Interim group management report
Overview of financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2008
    Orders rose 12%, to 23.371 billion, and revenue increased 1% to 18.094 billion. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of portfolio transactions and currency translation, orders climbed 15% year-over-year, and revenue rose 2%.
 
    Siemens substantially completed reviews of projects primarily in fossil power plant solutions and rail transportation, aimed at identifying risks and taking corresponding measures. As a result, Group profit from Operations was 1.203 billion in the second quarter, including charges at Power Generation, Transportation Systems and Siemens IT Solutions and Services totaling 857 million.
 
    These impacts also affected net income, which was 412 million for the quarter, and income from continuing operations, which came in at 565 million. Basic EPS for net income and income from continuing operations were 0.42 and 0.59, respectively.
 
    Shortly after the close of the second quarter, Siemens completed the first tranche of its previously announced share buyback program, with purchases totaling approximately 2.0 billion of which purchases of approximately 1.6 billion were conducted during the second quarter.
Siemens’ order growth was robust on a global basis, and the industry and healthcare sectors combined strong growth with higher earnings. Our energy portfolio performed well in most areas, with strong overall order growth. We have now concluded our project review in the fossil power business and have a clear picture of the relevant risks.
Robust order growth generated a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of currency translation and portfolio transactions, orders rose 15% with good regional distribution. Strong demand in Germany included major contract wins at Power Generation (PG) and a large order at Medical Solutions (Med), while order growth in Asia-Pacific was more broad-based. High double-digit growth in the region comprising the Near and Middle East, Africa and Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) was driven by large energy infrastructure orders at Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD). Revenue for the quarter rose 2% organically compared to a strong prior-year period. Europe outside Germany, Siemens’ largest region, was on pace with 2% growth for the quarter. Revenue in the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions grew 6% and 3%, respectively, with particular strength at Automation and Drives (A&D). Excluding strong negative currency translation effects, the U.S. posted revenue growth of 7% year-over-year. Revised estimates of project completion, mainly at PG, reduced revenue by approximately 250 million.
Group profit from Operations was strongly affected by results of project reviews. The second quarter included strong profit performance at A&D, Med, PTD, and Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S). In contrast, PG, Transportation Systems (TS) and Siemens IT Solutions and Services posted losses in the second quarter due to charges totaling 857 million. As a result, Group Profit from Operations came in at 1.203 billion compared to 1.781 billion in the prior-year period.
Income and EPS reflect project review impacts. Net income was 412 million compared to 1.259 billion in the second quarter a year earlier, resulting in basic EPS of 0.42 compared to 1.34 in the prior-year period. Income from continuing operations was 565 million compared to 1.286 billion in the second quarter a year ago, with corresponding basic EPS of 0.59 compared to 1.39 in the prior-year period. The declines are due largely to Group profit from Operations. In addition, Corporate items were significantly higher year-over-

year, at a negative 506 million compared to a negative 210 million. Major factors included increased expenses for compliance investigations and costs related to Siemens’ transformation programs.
Net income was also influenced by discontinued operations. In the second quarter, discontinued operations posted a loss of 153 million compared to a loss of 27 million in the same quarter a year earlier. The prior-year period included positive operating results at Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) and at telecommunications carrier activities, both of which were divested between the periods under review. The enterprise networks business took 109 million in severance charges and a 12 million asset impairment in the current period. A year earlier, this business took a goodwill impairment of 148 million.
Free cash flow and ROCE development includes project charges and reflect portfolio changes. Free cash flow from continuing operations was 1.623 billion in the second quarter. In the prior-year period, Free cash flow of 2.619 billion benefited from a positive effect related to receivables associated with the transfer of the carrier activities into Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN). In the current period, Operations generated 1.010 billion in Free cash flow while Financing & Real Estate and Corporate Treasury activities contributed 613 million. The cash conversion rate for continuing operations in the second quarter was 2.87, positively influenced by the charges within Operations. ROCE for the first half of fiscal 2008 was adversely affected by the project charges mentioned above, coming in at 8.6%. As expected, ROCE development was affected also by a substantial increase in capital employed year-over-year stemming from major acquisitions completed in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. This effect will continue in coming quarters. A year earlier, ROCE in the first six months was 13.6%.
Expenses for compliance investigations increase. Siemens incurred 175 million in expenses in the second quarter for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities. The total for continuing operations was 148 million, with the remaining 27 million related to discontinued operations.
In the first six months of fiscal 2008, the total amount of these expenses was 302 million, with the total for continuing operations amounting to 241 million and the remaining 61 million related to discontinued operations. For more information regarding these matters see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Siemens completes the first tranche of its share buyback program. The tranche totalled approximately 2.0 billion in purchases for 24,854,541 shares, and was completed shortly after the close of the quarter on April 8, 2008. For further information see “Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements” below.

Order growth in the second quarter was well balanced, particularly from an organic perspective, with most regions showing double-digit growth compared to the prior-year period. Europe outside Germany, Siemens’ largest region, increased orders 4% year-over-year highlighted by healthy demand at A&D, Med and PG. In the Americas, the leaders were PG, TS, Med and A&D. New orders in Germany during the quarter included a number of major contract wins at PG and a large order at Med, as well as continued growth at A&D and PTD. Asia-Pacific again delivered broad-based, double-digit order growth for Siemens. The region comprising Africa, Near and Middle East and C.I.S. jumped 46% compared to the second quarter a year earlier, on the strength of large energy infrastructure orders at PTD.

Revenue in Europe outside Germany was on pace with 2% growth for the quarter. In the Americas, revenue in the U.S. edged up year-over-year despite strong currency translation effects, led by Med and A&D. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation effects of negative 16% and portfolio effects of positive 9%, U.S. revenues rose 7%. All Groups in Operations except PG reported higher revenue in Asia-Pacific year-over-year, with China contributing a 21% increase. Germany and the region comprising Africa, Near and Middle East and C.I.S. posted revenue below the prior-year level. From a Siemens’ Group perspective, the industrial Groups generated their strongest revenue growth in Asia-Pacific compared to the prior-year quarter, while revenue in the energy-related Groups grew fastest in the Americas and Europe outside Germany. Med’s healthcare portfolio found revenue growth in all regions, including new volume from the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc.

Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 fell 7% year-over-year and gross profit margin decreased to 27.2% from 29.2% a year earlier, mainly due to the charges posted at PG, TS and Siemens IT Solutions and Services as noted above. Most of the remaining Groups increased their gross margins, led by PTD and A&D which benefited from higher revenue and associated economies of scale.

Research and development expenses increased to 918 million, up 13% from 814 million a year earlier. The primary factors in this increase were higher expenses at A&D and Med, mainly due to acquisitions. As A&D and Med gained a larger proportion of Siemens’ revenue, their higher-than-average R&D expense ratio relative to other Groups contributed to an increase in the R&D expense ratio for Siemens overall, which rose to 5.1% from 4.5% in the prior-year quarter.
Marketing, selling and general administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter increased year-over-year, from 2.926 billion to 3.243 billion, primarily impacted by higher marketing and selling expenses due to an acquisition at A&D between the periods under review, as well as by higher expenses for Corporate items. Among these were a 32 million donation to the Siemens Foundation in the U.S and 64 million, including an impairment, relating to a regional sales organization in Germany.
Other operating income was 187 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to 105 million a year earlier. The current period includes a gain of 30 million on the sale of the hydrocarbon service business at I&S.
Other operating expense increased year-over-year, to 257 million, from 161 million in the second quarter a year earlier. The difference was due primarily to higher expenses for compliance investigations in the current quarter, amounting to 148 million, compared to 13 million in the prior-year quarter. Other operating expense in the prior-year period also included a goodwill impairment of 52 million at a regional payphone unit included in Other Operations.
Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net was 101 million compared to 184 million in the same period a year earlier. The change was due mainly to an equity investment loss of 45 million in the current period related to our equity stake in NSN, which was formed between the periods under review, and lower equity investment income related to BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH).
Financial income (expense), net decreased to 3 million, down from 30 million in the second quarter a year earlier, primarily impacted by higher expenses associated with asset retirement obligations.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased 53% from 1.681 billion in the prior-year quarter to 789 million in the current quarter. The change year-over-year is due primarily to the charges at PG, TS and Siemens IT Solutions and Services noted above. The effective tax rate was 28% in the current quarter compared to 23% in the prior-year period, which included beneficial tax effects. Income from continuing operations decreased to 565 million from 1.286 billion in the second quarter a year earlier.
Discontinued operations include former Com activities as well as SV, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The former Com activities include the enterprise networks business, which is held for disposal, the telecommunications carrier activities transferred into NSN between the periods under review, and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation. In the second quarter, discontinued operations posted a loss of 153 million compared to a loss of 27 million in the same quarter a year earlier. The prior-year period included positive operating results at SV and at telecommunications carrier activities. The enterprise networks business took 109 million in severance charges and a 12 million asset impairment in the current period. A year earlier, this business took a goodwill impairment of 148 million.
Net income for Siemens in the second quarter was 412 million, compared to 1.259 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was 384 million, down from 1.196 billion in the prior-year quarter.

The Asia-Pacific region and Europe outside Germany as well as the Africa, Near and Middle East and C.I.S. region posted double-digit order growth compared to the first six months a year earlier. The strongest increases in Europe outside Germany came at PG, which won a number of major new contracts, along with A&D, Med and PTD. I&S and TS took in fewer major orders in the region compared to the prior-year period. Within Asia-Pacific, orders climbed 26% including 39% growth in China and a 17% increase in India. I&S, A&D, PG and TS reported the strongest expansion in Asia-Pacific. Orders in the Africa, Near and Middle East and C.I.S. region also rose at a double-digit rate, highlighted by major contracts for PG and I&S in Russia. In the Americas region, the U.S. was the pace-setter with 9% growth, again powered by substantial new orders at PG plus new volume from A&D’s acquisition of UGS Corp. (UGS) and Med’s acquisition of Dade Behring between the periods under review. Excluding portfolio effects of positive 8% and negative currency translation effects of 16%, orders in the U.S. for the first half were up 17% year-over-year. A&D’s strong growth in Germany in the first six months was offset by order declines at TS and Siemens IT Solutions and Services in this region, compared to the prior-year period.

PTD saw double-digit increases in revenue compared to the first six months of the prior year. Within the Americas, new revenue from acquisitions was more than offset by the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro between the periods under review. Nevertheless the growth in the U.S. reached 3% year-over-year, led by A&D and Med. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation effects of negative 15% and portfolio effects of positive 10%, U.S. revenues were up 8%. Growth in Asia-Pacific was broad-based, as almost all Groups within Operations posted increases compared to the first six months a year earlier. China contributed 17% growth, on substantial revenue increases at A&D, TS and Osram. While revenue in India came in 2% lower than the prior-year period, the book-to-bill ratio for India rose to 1.5 in the current period. In the Africa, Near and Middle East and C.I.S. region, revenue rose excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, highlighted by 35% growth in Russia. Germany reported lower revenues for the first half of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period a year earlier, as growth at A&D, Med, PTD and Osram was outweighed by declines at TS, PG and Siemens Building Technologies (SBT).

Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2008 increased 5% year-over-year, in-line with growth in revenue. As a result, gross profit margin remained stable at 28.0%. Gross profit rose significantly at A&D, Med, PTD and I&S, which combined higher revenue with improved gross profit margins. In contrast, PG, TS and Siemens IT Solutions and Services posted a decrease in gross profits, primarily due to the second quarter project charges mentioned above.

Research and development expenses increased to 1.765 billion from 1.539 billion a year earlier, led by higher outlays at A&D and Med, significantly influenced by business expansion between the periods under review. R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue rose to 4.8% from 4.4% in the previous period.
 
SG&A expenses rose to 6.298 billion, up from 5.598 billion in the first half of fiscal 2007. While fast-growing Groups within Operations were responsible for a substantial portion of this increase, costs for Corporate items also increased significantly. The latter increase includes costs associated with the transformation of Siemens’ corporate structure including costs at a regional sales organization in Germany.
 
Other operating income for the first half was higher than in the prior-year period, as increased gains from sales of real estate in the current period more than offset a decline in gains from the sales of businesses. Other operating expense came in below the level in the first six months of fiscal 2007, which included a previously disclosed antitrust penalty of 423 million. While both periods included expenses for outside advisors engaged in compliance investigations, those expenses were substantially higher in the current period at 241 million compared to 13 million a year earlier. Other operating expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2008 also included a goodwill impairment in the amount of 70 million related to the buildings and infrastructure activities which were acquired as part of the VA Technologie AG acquisition in fiscal 2005 and which are included in Other Operations. For comparison, the prior-year period included a goodwill impairment of 52 million at a regional payphone unit included in Other Operations.
 
Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net declined year-over-year to 209 million in the current period, due primarily to negative equity investment income of 82 million related to NSN, which was formed between the periods under review, and lower equity investment income related to BSH.

Financial income (expense), net decreased to 25 million, down from 41 million in the first half a year earlier, primarily impacted by higher expenses associated with asset retirement obligations.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was 2.306 billion compared to 2.618 billion in the first six months a year earlier. The current period includes lower earnings in the Groups from operations due to substantial project charges especially in the second quarter for PG, TS and Siemens IT Solutions and Services as mentioned above, higher SG&A expenses, as well as a decline in equity investment income year-over-year, primarily due to NSN. The effective tax rate was 29% in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to 27% in the prior-year period. As a result, income from continuing operations in the first six months was 1.643 billion, down 14% from 1.907 billion a year earlier.
Discontinued operations include former Com activities as well as SV, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The former Com activities include the enterprise networks business, which is held for disposal, the carrier-related business transferred into NSN between the periods under review, and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation. In the first six months, income from discontinued operations was 5.244 billion compared to 140 million in the same period a year earlier. The difference is due mainly to an income of approximately 5.4 billion related to SV, including operating results along with a substantial gain on the sale of the business. The result for former Com activities in the first six months was a negative 188 million, including severance charges and an impairment of long-lived assets at the enterprise networks business, as well as expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters. In the prior-year period the result was a negative 63 million, as an impairment at the enterprise networks business more than offset positive earnings from the carrier activities. For additional information with respect to discontinued operations, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Net income for Siemens in the first six months was 6.887 billion, compared to 2.047 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was 6.816 billion, up from 1.935 billion in the prior-year.
Portfolio activities
At the beginning of November 2007, we completed our acquisition of Dade Behring. Med is now integrating Dade Behring into its Diagnostics division together with two other acquisitions made in prior years: Diagnostic Products Corporation (DPC) and the diagnostics division of Bayer AG (Bayer). The acquisition of Dade Behring expands Med’s position in the growing laboratory diagnostics market and is strongly complementary to the prior Diagnostics acquisitions. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately 4.9 billion (including 69 million cash acquired). We have not yet finalized the purchase price allocation (PPA) for this transaction. More information on PPA and integration costs related to the acquisitions mentioned here are described in more detail below in “Segment information analysis.”
At the beginning of December 2007, we closed the sale of SV to Continental AG of Germany. Aggregate consideration was approximately 11.4 billion net of cash sold.
We completed certain other portfolio transactions during the first six months of fiscal 2008 which did not have a significant effect on our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information on acquisitions and dispositions, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”

A&D’s second-quarter Group profit was 712 million, as the Group operated at high capacity utilization in a strong market for automation and control solutions. Group profit includes PPA effects and integration costs related to A&D’s product lifecycle management (PLM) software business, acquired between the periods under review, and the acquisition of Flender Holdings GmbH. PPA effects were 35 million and integration costs were 2 million in the current quarter, compared to PPA effects of 10 million in the prior-year period. Revenue for A&D climbed 15% year-over-year, to 4.271 billion, and second-quarter orders rose 16%, to 4.814 billion. These topline figures included double-digit growth in Germany as well as internationally. During the quarter, Siemens entered into an agreement to sell A&D’s wireless modules business to a consortium with complementary expertise in the global machine-to-machine (M2M) modules business. Siemens also initiated a carve-out of A&D’s electronics assembly business.
Group profit for the first six months of fiscal 2008 rose 40% at A&D, to 1.367 billion, despite significantly higher PPA effects of 93 million and integration costs of 7 million only partly offset by a gain of 36 million in the prior quarter on the sale of a business. A year earlier, PPA effects in the first half amounted to 20 million. Including the new volume from UGS, A&D increased six-month orders by 17%, to 9.597 billion, and revenue by 18%, to 8.359 billion, with double-digit growth in all major regions of the world.

I&S posted Group profit of 167 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, benefiting from a 30 million gain on the sale of its hydrocarbon service business as well as payment of a performance incentive related to a large postal automation contract in the U.S. Revenue was 2.128 billion in the second quarter, near the prior-year level, and orders rose 7% year-over-year, to 2.602 billion. Both topline figures include negative currency translation effects and somewhat lower demand in Germany compared to the second quarter a year earlier.
Group profit for the first half of fiscal 2008 at I&S climbed 52% year-over-year, to 288 million, as all divisions posted higher earnings year-over-year. The strongest earnings contributions came from Metal Technologies and Infrastructure Logistics, which included the performance incentive mentioned above. Group profit in the current period also benefited from the 30 million divestment gain mentioned above. Both revenue

and orders for the first half rose compared to the prior year, despite negative currency translation effects. I&S expanded its water treatment business in Asia-Pacific with an acquisition in the second quarter. After the close of the quarter, I&S extended its capabilities with an acquisition in its metal technologies business.

Group profit at SBT was 90 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Group profit margin remained level year-over-year, even as revenue declined to 1.201 billion from the prior-year level which included completion of major projects in Europe and the Middle East. Orders totaled 1.333 billion. Both topline figures include negative currency effects related primarily to SBT’s U.S. business.
SBT’s Group profit for the first half of fiscal 2008 declined slightly compared to the prior year. Both revenue and orders came in lower, in the current period primarily due to strong negative currency translation effects in the Group’s U.S. business.

Osram delivered 122 million in Group profit in the second quarter of fiscal 2008, on revenue of 1.188 billion. The Group’s continued rapid growth in Asia-Pacific and other emerging markets was offset by strong negative currency translation effects in Osram’s large NAFTA business, keeping reported results for the quarter near the level of the prior-year period.
First-half year Group profit at Osram matched the level a year earlier. While revenue and orders in the Americas declined on negative currency translation effects, growth in Asia-Pacific and other emerging markets resulted in higher six-month revenue and orders for the Group as a whole. After the close of the quarter, Osram announced an agreement to sell its Global Tungsten & Powders unit. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory review.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, TS took 209 million in charges and posted a loss of 153 million. The largest single charge in the quarter related to the Shanghai Transrapid monorail. A majority of the charges resulted from a substantially completed review of projects at TS, including Combino. Revenue of 982 million came in lower than the prior-year period, due in part to lower billings on large projects in the Turnkey Systems division. Orders in both periods under review included a relatively low number of major new contracts.
TS recorded a loss of 131 million in the first half of fiscal 2008, including the charges related to the project review mentioned above as well as 32 million in additional charges related to Combino in the first quarter. While the first half a year earlier also included charges at major projects, they were largely offset by a 76 million net gain on the sale of the Group’s locomotive leasing business. Lower billings at large projects in the Turnkey Systems division contributed to the decline in first-half revenue compared to the prior-year. Orders increased 18% year-over-year to 2.278 billion, as TS booked a higher number of major orders in the first six months than in the same period a year earlier. TS intends to realign its organization and adjust its cost structure in coming quarters.

PG completed a review of project risks in its fossil power turnkey solutions business in the second quarter. The review identified resource constraints leading to project delays, expiring supplier price agreements, and significantly higher commodity prices. Based on the review, the Group recorded charges of 559 million in the fossil power turnkey business and posted a loss of 221 million in the second quarter compared to Group profit of 330 million in the same period a year earlier. The largest single impact was 163 million at a technically challenging project in Finland (Olkiluoto), which was less than 50% complete at the close of the quarter. PG expects negative margin impacts in coming quarters, stemming from the project review mentioned above. The other businesses within PG were all profitable in both periods under review. These include wind power, industrial applications, products, and plant services. Equity investment income at PG was 21 million for the quarter, including a positive contribution from Areva NP. In the prior-year period, equity investments produced a negative result. PG’s revenue in the current quarter includes a reduction of approximately 200 million due to revised estimates of completion at some projects. Reported revenue also reflects negative currency translation effects related to growth in the Americas. Orders climbed 21%, to 6.062 billion, as demand more than doubled in the wind and product businesses compared to the same quarter a year earlier and PG won several new orders for high-efficiency combined-cycle power plants.
PG’s loss of 86 million in the first six months of fiscal 2008 was largely due to the project review charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 mentioned above in the fossil power turnkey solutions business as well as

further charges of approximately 200 million involving a number of large projects, booked in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. A year earlier, charges in this business in the first half-year were lower and confined more particularly to the project in Finland. Most of PG’s other businesses turned in higher earnings in the current period compared to the prior-year period. Similarly, equity investment income showed a positive swing year-over-year, contributing 36 million to Group profit in the current six months compared to a negative 1 million in the prior-year period. PG’s revenue in the first half increased to 5.901 billion, despite the revenue reduction noted above. Orders jumped 19% year-over-year, to 11.954 billion, from an already high basis of comparison in the prior-year. Major orders were most numerous in Europe and the Americas. PG continues to emphasize more selective order intake and increased engineering and project management capabilities, particularly in the fossil power turnkey solutions business. Equity investment income is expected to remain volatile in coming quarters.

PTD’s second-quarter Group profit jumped 54%, to 220 million. Group profit margin also rose significantly, on a favorable product mix and economies of scale associated with higher revenue. This latter development was particularly evident in results for the Group’s three largest businesses. PTD as a whole delivered 8% revenue growth and 16% order growth, showing its ability to respond to varying regional cycles in the global market for secure, high-efficiency power transmission and distribution. While revenue in the current period reflects significant order growth in Europe and Asia Pacific in prior periods, new contracts in the second quarter came primarily from robust demand in Africa and the Middle East.
First-half Group profit at PTD climbed 55% year-over-year, to 424 million, for the same reasons given above for the second quarter. All divisions within the Group increased their revenues, and strong operating leverage in the Group’s larger divisions generated sharply higher profits and earnings margins. Orders rose to 5.673 billion, an increase compared to the strong prior-year period despite negative currency translation effects.

Med delivered Group profit of 341 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Group profit margin was strongly influenced by PPA effects and integration costs associated with acquisitions by Med’s Diagnostics division, including the acquisition of Dade Behring between the periods under review. These factors took approximately 370 basis points from Group profit margin, including PPA effects of 50 million and integration costs of 52 million. A year earlier, PPA and integration costs were 37 million and 9 million, respectively, taking 190 basis points from Group profit margin. Furthermore, these prior-period effects were largely offset by gains on divestments as well as from the sale of a portion of Med’s stake in a joint venture, Draeger Medical AG

& Co. Including the PPA and integration effects mentioned above, the Diagnostics division posted earnings of 50 million on revenue of 817 million in the current quarter. Med’s imaging and IT business continued to deliver solid profitability despite increasing challenges in market conditions. Second-quarter revenue and orders rose 10% year-over-year, as new volume from the Dade Behring acquisition more than offset significant negative currency translation effects in the U.S. Med also won a major order from a particle therapy center, the first of its kind in northern Germany.
Med delivered 673 million in Group profit in the first half of fiscal 2008, up 6% from 636 million in the same period a year earlier. While Med’s imaging and IT businesses contributed the majority of Group profit in both periods, the Diagnostics division significantly increased its earnings contribution year-over-year despite substantial PPA and integration costs. Benefiting from the Dade Behring acquisition between the periods under review, Diagnostics posted 116 million in earnings on 1.529 billion in revenue in the current six months, compared to 47 million in earnings on 570 million in the prior-year period. PPA effects totaled 101 million (including 19 million of non-recurring inventory step-up charges) for the first half-year and integration costs totaled 87 million, cutting the Group profit margin for Med overall by 350 basis points. A year earlier, PPA effects and integration costs in the first half were 44 million (including 13 million of non-recurring inventory step-up charges) and 15 million, respectively, reducing Group profit margin by 130 basis points. These effects in the prior-year period were partly offset by divestment gains mentioned above. Six-month revenue and orders for Med rose 18% year-over-year, as new volume from acquisitions more than offset strong negative currency translation effects.

Results for Siemens IT Solutions and Services in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were influenced strongly by charges at projects in the U.K. These charges had a net earnings impact of 89 million, leading to a loss of 35 million in the current quarter. Revenues declined to 1.266 billion in part due to cancellation of a large contract. In contrast, second-quarter orders rose sharply, to 1.445 billion, as the Group became the lead vendor to NSN for IT infrastructure services and won a major digital media contract from the BBC in England.
Results for Siemens IT Solutions and Services in the first half of fiscal 2008 largely reflect the factors mentioned above for the second quarter, as the project charges led to a decline in Group profit. Primarily the project cancellation and negative currency translation effects held revenue below the prior-year level, and orders climbed on the strength of the major new contracts with external customers mentioned above.
Strategic Equity Investments (SEI)
SEI includes results at equity from three companies in which Siemens holds a strategic equity stake: NSN, BSH, and Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) B.V. (FSC). SEI contributed equity investment income of 14 million in the second quarter compared to 99 million in the same period a year earlier. The largest factor in this decline was NSN, which became part of SEI between the periods under review. NSN took charges of 100 million in the current quarter, primarily involving integration costs. As a result, Siemens incurred an equity investment loss of 45 million related to NSN in the current quarter.
Equity investment income for the first half of fiscal 2008 was 40 million, down from 151 million in the prior-year period. The decline was mainly due to NSN, which reported 220 million in charges for restructuring and integration programs. As a result, Siemens incurred an equity investment loss of 82 million at NSN.

Other Operations
Other Operations consist of centrally held business activities, shared services and other costs not allocated to a Group. In the second quarter of fiscal 2008, Siemens determined a course of action for each of the activities within Other Operations and began executing corresponding measures. Options under this transformation program include integration into an existing Siemens Group, divestment, joint venture or closure. Partly as a result of the program, sales for Other Operations declined to 630 million from 743 million in the prior-year quarter, and the loss from Other Operations narrowed to a negative 54 million from a negative 112 million in the second quarter a year earlier. Within business activities, earnings at Siemens Home and Office Communications Devices (SHC) remained stable near break-even. The closure of a regional payphone unit in Europe entailed 46 million in expenses, primarily for severance. In the prior-year period, this business had an impairment of 52 million. Regional expenses not allocated to the Groups decreased compared to the prior-year period.
For the first half of the fiscal year, the result of Other Operations was a negative 118 million compared to a negative 97 million in the prior-year. The difference is due primarily to a goodwill impairment of 70 million in the first quarter related to a buildings and infrastructure business that is held for disposal. SHC was profitable in both six-month periods, and costs not directly related to business activities declined year-over-year. Sales for Other Operations in the first six months of fiscal 2008 were 1.338 billion, down from 1.543 billion in the prior-year period.
Reconciliation to financial statements
Reconciliation to financial statements includes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Groups because the Managing Board has determined that such items are not indicative of Group performance.
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations totaled a negative 499 million in the second quarter compared to a negative 169 million in prior-year period. The increase is due primarily to Corporate items, which totaled a negative 506 million compared to a negative 210 million in the same quarter a year ago. The largest factor within this change was an increase in costs for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities. These expenses rose to 148 million from 13 million in the prior-year quarter. Corporate items in the current period also include costs associated with the transformation of Siemens’ corporate structure. The largest of these was 64 million related to a regional sales organization in Germany, primarily including an impairment. Finally, the current quarter includes a 32 million donation to the Siemens Foundation in the U.S., which conducts prestigious national competitions and scholarship programs in mathematics, science and engineering.
In the first half of fiscal 2008, Corporate items, pensions and eliminations totaled a negative 792 million compared to a negative 820 million a year earlier. In the current period, expenses for outside advisors engaged in compliance investigations were significantly higher year-over-year, at 241 million compared to 13 million in the prior-year period. The current period also includes the factors mentioned above for the second quarter. The prior-year period included a 423 million antitrust penalty imposed by the European Commission on major providers of gas-isolated switchgear, effects related to hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting, and 54 million primarily to fund job placement companies for former Siemens employees affected by the bankruptcy of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG.
Other interest expense
Other interest expense of Operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 74 million compared to 141 million a year earlier. The change year-over-year was mainly due to a decrease in intra-company financing of Operations by Corporate Treasury. For the first half of fiscal 2008 interest expense was 195 million compared to 229 million a year earlier.

Income before income taxes at SRE in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was 60 million, up from 42 million a year earlier on increased gains from real estate sales.
The increase of 79% in income before income taxes for the first half of fiscal 2008 was also due primarily to higher gains from sales of real estate. Disposals of real estate are expected to increase in coming quarters.
Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
Income before income taxes from Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was a negative 2 million compared to a positive 31 million in the same period a year earlier. The difference was mainly due to negative results from hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting and lower interest income from intra-company financing.
In the first half of fiscal 2008, income before income taxes from eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was 8 million compared to 77 million in the first half a year earlier. The difference year-over-year was mainly due to negative results from hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting.

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

*   The closest comparable financial measure under IFRS is “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.” “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” from continuing operations as well as from continuing and discontinued operations is reported within the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow” for Siemens as a whole as well as for the components of Siemens (see table below). Refer to “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” for information on the reconciliation of cash flow used for “Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment” as reported in this table and the table below with the line item “Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment” as reported within the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.” Other companies that report Free cash flow may define and calculate it differently.
Operating activities provided net cash of 2.173 billion in the first six months, compared to net cash provided of 2.417 billion in the same period of the prior-year. These results include both continuing operations and discontinued operations. Within the total, continuing operations provided net cash of 2.756 billion compared to 3.609 billion a year earlier. Discontinued operations improved to net cash used of 583 million in the current period, compared to net cash used of 1.192 billion in the prior period which included a substantially higher build up of net working capital, particularly receivables. The current period includes a 201 million payment for a previously disclosed fine imposed by the Munich district court, which is related to the investigation of former Com activities by the Munich Office of Public Prosecution.
Investing activities in continuing operations and discontinued operations provided net cash of 4.906 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to net cash used of 6.194 billion in the prior-year period. Within the total, continuing operations in the first half used net cash of 5.947 billion compared to net cash used of 5.759 billion a year earlier. Discontinued operations provided 10.853 billion in net cash during the current period, due primarily to proceeds of approximately 11.4 billion from the sale of SV.

Within Operations, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased to 1.503 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to net cash provided of 1.901 billion in the same period a year earlier. The decrease was driven by lower income from continuing operations as well as by increased cash outflows related to net working capital. PG and Med were impacted by a higher increase in net inventories year-over-year, while PG benefited from substantially higher billings in excess of costs compared to the prior-year period. Within Corporate Treasury and Financing and Real Estate, operating activities from continuing operations provided net cash of 1.253 billion in the first six months, compared to net cash provided of 1.708 billion in the same period a year earlier. The current period includes positive effects related to foreign currency derivatives, whereas the prior period benefited from the reduction of accounts receivable related to the transfer of carrier activities into NSN. For Siemens overall, net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations amounted to 2.756 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2008, compared to 3.609 billion in the prior-year period.
Net cash used in investing activities in continuing operations was 5.209 billion within Operations in the first six months of fiscal 2008 largely unchanged from the prior-year level of 5.313 billion. Cash outflows in the current period primarily related to the acquisition of Dade Behring at Med for approximately 4.4 billion (net of 69 million cash acquired), while the prior-year period included 4.2 billion related to the acquisition of Bayer’s diagnostic business at Med as well as a payment to acquire AG Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch at PG. Corporate Treasury and Financing and Real Estate used net cash in investing activities in continuing operations of 738 million in the current period compared to 446 million cash used in the prior-year period. Siemens as a whole used net cash in investing activities in continuing operations of 5.947 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2008 compared to net cash used of 5.759 billion in the same period a year earlier.
Free cash flow from continuing operations for Siemens amounted to 1.406 billion in the first six months, compared to 2.259 billion in the same period a year earlier. The change year-over-year is due to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities within Operations and Corporate Treasury and Financing and Real Estate activities as discussed above. Cash used for additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment remained stable year-over-year. The cash conversion rate for continuing operations, calculated as Free cash flow from continuing operations divided by income from continuing operations, was 0.86 for the first half of fiscal 2008.
Financing activities from continuing and discontinued operations used net cash of 6.005 billion compared to net cash provided of 415 million in the first six months a year earlier. The current period includes substantially higher cash used for the purchase of common stock, at 1.998 billion compared to 101 million a year earlier. Within the current total is approximately 1.6 billion related to the share buyback tranche launched in January. In addition, the Company incurred cash outflows of approximately 0.4 billion during the first half of April 2008 to complete the first tranche. Short-term debt was reduced by 1.571 billion in the current period, mainly due to repayment of commercial paper and medium-term notes as well as repayment of debt originally raised by Dade Behring in the amount of 0.4 billion. In the first half a year earlier, the issuance of commercial paper programs contributed to a net increase in short-term debt of 3.116 billion. Dividends paid to shareholders (for fiscal 2007) in the current six months amounted to 1.462 billion, compared 1.292 billion (paid for fiscal 2006) in the prior-year period.
Capital resources and requirements
Our capital resources consist of a variety of short- and long-term financial instruments including loans from financial institutions, commercial paper, medium-term notes and bonds. In addition, other capital resources consist of liquid resources such as cash and cash equivalents, future cash flows from operating activities and current available-for-sale financial assets.

Total liquidity refers to the liquid financial assets we had available at the respective balance sheet date to fund our business operations and pay for near term obligations. Total liquidity comprises cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale financial assets. Net liquidity results from total liquidity less total debt. Total debt as stated on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relates to our commercial paper, medium-term notes, bonds, loans from banks and other financial indebtedness such as obligations under finance leases. We use the net liquidity measure for internal corporate finance management, as well as for external communication with investors, analysts and rating agencies. “Net liquidity” should not be interpreted as signifying that the relevant amount is entirely free for discretionary application.

Net liquidity increased from a negative 11.299 billion as of September 30, 2007 to a negative 7.203 billion as of March 31, 2008. For further information please see the discussion of cash flows above.
Our capital requirements include scheduled debt service, regular capital spending, ongoing cash requirements from operating activities and capital requirements for our share buyback program (for further information please refer to “Cash flow — First six months of fiscal 2008 compared to first six months of fiscal 2007”).
Pension plan funding
At the end of the first six months of fiscal 2008, the combined funding status of Siemens’ principal pension plans was balanced, compared to an underfunding of 1.0 billion at the end of fiscal 2007. The improvement in funding status is due primarily to a significant increase in the discount rate assumption at March 31, 2008, which reduced Siemens’ estimated defined benefit obligation (DBO). Contributions and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension liabilities also had a positive influence. Taken together, these factors more than offset the negative effect of service and interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and a negative actual return on plan assets. While fixed-income investments yielded positive results in the first six months, a negative performance in equity investments resulted in an actual return on plan assets of a loss of 943 million. This represents a negative 8.2% return on an annualized basis, compared to the expected annual return of 6.5%.
The fair value of plan assets of Siemens’ principal funded pension plans as of March 31, 2008, was 22.0 billion, compared to 24.0 billion as of September 30, 2007. In the first six months of fiscal 2008, employer contributions amounted to 450 million compared to 517 million in the first six months of the prior period. Beside the negative actual return on plan assets, the decrease in plan assets was due to benefits paid during the six-month period, currency translation effects and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension assets.
The DBO for Siemens’ principal pension plans amounted to 22.0 billion as of March 31, 2008, approximately 3.0 billion lower than the DBO of 25.0 billion as of September 30, 2007. The difference is due to a significant increase in the discount rate assumption at March 31, 2008, currency translation effects and the disposal of Siemens VDO pension liabilities. Altogether these factors strongly outweighed the negative effect of service and interest cost less benefits paid during the first six months of the current period.

Risk management
Within the scope of its entrepreneurial activities and the variety of its operations, Siemens is exposed to numerous risks which could negatively affect business development. For the early recognition and successful

management of relevant risks we employ a number of coordinated risk management and control systems. Risk management facilitates the sustainable protection of our future corporate success as an integral part of all decisions and business processes of the Company.
In Siemens’ Annual Report for fiscal 2007 we described the risks which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and also the design of our risk management system.
For significant developments regarding project risks, risk related to portfolio activities and legal, compliance and regulatory developments, please refer to the sections entitled “Segment information analysis”, “Legal proceedings” and “Outlook” within this Interim Report.
During the first six months of fiscal 2008 we identified no further significant risks besides those presented in the Annual Report for fiscal 2007 and the sections entitled “Segment information analysis”, “Legal proceedings” and “Outlook” within this Interim Report. Additional risks not known to us or that we currently consider immaterial could also impair our business operations. We do not expect to incur any risks that alone or in combination would appear to jeopardize the continuity of the Company’s business.
For information concerning forward-looking statements and additional information, please also refer to “Outlook” and the “Disclaimer” at the end of the “Interim group management report.”
Legal Proceedings
For information on legal proceedings, see “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements”.
outlook
Siemens expects organic revenue to grow at twice the rate of GDP growth in fiscal 2008 and that full-year Group profit from Operations and income from continuing operations will match the levels achieved in fiscal 2007. This outlook excludes earnings impacts that may arise from legal and regulatory matters, which are not yet quantifiable, and from measures that may be taken as part of Siemens’ transformation programs, including SG&A reduction. Within discontinued operations, divestment of the enterprise networks business is expected to result in a substantial loss.
Our business, financial condition or results of operation could suffer material adverse effects as a result of certain other risks. For an overview of the Company’s risk factors as well as its opportunities see “Risk management” in this Interim group management report and in our Annual Report for fiscal 2007.

EBITDA (adjusted), Return on capital employed (ROCE), Free cash flow and Cash conversion rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Information for a reconciliation of these amounts to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures is available on our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/ir -> Financial Publications -> Quarterly Reports. “Group profit from operations” is reconciled to “Income before income taxes” of Operations under “Reconciliation to financial statements” in the table “Segment Information.”
This document contains forward-looking statements and information — that is, statements related to future, not past, events. These statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “looks forward to,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “project” or words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on our current expectations and certain assumptions, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect our operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For us, particular uncertainties arise, among others, from changes in general economic and business conditions (including margin developments in major business areas); the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; lack of acceptance of new products or services by customers targeted by Siemens; changes in business strategy; the outcome of pending investigations and legal proceedings, especially the corruption investigations we are currently subject to in Germany, the United States and elsewhere; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on our ongoing business including our relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on our financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained throughout this report and in our other filings with the SEC, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com, and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Siemens does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
NOTES
1. Basis of presentation
The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries, (the Company or Siemens). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
Siemens prepares and reports its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in euros (). Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a balanced business portfolio of activities predominantly in the field of electronics and electrical engineering.
Interim financial statements—The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2008, the Consolidated Statements of Income and Income and Expense Recognized in Equity for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. These interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim financial reporting, and should be read in connection with the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements prepared for fiscal 2007. The interim financial statements are based on the accounting principles and practices applied in the preparation of the financial statements for fiscal 2007. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Results for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of future results.
Financial statement presentation—The presentation of the Company’s worldwide financial data (Siemens) is accompanied by a component model presentation that shows the worldwide financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the operating businesses (Operations) separately from those for financing and real estate activities (Financing and Real Estate), the Corporate Treasury and certain elimination and reclassification effects (Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury). These components contain the Company’s reportable segments (also referred to as “Groups”). The financial data presented for these components are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if they were separate entities under IFRS. See also Note 14. The information disclosed in these Notes relates to Siemens unless otherwise stated.
Basis of consolidation—The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly controlled. Control is generally conveyed by ownership of the majority of voting rights. Additionally, the Company consolidates special purpose entities (SPEs) when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with Siemens, the Company concludes that it controls the SPE. Associated companies—companies in which Siemens has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally through direct or indirect ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting rights)—are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Companies in which Siemens has joint control are also recorded using the equity method.
Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes—The current tax expense in interim periods is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate.
Reclassification—The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
In January 2008, the IASB published the amended standards IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” (IFRS 3(2008)) and IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (IAS 27 (2008)).
IFRS 3 (2008) reconsiders the application of acquisition accounting for business combinations. Major changes relate to the measurement of non-controlling interests, the accounting for business combinations achieved in stages as well as the treatment of contingent consideration and acquisition-related costs. Based on the new regulation, non-controlling interests may be measured at their fair value (full-goodwill-methodology) or at the proportional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In business combinations achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value. Any changes to contingent consideration classified as a liability at the acquisition date are recognized in profit and loss. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.
Major changes in relation to IAS 27 (2008) relate to the accounting for transactions which do not result in a change of control as well as to those leading to a loss of control. If there is no loss of control, transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as equity transactions not affecting profit and loss. At the date control is lost, any retained equity interests are remeasured to fair value. Based on the amended standard, non-controlling interests may show a deficit balance since both profits and losses are allocated to the shareholders based on their equity interests.
The amended standards are effective for business combinations in annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of IFRS 3(2008) and IAS 27(2008) and will determine an adoption date.
2. Acquisitions, dispositions and discontinued operations
  a)   Acquisitions
At the beginning of November 2007, Siemens completed the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (Dade Behring), USA, a leading manufacturer and distributor of diagnostic products and services to clinical laboratories. Dade Behring, which was consolidated as of November 2007 will be integrated into Medical Solutions’ (Med) Diagnostics division. The aggregate consideration, including the assumption of debt, amounts to approximately 4.9 billion (including 69 cash acquired). The company has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, approximately 1,145 was allocated to intangible assets subject to amortization and approximately 3,326 was recorded as goodwill.
  b)   Dispositions and discontinued operations
  ba)   Siemens VDO Automotive (SV)
At the beginning of December 2007, Siemens sold its SV activities to Continental AG, Hanover, Germany for a sales price of approximately 11.4 billion. The transaction resulted in a preliminary gain, net of related costs of 5,523, which is included in discontinued operations. The historical results of SV are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

As a result of taxable reorganizations in fiscal 2007, prior to the completion of the sale, no disposal gain related income taxes arose on the disposal of SV in December 2007.
  bb)   Communications (Com)
The historical results of the former operating segment Com, with the exception of certain business activities which are now part of Other Operations and A&D (see Note 14 for further information), are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The Com activities previously included the Mobile Devices (MD) business, which was sold in fiscal 2005, and the carrier-related operations which were contributed to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V., the Netherlands (NSN) in April 2007. The Company is actively pursuing its plan to dispose of the enterprise networks business, which was also previously included in Com. The Company expects to realize a substantial loss upon closing of the transaction.
The assets and liabilities of the above transactions were classified on the balance sheet as held for disposal and measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. As of March 31, 2008 and as of September 30, 2007, the assets and liabilities classified as held for disposal include the assets and liabilities of the enterprise networks business and also certain amounts relating to the carrier-related operations.

The increase in Other guarantees as of March 31, 2008, is primarily due to the amounts related to the indemnification provisions related to the sale of the SV activities to Continental AG (see Note 2 for additional information).
11. Legal proceedings
As previously reported, public prosecutors and other government authorities in jurisdictions around the world are conducting investigations of Siemens and certain of our current and former employees regarding allegations of public corruption, including criminal breaches of fiduciary duty including embezzlement, as well as bribery, money laundering and tax evasion, among others. These investigations involve allegations of corruption at a number of Siemens’ business groups.
For more information regarding these and other legal proceedings in which Siemens is involved, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential financial impact on the Company, please refer to Siemens’ Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (Annual Report) and its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (Form 20-F), and, in particular, to the information contained in “Item 3: Key Information — Risk Factors”, “Item 4: Information on the Company — Legal Proceedings”, “Item 5: Operating Financial Review and Prospects”, and “Item 15: Controls and Procedures” of the Form 20-F.
Developments regarding investigations and legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of Siemens’ Annual Report and Form 20-F include:
    The investigation of the Munich public prosecutor extends beyond the former Communications group. To date, the Munich public prosecutor has announced that groups under investigation include Siemens’ Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) group, in which a former member of the Managing Board is a suspect, the Power Generation (PG) group, the Medical Solutions (Med) group, the Transportation Systems (TS) group and Siemens’ IT Solutions and Services group. The investigation of the Munich public prosecutor remains ongoing.
 
    Debevoise & Plimpton LLP (Debevoise), an independent external law firm engaged by the Company to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation to determine whether anti-corruption regulations have been violated and to conduct an independent and comprehensive assessment of the Company’s compliance and control systems, is investigating leads generated by the Company’s amnesty program, as well as other sources.

    In the course of its investigation, Debevoise identifies and reports to the Company evidence of payments to business consultants, sales-related intermediaries and cash payments. The Company analyzes whether such payments were considered in its analysis of income tax non-deductible payments conducted in fiscal 2007.
 
    In November 2007, authorities in Nigeria conducted searches of the premises of Siemens Ltd. Nigeria in connection with an investigation into alleged illegal payments to Nigerian public officials between 2002 and 2005.
 
    In December 2007, the Norwegian public prosecutor’s office conducted a search of Siemens AS Norway’s offices as well as several private homes in connection with payments made by Siemens for golf trips in 2003 and 2004, which were attended by members of the Norwegian Department of Defense. In light of this and the previously reported investigation of allegations of bribery and overcharging of the Department of Defense related to the awarding of a contract for the delivery of communication equipment, the Department of Defense has announced that it will not conduct further business with Siemens at this time.
 
    The public prosecutor in Milan is investigating allegations as to whether two employees of Siemens S.p.A. made illegal payments to employees of the state-owned gas and power group ENI. In November 2007, the public prosecutor filed charges against the two employees, Siemens S.p.A. and one of its subsidiaries, as well as against other individuals and companies not affiliated with Siemens.
 
    Authorities in Russia are conducting an investigation into alleged embezzlement of public funds when awarding contracts to Siemens for the delivery of medical equipment to public authorities in Ekaterinburg in the years 2003 to 2005. An employee of Siemens Russia was previously arrested in connection with this investigation.
 
    In January 2008, the Vienna public prosecutor announced an investigation into payments relating to Siemens AG Austria and its subsidiary VAI for which valid consideration could not be identified.
 
    In January 2008, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency executed a search warrant at the premises of Siemens Malaysia and requested interviews with several employees of Siemens Malaysia in connection with an investigation into a project involving the PTD group.
 
    As previously disclosed, Siemens was contacted by representatives of regional development banks, including the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank, regarding anti-corruption inquiries and other matters of relevance to them.
 
    As previously reported, in connection with the investigation relating to an agreement entered into by Siemens with an entity controlled by the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger), in April 2007, a former member of the Managing Board was arrested and subsequently posted bail in the amount of 5 and was released from custody. In connection with the posting of bail, a bank issued a bond (Bankbürgschaft) in the amount of 5, 4.5 of which was guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the provisions of German law. The warrant associated with the arrest of the former member of the Managing Board has since been revoked and the bank bond, as well as the Company’s guarantee thereof, has been released.
 
    In January 2008, the Competition Authority of Slovakia imposed a fine of 3.3 on Siemens and VA Tech in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations in the market for high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. The Company has filed an appeal against this decision.

    In December 2007, a suit and motion for approval of a class action was filed in Israel to commence a class action based on the fines imposed by the European Commission for alleged anti-trust violations in connection with high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. Thirteen companies have been named as defendants in the suit and motion, among them Siemens AG Germany, Siemens AG Austria and Siemens Israel Ltd. The class action alleges damages to electricity consumers in Israel in the amount of approximately 575 related to higher electricity prices claimed to have been paid because of the alleged anti-trust violations. The court has not yet ruled on the motion for approval of the class action.
 
    As previously reported, in December 2006, the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (FTC) had searched the offices of more than ten producers and dealers of healthcare equipment, including Siemens Asahi Medical Technologies Ltd., in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations. In February 2008, the FTC announced their findings. Siemens was found not guilty of participating in anti-trust violations, and was therefore not fined or otherwise punished.
 
    Pursuant to an agreement of June 6, 2005, the Company sold its mobile devices business to Qisda Corp. (formerly named BenQ Corp.), a Taiwanese company. A dispute arose in 2006 between the Company and Qisda concerning the calculation of the purchase price. Beginning in September 2006, several subsidiaries in different countries used by Qisda for purposes of the acquisition filed for insolvency protection and failed to fulfill their obligations under various contracts transferred to them by the Company under the agreement. On December 8, 2006, the Company initiated arbitration proceedings against Qisda requesting a declaratory award that certain allegations made by Qisda in relation to the purchase price calculation are unjustified. The Company further requested an order that Qisda perform its obligations and/or the obligations of its local subsidiaries assumed in connection with the acquisition or, in the alternative, that Qisda indemnify the Company for any losses. The Company’s request for arbitration was filed with the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris. The seat of arbitration is Zurich, Switzerland. In March 2007, Qisda raised a counterclaim alleging that the Company made misrepresentations in connection with the sale of the mobile devices business and asserted claims in connection with the purchase price. Qisda amended its counterclaim in March 2008 by (i) changing its request for declaratory relief with regard to the alleged misrepresentations to a request for substantial damages, and (ii) raising further claims for substantial damages and declaratory relief. The Company will request that the arbitral tribunal dismiss the counterclaim.
The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in the United States and other jurisdictions around the world. As a result, additional criminal or civil sanctions could be brought against the Company itself or against certain of its employees in connection with possible violations of law, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In addition, the scope of pending investigations may be expanded and new investigations commenced in connection with allegations of bribery and other illegal acts. The Company’s operating activities, financial results and reputation may also be negatively affected, particularly due to imposed penalties, fines, disgorgements, compensatory damages, the formal or informal exclusion from public procurement contracts or the loss of business licenses or permits. In addition to the amounts previously reported, including the fine imposed by the Munich district court, no material charges or provisions for any such penalties, fines, disgorgements or damages have been recorded or accrued as management does not yet have enough information to estimate such amounts reliably. We expect that we will need to record expenses and provisions in the future for penalties, fines or other charges, which could be material, in connection with the investigations. On January 24, 2008, the Company announced, at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, that the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice had agreed to begin discussions with the Company regarding a possible settlement of their investigations into possible violations of U.S. law in connection with allegations of corruption. The Company anticipates that such discussions will continue over many months. The Company will also have to bear the costs of continuing investigations and related legal proceedings, as well as the costs of on-going remediation efforts. Furthermore, changes affecting the Company’s course of business or changes to its compliance programs beyond those already taken may be required.
Information required under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets is not disclosed for certain legal proceedings, if the Company concludes that the disclosure can be expected to prejudice seriously the outcome of the litigation.

In addition to the investigations and legal proceedings described in Siemens’ Annual Report as well as in Form 20-F and as updated above, Siemens AG and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in connection with their activities as a global diversified group. Some of these pending proceedings have been previously disclosed. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Siemens is from time to time also involved in regulatory investigations beyond those described in its Annual Report as well as Form 20-F and as updated above. Siemens is cooperating with the relevant authorities in several jurisdictions and, where appropriate, conducts internal investigations regarding potential wrongdoing with the assistance of in-house and external counsel. Given the number of legal actions and other proceedings to which Siemens is subject, some may result in adverse decisions. Siemens contests actions and proceedings when it considers it appropriate. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, Siemens often cannot predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. The final resolution of the matters discussed in this paragraph could have a material effect on Siemens’ consolidated operating results for any reporting period in which an adverse decision is rendered. However, Siemens believes that its consolidated financial position should not be materially affected by the additional legal matters discussed in this paragraph.
12. Share-based payment
Share-based payment plans at Siemens are designed as equity-settled plans as well as cash-settled plans. Total expense for share-based payment recognized in net income for continuing and discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to 1 and 11, respectively, and 41 and 36 for the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This refers primarily to equity-settled awards, including the Company’s employee share purchase program.
For a description of the Siemens share-based payment plans, see the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2007.
Stock Option Plans
Since the authority to distribute options under the 2001 Siemens Stock Option Plan expired on December 13, 2006, no further options will be granted under this plan.

Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends. Total fair value of stock awards granted in the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, amounted to 72 and 83, respectively.
As of March 31, 2008, unrecognized compensation costs related to stock awards amount to 112, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 2.4 years.
Employee share purchase program
Under an employee share purchase program with compensation character, employees may purchase a limited number of shares in the Company at preferential prices once a year. Up to a stipulated date in the first quarter of the fiscal year, employees may order the shares, which are usually issued in the second quarter of the fiscal year. The employee share purchase program is measured at fair value. During the six months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred compensation expense before tax of 27 and 27, based on a preferential employee share price of 69.19 and 51.20, respectively, and a grant-date fair value of 37.20 and 20.79, respectively, per share.

14. Segment information
As of March 31, 2008, the Company has twelve reportable segments referred to as Groups reported among the components used in Siemens’ financial statement presentation as described in Note 1. The Groups are organized based on the nature of products and services provided.
Within the Operations component, Siemens has nine Groups which involve manufacturing, industrial and commercial goods, solutions and services in areas related to Siemens’ origins in the electrical business. Also included in Operations is Strategic Equity Investments (SEI), as well as operating activities not associated with a Group, the latter of which are reported under Other Operations. Reconciling items are discussed in Reconciliation to financial statements below.

In fiscal 2006, Siemens announced portfolio changes that resulted in dissolving Com as a Group and reportable segment. As discussed in Note 2, the primary business components of the former operating segment Com were either already disposed of (carrier networks and MD) or still held for disposal (enterprise networks) as of March 31, 2008. Except for Wireless Modules, currently part of A&D, and other businesses including the former division Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices, which is currently part of Other Operations, the historical results of Com are presented as discontinued operations. Current and prior-year segment disclosures exclude the applicable information included in the Company’s financial statement presentation.
The historical results of the SV business are reported as discontinued operations. Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, SV ceased to represent a reportable segment. Current and prior-year segment disclosures therefore exclude the applicable information included in the Company’s financial statement presentation.
The Financing and Real Estate component includes the Groups SFS and SRE. The Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury component separately reports the consolidation of transactions among Operations and Financing and Real Estate, as well as certain reclassifications and the activities of the Company’s Corporate Treasury.
The accounting policies of these components, as well as the Groups included, are generally the same as those used for Siemens. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments. Intersegment transactions are generally based on market prices.
New orders are determined principally as the estimated revenue of accepted purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent.
Operations
The Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the Operations Groups. The Company’s profitability measure for its Operations Groups is earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs, and income taxes (Group profit) as determined by the Managing Board as the chief operating decision maker (see discussion below). Group profit excludes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Groups since the Managing Board does not regard such items as indicative of the Groups’ performance. Group profit represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market financing issues.
Financing interest is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Groups and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Group profit because decision-making regarding financing is typically made centrally by Corporate Treasury.
Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Group profit primarily includes only amounts related to the service cost of pension plans, while all other regular pension related costs (including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs) are included in the line item Corporate items, pensions and eliminations.
Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Group profit since tax expense is subject to legal structures which typically do not correspond to the structure of the Operations Groups.
The Managing Board utilizes net capital employed to assess the capital intensity of the Operations Groups. Its definition corresponds with the Group profit measure. Net capital employed is based on total assets excluding intragroup financing receivables and intragroup investments and tax related assets, as the corresponding positions are excluded from Group profit (asset-based adjustments). The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest-bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities (e.g. trade payables) and provisions (liability-based adjustments) to derive net capital employed. The reconciliation of total assets to net capital employed is presented below.
Other Operations primarily refers to operating activities not associated with a Group, as well as to assets recently acquired as part of acquisitions for which the allocation to the Groups are not yet finalized.

Reconciliation to financial statements includes items which are excluded from the definition of Group profit as well as costs of corporate headquarters.
Corporate items includes corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, the results of corporate-related derivative activities, as well as corporate projects and non-operating investments. Pensions includes the Company’s pension related income (expenses) not allocated to the Groups. Eliminations represents the consolidation of transactions within the Operations component.
In the six months ended March 31, 2008, Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the column Group profit includes (820) related to corporate items, as well as 27 and 1 related to pensions and eliminations, respectively. Included in the amount of (820) above is a total of (241) for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities (see Note 4 for additional information). In the six months ended March 31, 2007, Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the column Group profit includes (834) related to corporate items, as well as 19 and (5) related to pensions and eliminations, respectively. Included in the amount of (834) above is a (423) impact related to a fine imposed by the European Commission in connection with an antitrust investigation involving suppliers of high-voltage gas-isolated switching systems in the power transmission and distribution industry between 1988 and 2004 (see Note 4 for additional information ).
Other interest expense of Operations relates primarily to interest paid on debt and corporate financing transactions through Corporate Treasury.

Segment Information also discloses Free cash flow and Additions to property, plant and equipment and intangibles. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Amortization, depreciation and impairments presented in Segment information includes amortization and impairments of intangible assets other than goodwill and depreciation and impairments of property, plant and equipment.
The following table reconciles Free cash flow of the Operations, Financing and Real Estate and Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury components as disclosed in Segment Information to the corresponding consolidated amount for the Company and to net cash provided by operating activities as presented in the Siemens Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. In addition, Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and Amortization, depreciation and impairments of the Operations, Financing and Real Estate and Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury components as disclosed in Segment Information are reconciled to Siemens Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
