it would exit its Areva NP joint venture, and its equity stake is now accounted for as held for sale. These changes are expected to substantially reduce volatility in the Division’s equity investment income.

Sectors     8
Better business mix,
economies of scale
The Renewable Energy Division delivered sharp increases in profit, revenue and orders in the second quarter. Profit climbed to 105 million from 35 million, driven by a combination of improved business mix and economies of scale. Orders surged to 1.587 billion after two quarters at relatively reduced levels, driven by a large order for turbines
for offshore wind-farms in Europe. This and other major contract wins have weighted the Division’s backlog toward long-lead-time offshore projects.
Balanced profit growth,
improved margins
The Oil & Gas Division produced 121 million in profit in the second quarter, and all business units increased their profit margins compared
to the same quarter a year earlier. Macroeconomic and financing conditions slowed order intake compared to the same quarter a year earlier.
Sustained profit performances
in the power grid businesses
Power Transmission brought in 168 million in profit on a 20% increase in revenue. Orders fell 20% from the prior-year level, as the macroeconomic and financing environment led customers to postpone a significant volume of planned projects. This trend had a similar effect on orders at Power Distribution, and is expected to have an impact on revenue in coming quarters because the Division’s business mix includes a significant proportion of industrial customers whose postponements affect near-term order conversion into revenue. In the current quarter Power Distribution generated 106 million in profit and revenue rose 21% in part due to a low basis of comparison in the prior-year period.

Sectors     9
Healthcare Sector

Strong competitive performance
drives profit and volume growth
The Healthcare Sector again showed its strength under tough market conditions, as the financing and macroeconomic environment continued to depress demand and increase competitive pressure. Sector profit increased 4%, to 355 million. The Diagnostics Division recorded a total of 64 million in PPA effects and integration costs associated with acquisitions. PPA effects and integration costs reduced Sector profit margin by approximately 210 basis points in the second quarter, compared to approximately 370 basis points in the prior-year period.
Healthcare posted a 10% increase in revenue and 6% rise in orders. Excluding the benefit of positive currency translation effects, revenue was up 4% and orders were up 1%. The book-to-bill ratio came in just below 1 and the backlog remained at 7 billion. Healthcare expects continued deterioration in market conditions.
Strong execution in
tough market conditions
Imaging & IT was again a top earnings performer for Siemens, with second-quarter profit rising to 265 million on an increase in profit margin year-over-year. Tight credit and the economic downturn continued to constrain market growth, particularly in the U.S. and Japan. Growth in the region Asia, Australia outside of Japan and in Europe/CAME offset this weakness. On an organic basis, revenue for the Division was up 3% and orders declined 1%. The book-to-bill ratio was below 1.
New product introduction
takes toll on profit margin
Profit at Diagnostics rose to 54 million for the second quarter, up 10% from the prior-year quarter. The Division’s profit margin was reduced by PPA effects of 47 million and integration costs of 17 million associated with acquisitions. These factors together amounted to approximately 750 basis points. A year earlier, second-quarter PPA and
integration costs at Diagnostics were 50 million and 52 million, respectively, and cut approximately 1,240 basis points from profit margin.

Profit margin was influenced by effects related to new product introduction. Second-quarter revenue was up 6% year-over-year and orders rose 5%. On an organic basis, primarily excluding currency translation effects, both
revenue and orders were level with the prior-year period, as growth in Asia, Australia excluding Japan offset weakness in the Division’s large U.S. market.
Economic headwinds push down
profit in solutions businesses
Challenges related to the macroeconomic and financing environment intensified at Workflow & Solutions. While the Division posted higher revenue overall, key solutions businesses experienced revenue declines that reduced their profitability compared to the prior-year period. Combined with pricing pressure, this reduced profit and profit margin for the Division overall.

Equity Investments and Cross-Sector Businesses     11
Equity Investments and Cross-Sector Businesses

Equity Investments turns
negative due to NSN
Equity Investments includes equity stakes not allocated to a Sector or Cross-Sector Business by reason of strategic fit as well as available-for-sale securities. Major components of Equity Investments include our shares in NSN and
BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. Equity Investments recorded a loss of 113 million in the second quarter compared to a profit of 35 million a year earlier. The difference was mainly due to NSN, which posted a loss of 136 million compared to a loss of 45 million in the
prior-year period. The change year-over-year included an operating loss as well as higher restructuring and integration costs. Income from equity investments is expected to be volatile in coming quarters.


Higher contribution from Cross Sector Businesses
Siemens IT Solutions and Services posted a profit of 25 million compared to a loss of 35 million in the second
quarter a year earlier, which included significant charges related to large projects in the U.K. Project charges were significantly lower in the current period. Profitability was held back by pricing pressure and a 10% decline in
revenue year-over-year. Orders fell 25% compared to the prior-year period, which included two major orders.


(GRAPHIC)

Income before income taxes at Siemens Financial Services (SFS) was 117 million in the second quarter compared to 101 million in the same period a year earlier. The current quarter included higher interest income and
higher results from internal services business, partly offset by a further increase in reserves for the commercial finance business. Return on Equity (ROE) decreased but remained significantly above the target range.
ROE is calculated as annualized Income before income taxes divided by average allocated equity, which was 1.176 billion compared to 863 million in the prior-year period.

Other Operations, Corporate Activities and Eliminations     12
Other Operations, Corporate Activities and Eliminations

Electronics assembly business impacts Other Operations
Other Operations consist primarily of operating business activities not allocated to a Sector or Cross-Sector Business which are to be integrated into a Siemens Sector or Cross-Sector Business, divested, moved to a joint venture, or closed. Progress with these actions reduced revenue from Other Operations to 211 million in the second quarter, down from 730 million in the same period a year earlier.
Following a strategic review during the current period the electronic assembly systems business was classified as held for sale. Management responsibility was transferred from Drive Technologies to Other Operations. The electronic assembly business held for sale posted a loss of 86 million including charges related to impairments and severance expenses. This in turn increased the loss from Other Operations to 105 million from a loss of 64 million in the second quarter a year earlier. A loss related to the divestment of an industrial manufacturing unit in Austria was mostly offset by positive effects related to former Com activities. The prior-year period included expenses of 46 million related to the closure of a regional payphone unit in Europe, primarily for severance.
Real estate disposals continue
Income before income taxes at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) was 37 million in the second quarter, down from 60 million in the same period a year earlier, primarily due to lower gains from sales of real estate. SRE intends to continue real estate disposals in coming quarters, depending on market conditions.
During the second quarter, Siemens sold residential real estate holdings to a consortium comprising Wohnbau GmbH, the GBW Gruppe and the Volkswohnung GmbH. This transaction is expected to produce a substantial gain in the third quarter.
Central costs again decline on lower compliance expenses
Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative 442 million in the second quarter compared to a negative 522 million in the same period a year earlier. The improvement was due to Corporate items, which were a negative 359 million compared to a negative 526 million in the prior-year period. Within this change, expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into legal and regulatory matters declined again, to 33 million from 148 million in the second quarter
a year earlier. This more than offset 33 million in net negative effects related to severance programs and a charge related to legal and regulatory matters. The prior-year period included 64 million related to a regional sales organization in Germany, primarily including an impairment, as well as a 32 million donation to the Siemens Foundation in the U.S. Similar to the first quarter, centrally carried pension expense swung to a negative 83 million from a positive 4 million in the second quarter a year earlier, due primarily to higher benefit costs related to Siemens’ principal pension plans.
Impact from interest rate hedges
Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 was a negative 28 million, compared to a negative 74 million in the prior-year period. The difference was due mainly to improved results from hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting related in particular to a decline in euro interest rates.

Subsequent Events     13
Subsequent Events
After the close of the second quarter, Siemens completed the previously announced sale of its stake in Fujitsu Siemens Computers B.V. to Fujitsu Limited.
On April 24, 2009, after the close
of the second quarter, Siemens and
The Gores Group agreed to a settlement regarding pending requirements for purchase price adjustment and further mutual obligations. Siemens expects this settlement to result in a positive income effect within discontinued operations in the third quarter.


Outlook
The current macroeconomic and financing environment shows no evidence of near-term improvement. Despite these conditions, Total Sectors profit for fiscal 2009 is expected to exceed the prior-year level of 6.6 billion. We expect growth in income from continuing operations in fiscal 2009 to exceed growth in Total Sectors profit. This outlook excludes
portfolio effects and impacts from legal and regulatory matters. For fiscal 2009 Siemens targeted revenue growth at least twice the rate of actual global GDP growth. If GDP growth is negative, this means that a percentage decline in revenue for Siemens would be targeted at less than half the rate of decline in global GDP.

Legal Proceedings – First six months of fiscal 2009
For information regarding investigations 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, 2008 (Annual Report) and its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 (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,” and “Item 15: Controls and Procedures” of the Form 20-F.
Significant developments regarding investigations and other legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of Siemens’ Annual Report and Form 20-F are described below.
Public corruption proceedings
Governmental and related proceedings
On December 15, 2008, Siemens AG announced that legal proceedings against it arising from allegations of bribing public officials were concluded on the same day in Munich, Germany, and in Washington, DC.
The Munich public prosecutor announced the termination of legal proceedings alleging the failure of the former Managing Board of Siemens AG to fulfill its supervisory duties. Siemens agreed to pay a fine of 395 million. The payment of the fine marks the conclusion of this legal proceeding against the Company by the Munich public prosecutor. The investigations of former members of the Managing Board, employees of the Company and other individuals remain unaffected by this resolution.
In Washington, DC, Siemens AG pleaded guilty in federal court to criminal charges of knowingly circumventing and failing to maintain adequate internal controls and failing to comply with the books and records provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In related cases, three Siemens foreign subsidiaries, Siemens S.A. (Argentina), Siemens Bangladesh Ltd. and Siemens S.A. (Venezuela), pleaded guilty to individual counts of conspiracy to violate the FCPA. In connection with these pleas, Siemens AG and the three subsidiaries agreed to pay a fine of US$450 million to resolve the charges of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). At the same time, Siemens AG settled a civil action against it brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for violations of the FCPA. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the SEC complaint, Siemens agreed to the entry of a court judgment permanently restraining and enjoining Siemens AG from violations of the FCPA and to the disgorgement of profits in the amount of US$350 million.
The agreement reflects the U.S. prosecutors’ express recognition of Siemens’ extraordinary cooperation as well as Siemens’ new and comprehensive compliance program and extensive remediation efforts. Based on these facts, the lead agency for U.S. federal government contracts, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), issued a formal determination that Siemens remains a responsible contractor for U.S. government business.
Under the terms of the plea and settlement agreements reached in the United States, Siemens has engaged Dr. Theo Waigel, former German federal finance minister, as compliance monitor to evaluate and report, for a period of up to four years, on the Company’s progress in implementing and operating its new compliance programs.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company accrued a provision in the amount of approximately 1 billion in connection with the discussions with the Munich public prosecutor, the SEC and DOJ for the purpose of resolving their respective investigations. Cash outflows relating to the fines and disgorgements referred to above during the first quarter of fiscal 2009 amounted to 1.008 billion.
As previously reported, in October 2007, the Munich public prosecutor terminated a similar investigation relating to Siemens’ former telecommunications or Communications (Com) Group. Siemens paid 201 million in connection with the termination of this investigation. This brings the total amount paid to authorities in Germany in connection with these legal proceedings to 596 million.

As previously reported, in August 2007, the Nuremberg-Fürth prosecutor began an investigation into possible violations of law in connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. In December 2008, the prosecutor dismissed charges against all accused.
As previously reported, the Sao Paulo, Brazil, Public Prosecutor’s Office is conducting an investigation against Siemens relating to the use of business consultants and suspicious payments in connection with the former Transportation Systems Group in or after 2000.
On March 9, 2009, Siemens received a decision by the Vendor Review Committee of the United Nations Secretariat Procurement Division (UNPD) suspending Siemens AG from the UNPD vendor database for a minimum period of six months. The suspension applies to contracts with the UN Secretariat and stems from Siemens’ guilty plea in December 2008 to violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Siemens does not expect a significant financial impact from this decision. The review of the decision is pending.
In April 2009, the Company received a “Notice of Commencement of Administrative Proceedings and Recommendations of the Evaluation and Suspension Officer” from the World Bank in connection with allegations of sanctionable practices during the period 2004-2006 relating to a World Bank-financed project in Russia. Based on allegations by the World Bank’s Department of Institutional Integrity, the Evaluation and Suspension Officer of the World Bank (the Officer) has determined that, assuming the facts alleged by the World Bank’s Department of Institutional Integrity to be true, the evidence is sufficient to support a finding of sanctionable conduct. The Officer has recommended to the World Bank’s Sanctions Board (the Sanctions Board) that the Sanctions Board determine that Siemens AG, together with any organization directly or indirectly controlled by Siemens AG, should be declared ineligible to be awarded a contract under any World Bank-financed or World Bank-executed project (the Projects) and to receive the proceeds of any loan made by the World Bank or otherwise to participate further in the preparation or implementation of any Project. The recommended period of ineligibility, if it were to be imposed by the Sanctions Board, would last up to eight years, but could be reduced by up to seven years if Siemens AG has taken appropriate steps to cooperate with the World Bank and has maintained an effective corporate compliance program acceptable to the World Bank. If imposed, the recommended ineligibility would extend across the World Bank Group, including the International Finance Corporation, the Multilateral Insurance Guarantee Agency and investment projects guaranteed by the World Bank. Siemens has not yet had an opportunity to be heard on the matter and intends, in accordance with the World Bank’s administrative sanctions proceedings, to submit a written response and to contest the Officer’s recommendation. In accordance with the World Bank’s administrative sanctions proceedings, Siemens will request a hearing of the Sanctions Board on the matter. Upon such contest and request, the matter will be referred to the Sanctions Board which will decide after a hearing, whether the evidence supports a finding of sanctionable practices and will determine the sanctions, if any, to be imposed on Siemens AG or any other Siemens entity. In determining the appropriate sanction, the Sanctions Board will not be bound by the recommendation of the Officer. Pending a final outcome of the sanctions proceedings, Siemens AG will be temporarily suspended from eligibility to be awarded additional Projects and to participate in new activities under the Projects, unless the Officer determines, upon a written submission by Siemens AG, that a suspension should not come into effect. Siemens AG intends to make such a submission.
The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in several jurisdictions around the world. As a result, additional criminal or civil sanctions could be brought against the Company itself or against certain of its employees in connection with possible violations of law. In addition, the scope of pending investigations may be expanded and new investigations commenced in connection with allegations of bribery 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, third-party litigation, including by competitors, the formal or informal exclusion from public procurement contracts or the loss of business licenses or permits. Additional expenses and provisions may need to be recorded in the future for penalties, fines, damages or other charges, which could be material, in connection with the investigations.
Civil litigation
As previously reported, an alleged holder of Siemens AG American Depositary Shares filed a derivative lawsuit in February 2007 with the Supreme Court of the State of New York against certain current and former members of Siemens AG’s Managing and Supervisory Boards as well as against Siemens AG as a nominal defendant, seeking various forms of relief relating to the allegations of corruption and related violations at Siemens. The stay agreement with respect to the suit was terminated in December 2008.

As previously disclosed, in June 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed 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 among the 93 named defendants. During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, Siemens S.A.S France and Siemens A.S. Turkey received service of process.
The Company has been approached by a competitor to discuss claims it believes it has against the Company with respect to alleged improper payments by the Company in connection with the procurement of public and private contracts. The Company has not received sufficient information to evaluate whether any basis exists for such claims.
Siemens’ response
As previously reported, the Company investigates evidence of bank accounts at various locations, as well as the amount of the funds. Certain funds have been frozen by authorities. During the first six months of fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an amount of 21 million in other operating income from the recovery of funds from certain such accounts.
Antitrust proceedings
As previously reported, in February 2007, the Norwegian Competition Authority launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving Norwegian companies active in the field of fire security, including Siemens Building Technologies AS. In December 2008, the Norwegian Competition Authority issued a final decision that Siemens Building Technologies AS had not violated antitrust regulations.
As previously reported, in February 2007, the European Commission launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving European producers of power transformers, including Siemens AG and VA Tech, which Siemens acquired in July 2005. The German Antitrust Authority (Bundeskartellamt) has become involved in the proceeding and is responsible for investigating those allegations that relate to the German market. Power transformers are electrical equipment used as major components in electric transmission systems in order to adapt voltages. The Company is cooperating in the ongoing investigation with the European Commission and the German Antitrust Authority. In November 2008, the European Commission finalized its investigation and forwarded its statement of objections to the involved companies.
As previously reported, on October 25, 2007, upon the Company’s appeal, a Hungarian competition court reduced administrative fines imposed on Siemens AG for alleged antitrust violations in the market of high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear from 0.320 million to 0.120 million and from 0.640 million to 0.110 million regarding VA Tech. The Company and the Competition Authority appealed the decision. In November 2008, the Court of Appeal confirmed the reduction of the fines. On December 5, 2008, the Competition Authority filed an extraordinary challenge with the Supreme Court based on alleged violations of law.
As previously reported, a suit and motion for approval of a class action was filed in Israel in December 2007 to commence a class action based on the fines imposed by the European Commission for alleged antitrust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market. Thirteen companies were named as defendants in the suit and motion, among them Siemens AG Germany, Siemens AG Austria and Siemens Israel Ltd. The class action alleged damages to electricity consumers in Israel in the amount of approximately 575 million related to higher electricity prices claimed to have been paid because of the alleged antitrust violations. At a hearing on December 11, 2008, the plaintiff requested to withdraw from the action and from the motion to certify the action as a class action. The court approved the request and dismissed the action and the motion to certify.
In November 2008, a claim was issued by National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc. (National Grid) in the High Court of England and Wales in connection with the January 24, 2007 decision of the European Commission regarding alleged antitrust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market. Twenty-one companies have been named as defendants, including Siemens AG and Siemens affiliates. National Grid asserts claims in the aggregate amount of approximately £249 million for damages and compound interest. Siemens believes National Grid’s claim to be without merit and intends to contest it.

In December 2008, the Company was informed that the Turkish Competition Authority has opened an investigation into violations of competition law in the area of medical equipment spare parts and service keys.
Other proceedings
In February 2007, the Company announced that public prosecutors in Nuremberg are conducting an investigation of certain current and former employees of the Company on suspicion of criminal breach of fiduciary duties against Siemens, tax evasion and a violation of the German Works Council Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). The investigation related to an agreement entered into by Siemens with an entity controlled by the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger) and payments made during the period 2001 to 2006 for which Siemens may not have received commensurate services in return. In April 2007, the labor union IG Metall lodged a criminal complaint against unknown individuals on suspicion that the Company breached the provisions of Section 119 of the Works Council Constitution Act by providing undue preferential support to AUB in connection with elections of the members of the Company’s works councils. In November 2008, the Regional Court of Nuremberg-Fürth found a former member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG guilty of criminal breach of fiduciary duty and tax evasion. The Nuremberg-Fürth prosecutor is also conducting an investigation against two other former members of the Managing Board on suspicion of abetting breach of fiduciary duty.
Pursuant to an agreement dated June 6, 2005, the Company sold its mobile devices business to Qisda Corp. (formerly named BenQ Corp.), a Taiwanese company. As previously reported, a dispute arose in 2006 between the Company and Qisda concerning the calculation of the purchase price. From September 2006 onwards, several subsidiaries in different countries used by Qisda for purposes of the acquisition of various business assets from the Company filed for insolvency protection and failed to fulfill their obligations under various contracts transferred to them by the Company under the 2005 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 International Chamber of Commerce in Paris (ICC). 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 for the adjustment of the purchase price. In November 2007, the Company expanded its claims that Qisda indemnify the Company in relation to any losses suffered as a result of Qisda’s failure to perform its obligations and/or the obligations of its locally incorporated subsidiaries. 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 parties have resolved their disputes relating to Qisda Corp.’s purchase of the mobile device business. Upon joint request of the parties, the ICC issued an Award by Consent in March 2009.
As reported, the Company is member of a supplier consortium contracted by Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) for the construction of the nuclear power plant “Olkiluoto 3” in Finland. The Company’s share in the contract price payable to the supplier consortium is approximately 27%. The other member of the supplier consortium is a further consortium consisting of Areva NP SAS and its wholly-owned affiliate Areva NP GmbH. The agreed completion date for the nuclear power plant was April 30, 2009. The supplier consortium announced in January 2009 that it expected the project to be delayed by 38 months in total. Since the reasons for the delay are disputed, the supplier consortium filed a request for arbitration against TVO in December 2008. The supplier consortium has demanded an extension of the construction time and the payment of approximately 1 billion in outstanding down payments, as well as additional compensation. In its response to the request for arbitration, TVO rejected the demand for an extension of time and made counterclaims for damages relating to the delay, and interest on purportedly prematurely made down payments. Based on a delay of 38 months, TVO estimates that its total counterclaims against the supplier consortium amount to up to 1.4 billion.
On November 25, 2008, Siemens announced that the Company and the BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG Insolvency Administrator had reached a settlement after constructive discussions that began in 2006. In the settlement agreement, Siemens agreed to a gross payment of 300 million, which was paid in December 2008. However, the settlement is expected to result in a net payment of approximately 255 million after taking into account Siemens’ creditor claims. Since Siemens had made a sufficient provision for the expected settlement, the settlement will not have any material negative impact on results of operations for fiscal 2009.

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 and recessionary trends); the possibility that customers will delay conversion of booked orders into revenue or that our pricing power will be diminished by continued adverse market developments, to a greater extent than we currently expect; the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices, debt prices (credit spreads) and financial assets generally; continued volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the commercial credit environment and, in particular, additional uncertainties arising out of the subprime, financial market and liquidity crises; future financial performance of major industries that we serve, including, without limitation, the Sectors Industry, Energy and Healthcare; the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; 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, including corruption investigations to which we are currently subject and actions resulting from the findings of these investigations; 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.
