Orders and Revenue

Macroeconomy stabilizes but
capital investment still low
While the global economy showed increasing signs of stabilizing, capital investment was still restrained in industrial and infrastructure markets in developed countries. Fourth-quarter orders came in 16% below the same period a year earlier, while conversion of Siemens’ strong order backlog held the decline in fourth-quarter revenue to 9%. A book-to-bill ratio of 0.95 and currency translation effects took the order backlog to 81.2 billion at the end of the quarter. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue declined 7% and orders came in 14% lower compared to the same period a year earlier. Orders for the typically strong year-end quarter rose 9% from the third quarter.
Decline in Industry takes
revenue down in all regions
The Industry Sector was the primary factor in lower revenue year-over-year, reporting a 13% decline in the fourth quarter. In contrast, revenue was level in Energy on conversion of the Sector’s strong backlog, and rose 1% in Healthcare despite challenging macroeconomic and competitive conditions. Revenue and orders from Other Operations fell sharply due to streamlining activities during fiscal 2009.
Revenue came in lower in all regions, again due primarily to Industry. On a geographic basis, the sharpest declines came in the region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Africa and the Middle East (Europe/CAME) and in the Americas. Siemens expects market conditions to remain challenging in coming quarters.
Order strength in Asia, Australia
offset by other regions
Orders came in lower for all Sectors compared to the prior-year period. Orders declined 20% in Industry, as the recession’s effects became increasingly evident in the Sector’s longer-cycle businesses other than Mobility. Customers continued to delay potential new energy infrastructure projects, particularly for fossil power generation, taking Energy orders down 10%. Healthcare orders came in 2% below the prior-year level.
On a geographic basis, substantially lower volume from major orders at Fossil Power Generation in Europe/CAME contributed to a double-digit decline for the whole region. Fourth-quarter orders rose in Asia, Australia.

Income and Profit

Energy and Healthcare take Total Sectors profit up
Total Sectors profit in the fourth quarter increased to 1.923 billion from 1.533 billion a year earlier, on sharply higher profits in the Energy and Healthcare Sectors. The Industry Sector absorbed a volume-driven decline in profit due to the economic downturn, and also took net charges of 173 million for severance. For comparison, Total Sectors profit in the prior-year period was burdened by even higher charges related to previously disclosed transformation costs, totaling 151 million in Industry and 174 million in Healthcare. The fourth quarter a year earlier also included 162 million in negative profit impacts in Energy related to a power generation project in Olkiluoto, Finland.
Equity Investments loss offsets Total Sectors profit
Income from continuing operations was a negative 982 million compared to a negative 1.259 billion in the fourth quarter a year earlier, and basic EPS was a negative 1.21 compared to a negative 1.51. While total Sectors Profit was higher in the current quarter, due in part to successful implementation of measures to cut SG&A costs, Total Sectors profit in both periods was more than offset by other factors. The current quarter included a loss of 1.980 billion in the Equity Investments segment, as Siemens took an impairment of 1.634 billion on its stake in Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN) and also recorded a quarterly loss of 328 million due to the NSN stake. In addition, Corporate items included 169 million in net severance charges.
A year earlier, Corporate items included 1.081 billion in net severance charges associated with the global SG&A reduction program, a pretax provision of approximately 1 billion for subsequent settlements of legal and regulatory matters, and a one-time endowment of 390 million coinciding with establishment of the Siemens Stiftung (foundation).
Net income result driven by continuing operations
Net income was a negative 1.063 billion in the fourth quarter, including a loss of 81 million from discontinued operations, and basic EPS was a negative 1.31. A year earlier, fourth-quarter net income was a negative 2.420 billion and basic EPS was a negative 2.85. These results include a negative 1.161 billion from discontinued operations, primarily a negative 1.0 billion associated with the sale of a 51% stake of Siemens Enterprise Communications.

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

Free cash flow rises compared
to strong prior-year period
Free cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter increased to 3.158 billion from the strong prior-year quarter, as positive results from stringent asset management more than offset 208 million in payments arising from severance programs initiated in
prior periods.
As in the prior year, Free cash flow in the Sectors improved on a sequential basis substantially compared to the third quarter of the fiscal year. The current period benefited from strong net working capital management, including reduced inventory levels, particularly in the Industry and Energy Sectors.
Loss from continuing operations
results in negative ROCE
On a continuing basis, ROCE in the fourth quarter was a negative 10.4%, as the loss of 1.980 billion in the Equity Investment segment mentioned earlier and other factors resulted in negative income from continuing operations. A year earlier, ROCE was a negative 13.2% due to the substantial profit impacts mentioned earlier, including the 1.081 billion in charges associated with SG&A reduction, the 1 billion provision for settlements of legal and regulatory matters and the Siemens Stiftung endowment of 390 million.
Pension plan underfunding
decreases
The underfunding of Siemens’ principal pension plans as of September 30, 2009 amounted to 4.0 billion compared to 5.0 billion as of June 30, 2009. A positive return on plan assets more than compensated for an increase in Siemens’ defined benefit obligation (DBO). The increase in the DBO was due mainly to a further decrease in the discount rate assumption as of September 30, 2009. The effect on the DBO of the change in discount rate assumption was approximately 1.1 billion. While the change in funded status in general does not affect earnings for the current fiscal year, it impacts equity on the balance sheet and pension costs in fiscal 2010. As of September 30, 2008 pension plan underfunding was 2.5 billion.

Sectors     5
Industry Sector

Intensifying measures to restore profitable growth
The Industry Sector launched a substantial expansion of cost-cutting programs, capacity adjustment measures and structural initiatives aimed at restoring profitable growth. These efforts entailed 173 million in net charges for severance in the fourth quarter, and were a major factor in reducing Sector profit to 562 million. A year earlier, charges and costs related to structural initiatives at OSRAM and Mobility were partly offset by a 130 million net gain on the sale of a business. In the current quarter, SG&A reduction and capacity adjustments strengthened profitability, particularly for short-cycle businesses. Mobility made a significant contribution to Sector profit, reversing the negative result of the prior-year period.
Fourth-quarter revenue declined 13%, including all major regions. While orders came in 20% lower, the Asia, Australia region posted 11% growth year-over-year. The book-to-bill was 0.9 for the quarter, taking the Sector’s order backlog to 27.8 billion. Industry expects further charges in coming quarters and anticipates that market conditions will remain challenging.
Adjusting capacity, reducing costs
Revenue for the Industry Automation Division was 21% lower than a year ago, adversely affecting capacity utilization and revenue mix, and profit fell sharply as a result. Capacity adjustment measures resulted in net severance charges of 24 million. While the Division was able to partly offset the impact of these factors with aggressive cost-cutting in the fourth quarter, margin pressures are expected to remain significant in the near term. Purchase price accounting (PPA) effects related to the purchase of UGS Corp. in fiscal 2007 were 33 million in the current quarter and 35 million in the prior-year period. Revenue and orders declined significantly in Europe/CAME and the Americas. Orders rose in Asia, Australia.
Adverse conditions reach long-cycle businesses
Delayed effects of the economic down-turn began to reach the long-cycle businesses of Drive Technologies, taking revenue and orders down sharply compared to the fourth quarter a year earlier, particularly in Europe/CAME and the Americas. Profit fell on lower revenue as well as net severance charges of 30 million. PPA effects related to the Division’s purchase of Flender Holding GmbH in fiscal 2005 were 9 million in the current quarter and 10 million in the prior-year period.
Construction industry still slowing
Building Technologies reported a 7% decline in revenue and orders despite a modest increase in Asia, Australia and higher demand for energy efficiency solutions. Reduced economies of scale and a less favorable revenue mix, combined with net charges for severance programs of 26 million and losses from divestments, reduced fourth-quarter profit year-over-year.
Structural initiatives continue in lighting
OSRAM advanced efforts to improve its cost structure and product mix. These resulted in net charges of 18 million for severance and 40 million in charges for major impairments and inventory write-downs. As a result, OSRAM posted a loss for the fourth quarter despite positive results from cost-reduction measures already taken. A year earlier, charges for those measures were offset by a 130 million net gain on the sale of the Global Tungsten & Powders unit. While OSRAM posted a broad-based decline in revenue compared to the prior-year quarter, particularly in Europe/CAME and the Americas, the Division also saw signs that new demand may begin stabilizing.

Sectors     6

Increasing impacts from economic downturn
Revenue for Industry Solutions was well below the peak level of the fourth quarter a year earlier, including a sharp drop in the Division’s large metals technology business.
Together with 69 million in net severance charges, this dropped fourth-quarter profit below the prior-year level. Within an overall decline in fourth-quarter orders of 30%, the Asia, Australia region posted an 11% increase.
Another solid quarter of profitable growth
Mobility contributed 101 million to Sector profit in the fourth quarter compared to a loss in the prior-year period. Broad-based earnings improvement stemmed in part from execution of the Division’s “Mobility in Motion” program. A year earlier, this program entailed costs of 151 million and the Division also took provisions related primarily to projects in the rail automation business. Revenue in the current period was 6% higher, while orders declined 3% due to lower volume from large orders.

Sectors     7
Energy Sector

 
Strong competitive performance,
surge in Sector profit
The Energy Sector closed the fiscal year with its fourth straight year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter profit increase, and was again the top contributor to Total Sectors profit. At 878 million, Sector profit was up sharply from the fourth quarter a year earlier, when the Fossil Power Generation Division recorded 110 million in project charges and an equity investment loss of 52 million related to a major project in Olkiluoto, Finland. Profit in the current quarter also rose on substantially lower SG&A expenses, particularly at Power Transmission, Fossil Power Generation and Power Distribution.
Orders came in 10% below the level of the prior-year period, as customers delayed potential new projects due to adverse macroeconomic and financing conditions. This factor was particularly evident for major power generation projects in Europe/CAME. The Sector drew on its strong order backlog to hold fourth-quarter revenue stable at 6.761 billion, as higher sales in Europe/CAME offset revenue declines in other regions. Energy’s book-to-bill ratio was 0.96, and its order backlog at the end of the quarter stood at 47.1 billion.
Strong profit generation on
broad-based margin improvement
Fossil Power Generation produced fourth-quarter profit of 327 million. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period was held back by the impacts mentioned above.
The current period included improved project execution and higher earnings in the product business compared to the prior-year period. The high-margin services business also contributed to profit growth compared to the fourth quarter a year earlier, but its influence on the Division’s profitability was smaller than in other quarters of the fiscal year due to a seasonally lower proportion of revenue. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 9%, led by growth in Europe/CAME. In contrast, orders came in well below the prior-year level due primarily to a substantial drop in volume from large orders. This effect stemmed from adverse macroeconomic and financing conditions, particularly including postponement of major infrastructure projects by utilities.
Renewable Energy expands
global footprint and capabilities
The Renewable Energy Division continued the steady expansion of its geographic presence in line with growing global demand for alternative energy solutions. A corresponding rise in functional costs year-over-year held fourth-quarter profit below the prior-year level. Orders more than doubled from the low level of the fourth quarter a year earlier, when the Division temporarily slowed order intake while ramping up new production capacity. Revenue in the current quarter rose 5% compared to the prior-year quarter, driven by strong growth in Europe/CAME.


(BAR CHART)

Sectors     8

Renewable Energy expects revenue conversion from its order backlog to continue at a similarly moderate pace in the near term, due to the selective order intake a year earlier and the long lead times of large off-shore projects booked between the periods under review. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, Renewable Energy acquired 100% of Solel Solar Systems, a solar thermal power technology company, to strengthen its position in the expanding market of solar thermal power. The acquisition costs (cash and debt free), amount to approximately 280 million in cash consideration.
Higher profit on lower revenue
The Oil & Gas Division turned in broad-based profit growth in part due to a more favorable revenue mix compared to the prior-year period. As a result, profit reached 140 million even as revenue declined 9% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Orders came in 20% above the prior-year level, including new contracts that customers had previously postponed due to continuing uncertainty in the process industry environment.
Strong earnings contribution, new high for revenue
Power Transmission delivered 222 million in profit driven by a strong performance in the transformers business. Quarterly revenue rose 3% to a new high at 1.637 billion. In contrast, customer postponements of potential new projects took orders down 10% from the fourth quarter a year earlier.
Market conditions continue to hold back demand
Revenue for the Power Distribution Division came in 14% below the peak level of the fourth quarter a year ago, as demand remained weak among industrial customers. The Division held fourth-quarter profit steady year-over-year, at 125 million, in part due to a more favorable revenue mix compared to the prior-year period. Fourth-quarter orders declined 20% year-over-year on lower demand in all regions, and again came in below revenue. As a result, the Division expects demand to remain soft in coming quarters.

Healthcare Sector

 
Outstanding profitability
despite volume headwinds
The Healthcare Sector continued to compete successfully in a challenging market environment, delivering substantially higher fourth-quarter profit even as revenue remained close to the prior-year level. This achievement came against a background of economic recession, limited access to financing for equipment purchases, and increased uncertainty as national healthcare reform efforts progress in the U.S. and governments in developed markets come to terms with budget deficits.
Profit reached a record high of 483 million in the quarter, including significantly higher earnings at Imaging & IT and Diagnostics as well as a return to profitability at Workflow & Solutions. For comparison, profitability in the prior-year quarter was held back by 174 million from severance charges, impairments and other costs related to reviews of certain business activities. In addition, the prior-year period included higher PPA effects and integration costs associated with acquisitions at the Diagnostics Division. These totaled 98 million in the fourth quarter a year ago, equivalent to approximately 3.1 percentage points (pp) of profit margin. In the current quarter, PPA effects and integration costs totaled 66 million, and reduced Sector profit margin by approximately 2.1 pp.
Revenue rose 1% to 3.142 billion, and orders of 3.331 billion came in 2% below fourth-quarter orders a year earlier. Both revenue and orders were higher in Asia, Australia outside Japan. Excluding positive currency translation effects, revenue was down 1% and orders declined 3%. Healthcare’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.06 in the fourth quarter, and its order backlog remained strong at 6.3 billion. The Sector expects that near-term profitability will be influenced by up to 100 million in costs related primarily to the next phase of integration activities in the Diagnostics Division.
Strong earnings conversion,
book-to-bill above 1
Imaging & IT was the top earnings contributor among Siemens Divisions, with 357 million in profit in an outstanding year-end quarter. Exceptional earnings conversion benefited from a more favorable revenue mix, including significant contributions from new products introduced in recent quarters. For comparison, the prior-year quarter included 90 million of the Sector’s negative profit impacts mentioned above. The market for imaging equipment remained difficult particularly in the U.S and Japan. In contrast, Imaging & IT achieved double-digit growth in both revenue and orders in the Asia, Australia region, particularly in China. On an organic basis, revenue and orders for the Division each declined 4% compared to the same period a year earlier. The book-to-bill ratio was above one.

Progress with integration
lifts profitability
Fourth-quarter revenue rose 4% at Diagnostics, and PPA and integration costs were lower than in the prior-year period as mentioned above. These factors took profit up from the prior-year level. The Division’s double-digit profit margin was reduced by PPA effects of 43 million and integration costs of 23 million associated with acquisitions.
These factors together amounted to approximately 7.6 pp of profit margin. A year earlier, PPA and integration costs at Diagnostics were 46 million and 52 million, respectively, cutting approximately 11.8 pp from profit margin. The increase in revenue included growth in Asia, Australia and the Americas, while order growth was driven primarily by the Americas region. On an organic basis, revenue rose 2% and orders were up 1%.
Workflow & Solutions
back in the black
Workflow & Solutions posted a profit of 30 million compared to a loss of 65 million in the fourth quarter a year earlier. That prior-year period included 81 million of the Sector’s negative profit impacts mentioned above, mainly related to particle therapy contracts.

Equity Investments and Cross-Sector Businesses

Impairments lead to loss in
Equity Investments
Major components of Equity Investments include stakes in Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN) and BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. Equity Investments recorded a loss of 1.980 billion in the fourth quarter compared to a profit of 6 million in the same period a year earlier.
The difference was due to a loss related to NSN of 1.962 billion. Siemens recorded an impairment of 1.634 billion on its stake in NSN, and the quarterly result related to the stake was a loss of 328 million including a significant charge of 216 million related to an impairment of deferred tax assets at NSN.
Equity Investments in the current period also included a loss of 52 million related to Enterprise Networks B.V., including restructuring efforts.


Lower contribution from Cross
Sector Businesses
Orders and revenue for Siemens IT Solutions and Services both declined 21% due to increasingly challenging external markets and streamlined internal business within Siemens.
 
Profit fell due to a number of factors including lower revenue, net severance charges of 22 million and costs associated with measures to reduce IT expense for Siemens as a whole.
 


(BAR CHART)

Profit (defined as income before income taxes) at Siemens Financial Services (SFS) declined, due primarily to an increase in loss reserves in part related to a commercial finance portfolio in Europe to be liquidated.
This was partly offset by higher interest results. Total assets rose slightly, to 11.704 billion.
Return on equity (ROE) decreased significantly compared to the same quarter a year earlier.

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

Streamlining of Other Operations completed
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. Siemens completed these streamlining actions in the fourth quarter and therefore will discontinue reporting Other Operations in future periods. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2010, segment information will include a new line item, Centrally managed portfolio activities, mainly comprising centrally managed activities intended for divestment or closure as well as activities remaining from previously divested businesses. The electronics assembly systems business will be reported in Centrally managed portfolio activities.
Other Operations posted a loss of 133 million in the fourth quarter compared to a loss of 277 million in the same period a year earlier. The prior-year period included 133 million in costs related to the streamlining of Other Operations, mainly related to the divestment of Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices (SHC), as well as 21 million related mainly to the carve-out of SHC. Both periods included net expenses related to businesses divested in the current and prior periods. The electronics assembly systems business recorded a loss of 29 million in the fourth quarter compared to a loss of 48 million in the prior-year period. Both periods under review include severance charges. Divestment of this business is expected to result in a material loss. Due largely to the streamlining actions mentioned above, revenue from Other Operations again declined significantly year-over-year, to 107 million from 680 million in the fourth quarter a year ago.
Bundling of real estate management at SRE
Income before income taxes at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) was 15 million in the fourth quarter, down from 54 million in the same period a year earlier. This change is due partly to lower gains from sales of real estate. SRE intends to continue real estate disposals in coming quarters, depending on market
conditions.
In the second half of fiscal 2009, Siemens initiated a multi-year program to improve the efficiency of its real estate management by bundling the entire portfolio within SRE by 2011. The program is expected to generate even greater efficiency increases than originally anticipated, including approximately 250 million in cost savings annually by 2011 and 400 million in annual savings from 2014 onward. During implementation, the real estate bundling program will entail costs associated with reducing vacancy and consolidating locations. In fiscal 2009 these costs totaled 44 million. Assets with a book value of 614 million were transferred to SRE during the year.
Lower costs for SG&A reduction and compliance
Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative 600 million in the fourth quarter, compared to a negative 2.760 billion in the prior-year period. The primary factor in both periods was Corporate items, which included substantially lower costs for SG&A reduction and compliance matters year-over-year. In the current quarter, a negative 486 million for Corporate items included net charges of 169 million related to the global SG&A program and other personnel-related restructuring measures, as well as 34 million in interest-related net expenses associated with a major asset retirement obligation.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, a negative 2.814 billion for Corporate items included charges of 1.081 billion related to the global SG&A program; a provision of approximately 1 billion related to legal proceedings in the U.S. and Germany that were resolved between the periods under review; and a one-time endowment of 390 million coinciding with establishment of the Siemens Stiftung (foundation). Expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with legal and regulatory matters also fell sharply year-over-year, to 5 million from 83 million a year earlier.
Centrally carried pension expense swung to a negative 114 million from a positive 54 million in the prior-year quarter, due primarily to higher benefit costs related to Siemens’ principal pension plans.
Reduced counterparty risks
Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items in the fourth quarter was a negative 100 million compared to a negative 130 million in the prior-year period. The difference is due mainly to charges of 50 million in the fourth quarter a year earlier related to counterparty risks, principally involving banks affected adversely by developments in international financial markets.

Outlook     13
Outlook

Siemens anticipates that conditions in the manufacturing sector and world financial markets will remain challenging in fiscal 2010. Following a double-digit decline in orders in fiscal 2009, we expect only a mid-single-digit percentage decline in organic revenue in fiscal 2010 due to the stabilizing effect of our strong order backlog.
We expect Total Sectors profit between 6.0 and 6.5 billion in fiscal 2010, and an increase of approximately 20% in income from continuing operations compared to 2.457 billion in the prior year.
This outlook is conditional on no material deterioration in our pricing power during the fiscal year and on improving market conditions in the second half, particularly for our shorter-cycle businesses. Furthermore this outlook excludes major impacts that may arise during the fiscal year from restructuring, portfolio transactions, impairments, and legal and regulatory matters.

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 the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens’ management, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect Siemens’ operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Siemens, 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 may delay the conversion of booked orders into revenue or that prices will decline as a result of continued adverse market conditions to a greater extent than currently anticipated by Siemens’ management; developments in the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices, debt prices (credit spreads) and financial assets generally; continued volatility and a further deterioration of the capital markets; a worsening in the conditions of the credit business and, in particular, additional uncertainties arising out of the subprime, financial market and liquidity crises;
future financial performance of major industries that Siemens serves, including, without limitation, the Sectors Industry, Energy and Healthcare; the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; the introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; a 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 and actions resulting from the findings of these investigations; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on Siemens’ ongoing business including its relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on Siemens’ financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of the risk factors affecting Siemens is contained throughout this report and in Siemens’ 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.

Legal Proceedings
Public corruption proceedings
Governmental and related proceedings
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.
On December 15, 2008, Siemens 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 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 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 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 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 minister of finance, 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 program.
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 Communications 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, the public prosecutor in Wuppertal, Germany is conducting an investigation against Siemens employees regarding allegations that they participated in bribery related to the awarding of an EU contract for the refurbishment of a power plant in Serbia in 2002.

On March 9, 2009, Siemens received a decision by the Vendor Review Committee of the United Nations Secretariat Procurement Division (UNPD) suspending Siemens 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. FCPA. Siemens does not expect a significant impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition from this decision. The review of the decision by the UNPD is pending. In the meantime, the suspension remains effective.
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, which comprises the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development as well as the International Development Association, in connection with allegations of sanctionable practices during the period 2004-2006 relating to a World Bank-financed project in Russia. On July 2, 2009, the Company entered into a global settlement agreement with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (collectively, the “World Bank Group”) to resolve World Bank Group investigations involving allegations of corruption by Siemens. In the agreement, Siemens voluntarily undertakes to refrain from bidding in connection with any project, program, or other investment financed or guaranteed by the World Bank Group (“Bank Group Projects”) for a period of two years, commencing on January 1, 2009 and ending on December 31, 2010. Siemens is not prohibited by the voluntary restraint from continuing work on existing contracts under Bank Group Projects or concluded in connection with World Bank Group corporate procurement provided such contracts were signed by Siemens and all other parties thereto prior to January 1, 2009. The agreement provides for exemptions to the voluntary restraint in exceptional circumstances upon approval of the World Bank Group. Siemens must also withdraw all pending bids, including proposals for consulting contracts in connection with Bank Group Projects and World Bank Group corporate procurement where the World Bank Group has not provided its approval prior to July 2, 2009. Furthermore, Siemens is also required to voluntarily disclose to the World Bank Group any potential misconduct in connection with any Bank Group Projects. Finally, Siemens will pay US$100 million to agreed anti-corruption organizations over a period of not more than 15 years. In fiscal 2009, the Company took a charge to Other operating expense to accrue a provision in the amount of 53 million.
In November 2009, Siemens Russia OOO and all its controlled subsidiaries were, in a separate proceeding before the World Bank Group, debarred for four years from participating in Bank Group Projects. Siemens Russia OOO will not contest the debarment.
As previously reported, the Norwegian anti-corruption unit, Oekokrim, conducted an investigation against Siemens AS Norway and two of its former employees related to payments made for golf trips in 2003 and 2004, which were attended by members of the Norwegian Department of Defense. On July 3, 2009, the trial court in Oslo, Norway, found the two former employees not guilty. Oekokrim stated on July 16, 2009, that the proceedings against Siemens AS Norway have also been discontinued.

As previously reported, the public prosecutor in Milan, Italy, had filed charges against a current and a former employee of Siemens S.p.A., Siemens S.p.A., and one of its subsidiaries in November 2007, alleging that the two individuals made illegal payments to employees of the state-owned gas and power group ENI. Charges were also filed against other individuals and companies not affiliated with Siemens. The two individuals, Siemens S.p.A., and its subsidiary entered into a “patteggiamento” (plea bargaining agreement without the recognition of any guilt or responsibility) with the Milan prosecutor which was confirmed by the Milan court on April 27, 2009. Under the terms of the patteggiamento, Siemens S.p.A. and the subsidiary were each fined 40,000 and ordered to disgorge profits in the amount of 315,562 and 502,370, respectively. The individuals accepted suspended prison sentences. Once the decision becomes final and non-appealable, the proceedings will be effectively over.
As previously reported the Argentinean Anti-Corruption Authority is conducting an investigation into corruption of government officials in connection with the award of a contract to Siemens in 1998 for the development and operation of a system for the production of identity cards, border control, collection of data and voters’ registers. Searches were executed at the premises of Siemens Argentina and Siemens IT Services S.A. in Buenos Aires in August 2008 and in February 2009. The Company is cooperating with the Argentinean Authorities. The Argentinean investigative judge also requested repeatedly judicial assistance from the Munich prosecutor and the federal court in New York.
On August 17, 2009, the Anti-Corruption Commission of Bangladesh filed criminal charges against two current and one former employee of Siemens Bangladesh’s Healthcare business. It is alleged that the employees colluded with employees of a public hospital to overcharge for the delivery of medical equipment in the period before 2007.
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 tenders or the loss of business licenses or permits. Additional expenses and provisions, which could be material, may need to be recorded in the future for penalties, fines, damages or other charges in connection with the investigations.
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 fiscal 2009, the Company recorded an amount of 23 million in Other operating income from the recovery of funds from certain such accounts.
In November 2009, a subsidiary of Siemens AG voluntarily self-reported possible violations of South African anticorruption regulations in the period before 2007 to the responsible South African authorities.

Expenses for outside advisors engaged by Siemens in connection with the investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities amounted to 70 million from 510 million in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Civil litigation
As already disclosed by the Company in press releases, Siemens AG is asserting claims for damages against former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board. The Company bases its claims on breaches of organizational and supervisory duties in view of the accusations of illegal business practices that occurred in the course of international business transactions in the years 2003 to 2006 and the resulting financial burdens for the Company. Siemens gave the respective former members of its Managing and Supervisory Board the opportunity to declare their willingness to reach a settlement until mid-November 2009. On December 2, 2009 Siemens reached a settlement with nine out of eleven former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board. As requested by law, the settlements between the Company and individual board members are subject to approval by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. Furthermore, the Company reached a settlement agreement with its directors and officers (D&O) insurers regarding claims in connection with the D&O insurance of up to 100 million. These settlements will be submitted to Siemens AG’s shareholders for approval at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 26, 2010. As previously announced by the Company, in the event that individual former members of the Managing and/or Supervisory Board are not willing to agree on a settlement and/or the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting does not approve individual settlements, the Company will pursue legitimate claims — if necessary in court — against former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board.
As previously reported, an alleged holder of Siemens 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’ Managing and Supervisory Boards as well as against Siemens as a nominal defendant, seeking various forms of relief relating to the allegations of corruption and related violations at Siemens. The alleged holder of Siemens American Depository Shares voluntarily withdrew the derivative action in September 2009.
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 “Report of the Independent Inquiry Committee into the United Nations Oil-for-Food Programme.” 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, process was served upon Siemens S.A.S. France and Siemens A.S. Turkey.
As previously reported, Siemens had filed a request for arbitration against the Republic of Argentina (Argentina) with the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) of the World Bank. Siemens claimed that Argentina had unlawfully terminated its contract with Siemens for the development and operation of a system for the production of identity cards, border control, collection of data and voters’ registers (DNI project) and thereby violated the Bilateral Investment Protection Treaty between Argentina and Germany (BIT). Siemens sought damages for expropriation and violation of the BIT of approximately US$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 Siemens’ claims and that Siemens 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 by the ICSID arbitration tribunal on February 6, 2007, awarding Siemens compensation in the amount of US$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 Siemens against any claims of subcontractors in relation to the project (amounting to approximately US$44 million) and, furthermore, that Argentina would be obligated to pay Siemens the full amount of the contract performance bond (US$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 an application for the annulment and stay of enforcement of the award with the ICSID, alleging serious procedural irregularities with respect to the DNI project. An ad hoc committee was formed to consider Argentina’s application. On June 6, 2008, Argentina filed an application for a reversal of the ICSID’s decision and a stay of enforcement of the arbitral award with the ICSID alleging the discovery of new, previously unknown facts that would have decisively affected the award. Argentina relied on information reported in the media alleging bribery by Siemens, which it argued makes the BIT inapplicable. The application for a reversal of the decision was registered by the ICSID on June 9, 2008 and forwarded to the three members of the ICSID arbitration tribunal, as it had been constituted originally. The application for reversal could have resulted in a stay with respect to Argentina’s application for annulment pending before the ad hoc committee. On September 12, 2008, the arbitral tribunal issued its initial procedural order requiring that Argentina substantiate the application by February 13, 2009. The tribunal would have decided on admitting a counterclaim once Argentina would have filed the application together with the substantiation. On August 12, 2009, Argentina and Siemens reached an agreement to settle the dispute and mutually discontinue any and all civil proceedings in the case (the application for reversal pending before the ICSID and the related annulment proceeding) without acknowledging any issue of fact or law. No payment was made by either party.
As previously reported, the Company has been approached by a competitor to discuss claims it believes it has against the Company. The alleged claims relate to allegedly 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.
Antitrust proceedings
As previously reported, in June 2007, the Turkish Antitrust Agency confirmed its earlier decision to impose a fine in an amount equivalent to 6 million on Siemens A.S. Turkey based on alleged antitrust violations in the traffic lights market. Siemens A.S. Turkey has appealed this decision and this appeal is still pending.
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 French Competition Authority launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving several companies active in the field of suburban trains, including Siemens Transportation Systems S.A.S. in Paris, and the offices were searched. Siemens is cooperating with the French Competition Authority.
As previously reported, in February 2007, the European Commission launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving European producers of power transformers, including Siemens AG and VA Technologie AG (VA Tech), which Siemens acquired in July 2005. The German Antitrust Authority (Bundeskartellamt) has become involved in the proceeding and is responsible for investigating those allegations that relate to the German market. Power transformers are electrical equipment used as major components in electric transmission systems in order to adapt voltages. 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. On October 7, 2009, the European Commission imposed fines totaling 67.644 million on seven companies with regard to a territorial market sharing agreement related to Japan and Europe. Siemens was not fined because it had voluntarily disclosed this aspect of the case to the authorities. The German Antitrust Authority continues its investigation with regard to the German market.
As previously reported, in April 2007, Siemens AG and VA Tech filed actions before the European Court of First Instance in Luxemburg against the decisions of the European Commission dated January 24, 2007, to fine Siemens and VA Tech for alleged antitrust violations in the European Market of high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear between 1988 and 2004. Gas-insulated switchgear is electrical equipment used as a major component for turnkey power substations. The fine imposed on Siemens amounted to 396.6 million and was paid by the Company in 2007. The fine imposed on VA Tech, which Siemens AG acquired in July 2005, amounted to 22.1 million. VA Tech was declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a separate fine of 4.5 million. The European Court of First Instance has not yet issued a decision. In addition to the proceedings mentioned in this document, authorities in Brazil, the Czech Republic, New Zealand and Slovakia are conducting investigations into comparable possible antitrust violations.
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 both 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.

In November 2008, a claim was filed by National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc. (National Grid) with 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 various 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. The European Commission’s decision has been appealed to the European Court of First Instance. On June 12, 2009, the High Court granted a stay, of the proceedings pending before it, until three months after the outcome of the appeal to the European Court of First Instance and any subsequent appeals to the European Court of Justice. On June 26, 2009 the Siemens defendants filed their answers to the complaint and requested National Grid’s claim to be rejected. A case management conference is scheduled for December 14, 2009.
As previously reported, the South African Competition Commission investigated alleged antitrust violations in the market of high-voltage gas-isolated switchgear. In May 2009, the Company was notified that the Competition Commission will not pursue the prosecution of this matter.
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 September 2009, the Commerce Commission of New Zealand has opened an investigation into violations of antitrust law in the area of flexible current transmission systems. Siemens is cooperating with the Commission.
In September 2009, the DOJ has opened an investigation into violations of antitrust law in the area of high voltage direct current transmission systems and flexible current transmission systems. Siemens is cooperating with the DOJ.
Other proceedings
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.
On November 25, 2008, Siemens announced that the Company and the insolvency administration of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG 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’ claims as creditor. Since Siemens had made a sufficient provision for the expected settlement, the settlement does not have a material negative impact on Siemens’ results of operations for fiscal 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 S.A.S. 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. Now, there are discussions about further delays due to new requirements imposed by the approval authorities. 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.
In early 2009 Siemens terminated its joint venture with Areva S.A. (Areva). Thereafter, Siemens entered into negotiations with the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (Rosatom) with a view to forming a new partnership active in the construction of nuclear power plants, in which it would be a minority shareholder. In April 2009, Areva filed a request for arbitration with the ICC against Siemens.

Areva seeks an order enjoining Siemens from pursuing such negotiations with Rosatom, a declaration that Siemens is in material breach of its contractual obligations, a reduction of the price payable to Siemens for its stake in the Areva NP S.A.S. joint venture and damages in an amount to be ascertained. Siemens filed its answer in June 2009, primarily seeking a dismissal of Areva’s claims and a price increase. The arbitral tribunal has been constituted and the main proceedings have commenced. On November 17, 2009, the arbitral tribunal issued an interim order which imposes certain provisional restrictions on Siemens with respect to the negotiation process and the planned partnership with Rosatom; the order does not preclude Siemens from continuing its discussions with Rosatom during the arbitration.
As previously reported, a Mexican governmental control authority had barred Siemens S.A. de C.V. Mexico (Siemens Mexico) from bidding on public contracts for a period of three years and nine months beginning November 30, 2005. This proceeding arose from allegations that Siemens Mexico did not disclose alleged minor tax discrepancies when it was signing a public contract in 2002. Upon several appeals by Siemens Mexico, the execution of the debarment was stayed, the debarment subsequently reduced to a period of four months, and in June 2009 the Company was finally informed by the relevant administrative court that the debarment was completely annulled.
In July 2008, Mr. Abolfath Mahvi filed a request for arbitration with the ICC seeking an award of damages against Siemens in the amount of DM150 million (or the equivalent in euro, which is approximately 77 million) plus interest. Mr. Mahvi’s claim is based on a contract concluded in 1974 between a company that was then a subsidiary of Siemens and two other companies, one domiciled in the Bermudas and the other in Liberia. Mr. Mahvi alleges that he is the successor in interest to the Bermudan and Liberian companies and that the companies assisted Siemens with the acquisition of a power plant project in Bushehr, Iran. Siemens believes Mr. Mahvi’s claim to be without merit, particularly because the contract on which Mr. Mahvi bases his claim had already been the subject of a previous ICC arbitration that resulted in the dismissal of the claims against Siemens. In his statement of claim Mr. Mahvi specified his alleged claims and now claims from Siemens the payment of DM150 million (or the equivalent in euro, which is approximately 77 million) or, alternatively, 35.460 million, or 27.837 million plus interest, payment of 5% commission of any further payments received by Siemens in excess of DM5.74 billion arising out of any agreement covered by the contract with Mr. Mahvi as well as 5 million for “moral damages.”
In July 2008, Hellenic Telecommunications Organization Société Anonyme (OTE) filed a lawsuit against Siemens with the district court of Munich, Germany, seeking to compel Siemens to disclose the outcome of its internal investigations with respect to OTE. OTE seeks to obtain information with respect to allegations of undue influence and/or acts of bribery in connection with contracts concluded between Siemens and OTE from 1992 to 2006. On September 25, 2008, Siemens was served with the complaint by the district court. Siemens responded to the complaint, requesting that the lawsuit be dismissed. In May 2009, OTE was granted access to the prosecutor’s files in Greece, which presumably satisfied the disclosure claim raised by OTE. However, OTE may attempt to use information it has obtained to support its claims for damages against Siemens and/or Siemens A.E. (the Greek subsidiary of Siemens).

Siemens A.E. entered into a subcontract agreement with Science Applications International Corporation, Delaware, USA, (SAIC) in May of 2003 to deliver and install significant portions of security surveillance equipment as part of a “C4I” project in preparation for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Siemens A.E. fulfilled its obligations pursuant to the subcontractor contract from 2003 to 2008. In the course of the final acceptance of the completed system in November of 2008, representatives of the Greek government claimed that the C4I System was defective and claimed compensation in the double-digit million euro range. The Greek government has withheld an additional double-digit million euro amount due pending formal final acceptance. Siemens A.E. and SAIC are contesting these claims as unfounded. An arbitration proceeding has been initiated by SAIC. The resolution of this dispute has been complicated by bribery and fraud allegations pending in Greece with respect to Siemens A.E., which have resulted in extensive negative media coverage concerning the C4I system.
The current proceedings conducted by the public prosecutor and criminal courts in Greece against former members of Siemens A.E. based on bribery and fraud allegations and the outcome of these proceedings might have a negative impact on pending civil legal proceedings as well as the future business activities of Siemens A.E. in Greece.
Along with the regular tax audit for the 2004 to 2007 tax years, the Greek tax authorities have started to re-audit Siemens A.E.’s books for the 1997 to 2003 tax years, which had already been closed. The tax audits could require Siemens A.E. to pay additional taxes. Due to the complexity of the subject matter, however, we are currently not in a position to predict the outcome of this audit or the amounts of any potential additional liabilities.
In December 2008, the Polish Agency of Internal Security (AWB) remanded into custody an employee of Siemens Healthcare Poland, in connection with an investigation regarding a public tender issued by the hospital of Wroclaw in 2008. According to the AWB, the Siemens employee and the deputy hospital director are accused of having manipulated the tender procedure.
In April 2009, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service of the U.S. Department of Defense conducted a search at the premises of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. in Malvern, Pennsylvania, in connection with an investigation relating to a Siemens contract with the U.S. Department of Defense for the provision of medical equipment.
In June 2009, the Vienna prosecutor searched the offices of an employee of Siemens AG Austria in connection with alleged overpricing by a subcontractor for an IT project with the Austrian federal data center (“Bundesrechenzentrum”). The prosecutor informed Siemens that the company is being regarded as a victim.
In June 2009, the Company and two of its subsidiaries voluntarily self-reported, among others, possible violations of U.S. Export Administration Regulations to the responsible U.S. authorities.

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 the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens’ management, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect Siemens’ operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Siemens, 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 may delay the conversion of booked orders into revenue or that prices will decline as a result of continued adverse market conditions to a greater extent than currently anticipated by Siemens’ management; developments in the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices, debt prices (credit spreads) and financial assets generally; continued volatility and a further deterioration of the capital markets; a worsening in the conditions of the credit business and, in particular, additional uncertainties arising out of the subprime, financial market and liquidity crises; future financial performance of major industries that Siemens serves, including, without limitation, the Sectors Industry, Energy and Healthcare; the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; the introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; a 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 and actions resulting from the findings of these investigations; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on Siemens’ ongoing business including its relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on Siemens’ financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of the risk factors affecting Siemens is contained throughout this report and in Siemens’ 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.
