Interim group management report
Overview of financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011
(Three months ended March 31, 2011)
    For the fourth straight quarter, all Sectors of Siemens delivered order and revenue growth compared to the prior-year period, including growth in all reporting regions. Our emerging economies grew faster than orders and revenue overall.
 
    Revenue rose 7% and orders climbed 28%. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.17 and the combined backlog for the Sectors was €92 billion.
 
    Total Sectors profit of €3.695 billion including strong profit growth in Energy and Industry and a €1.520 billion gain from the divestment of Siemens’ stake in Areva NP S.A.S. (Areva NP).
 
    Income from continuing operations up to €3.174 billion. Corresponding basic EPS up to €3.58.
 
    Free cash flow from continuing operations down to €354 million on increases in net working capital.
 
    During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, OSRAM and Siemens IT Solutions and Services were classified as discontinued operations. Prior-period results are presented on a comparable basis.
     In the second quarter of fiscal 2011 Siemens achieved outstanding, broad-based order growth. We are raising our forecast for income from continuing operations for fiscal 2011 to at least €7.5 billion.
     Substantial order growth continues in the second quarter. All Sectors delivered higher orders and revenue in the second quarter. Orders climbed 28% on growth across all Sectors and large contract wins, which led to a new high in order intake in the Energy Sector. Revenue increased 7% with growth in all three reporting regions. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, orders increased 27% and revenue rose 6%. The combined book-to-bill ratio for Siemens was 1.17. At the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011 the Sectors’ combined order backlog remained at €92 billion, level with order backlog reached at the end of the first quarter of the current fiscal year, despite significant negative currency translation effects within the quarter.
     Global order growth in established and emerging markets. Energy orders climbed more than 50% on the strength of a number of large contract wins at Fossil Power Generation, Renewable Energy and Power Transmission. Double-digit order growth in Industry included strong increases at all Divisions. Order growth in Healthcare was solid across its businesses.
     All regions delivered double-digit order growth, led by the region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.), Africa and the Middle East and the region Asia, Australia. Within Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, strong growth in Germany included several large Energy orders. Globally, emerging markets again grew significantly faster than orders overall, at 52%, and accounted for €7.475 billion, or 36%, of total orders for the quarter.

(BAR GRAPH)
     Revenue rises in all Sectors and regions. Revenue in Industry was up 9%, due primarily to strong double-digit growth at Drive Technologies and Industry Automation. All Divisions contributed to broad-based revenue growth in Energy. Higher revenue in Healthcare came primarily from its imaging and therapy solutions businesses. Revenue rose in all three regions, led by the Americas and Asia, Australia. More modest increases in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East included double-digit growth in the Middle East. Emerging markets on a global basis grew faster than revenue overall, at 12% year-over-year, and accounted for €5.579 billion, or 31%, of total revenue for the quarter.
(BAR GRAPH)
     Double-digit growth in Sector profit before Areva NP gain. In the second quarter, Total Sectors profit climbed to €3.695 billion, up from €1.849 billion a year earlier. The increase was driven mainly by higher Sector profit at Energy of €2.421 billion. This result was due largely but not only to a pretax €1.520 billion gain from the sale of the Sector’s 34% share in Areva NP to Areva S.A. (Areva). Operating results in Energy included a strong earnings performance by the Fossil Power Generation Division. Profit for Industry also increased substantially year-over-year, with continued strong execution in an improved market environment lifting Sector profit to €824 million.
     In the current quarter, Total Sectors profit benefited from positive currency effects in all Sectors, particularly in Industry and Energy. For comparison, Total Sectors profit in the prior-year period included gains of €157 million related to curtailment of pension plans in the U.S. The Healthcare Sector benefited most strongly from this effect, and as a result its profit of €450 million in the current quarter was lower than in the prior-year quarter. The pension curtailment gains for Energy and Industry were largely offset by charges for capacity adjustments, which totaled €125 million for all Sectors in the prior-year period.

     Income from continuing operations more than doubles. Income from continuing operations in the second quarter increased to €3.174 billion from €1.427 billion, and corresponding basic EPS climbed to €3.58 up from €1.62 a year earlier. These increases were due predominantly to higher Total Sectors profit which includes the gain from the sale of Siemens’ share in Areva NP.
     Net income was impacted by discontinued operations. In the current period, net income rose to €2.836 billion compared to €1.498 billion a year earlier. Corresponding basic EPS increased to €3.20 compared to €1.70 a year earlier.
     Siemens has previously announced plans to divest Siemens IT Solutions and Services (for more information see “Portfolio activities” below) and to publicly offer OSRAM. Siemens intends to retain a minority stake in the future OSRAM, in which it intends to remain a long-term anchor shareholder. Both businesses were classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Prior-period results are presented on a comparable basis.
     Discontinued operations posted a loss of €338 million compared to income of €71 million in the second quarter a year earlier. The main reason for the difference was a loss of €345 million attributable to Siemens IT Solutions and Services including a pretax impairment of €464 million of non-current assets and major project charges of €55 million pretax in the current period. The loss related to Siemens IT Solutions and Services in the prior-year period was €34 million. OSRAM contributed €87 million after tax to income from discontinued operations on higher revenue in all businesses and regions compared to the prior-year period. OSRAM’s result was higher a year earlier, at €91 million after tax, due to a portion of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above.
(BAR GRAPH)
     Net working capital rises on broad-based growth. After several quarters of strong cash performance, Free cash flow from continuing operations decreased from €1.311 billion in the second quarter a year ago to €354 million in the current quarter. The decline was due primarily to a build-up of net working capital at the Sector level associated with broad-based growth, and also lower billings in excess. Furthermore, the current period included higher cash outflows in connection with personnel-related expenses comprising the previously disclosed special remuneration for non-management employees (for further information see “Reconciliation to consolidated financial statements — Corporate items and pensions”).

Table of Contents

Free cash flow from discontinued operations was a negative €416 million, down from a negative €79 million in the prior-year quarter. The decline includes payments related to establishing Siemens IT Solutions and Services as a separate legal group, including for carve-out activities and personnel-related matters. During the second quarter Siemens received €1.7 billion in proceeds from the sale of its stake in Areva NP mentioned earlier. These proceeds are not included in our measure for Free cash flow.
(BAR GRAPH)
     ROCE rises on higher income from continuing operations. On a continuing basis, ROCE (adjusted) increased to 42.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, up from 17.4% a year earlier. The difference was mainly due to higher income from continuing operations, which included the gain on the sale of Siemens’ share in Areva NP.
     Pension plan funded status further improves. The estimated underfunding of Siemens’ pension plans of continuing and discontinued operations as of March 31, 2011, amounted to approximately €5.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of approximately €6.1 billion at the end of the first quarter. The improvement in funded status since December 31, 2010, is due mainly to a decrease in Siemens’ defined benefit obligation (DBO) resulting from an increase in the discount rate assumption as of March 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2010, pension plan underfunding amounted to €7.4 billion.
     New organizational structure announced. At the end of March 2011, Siemens announced a change in its organizational structure. Siemens is going to establish a fourth Sector, Infrastructure & Cities. The new Sector will comprise Industry Sector’s activities of Building Technologies, Mobility and — until its public offering — OSRAM as well as Energy Sector’s activities of Power Distribution including Smart Grid applications. The new Sector will focus on the integration of technologies and customized energy-efficient solutions for public and private infrastructures.
     In the future, the Industry Sector will concentrate exclusively on industry customers. The Sector will optimize its industry orientation and better exploit service business potential. Activities of the Industry Solutions Division will be allocated among the Industry Automation and Drive Technologies Divisions as well as the planned Customer Services Division.
     Financial reporting in the new structure will begin as of October 1, 2011.
     Furthermore, Siemens intends to further strengthen its position in technology by creating a dedicated separate Managing Board position.

Results of Siemens — Three months ended March 31, 2011
     The following discussion presents selected information for Siemens for the second quarter of fiscal 2011:
     Orders and revenue
     For the fourth straight quarter, Siemens delivered year-over-year growth in both orders and revenue. Orders climbed to €20.651 billion, up 28% from the second quarter a year earlier, driven by large contract wins that contributed to a new high in order intake in the Energy Sector. Revenue rose 7% to €17.717 billion, including growth in all Sectors and all three reporting regions. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of currency translation and portfolio transactions, orders rose 27% and revenue was up 6% compared to the prior-year quarter. The combined book-to-bill ratio for the Sectors and Siemens overall was 1.17. The combined order backlog for the three Sectors remained at the level of €92 billion as of March 31, 2011, despite significant negative currency translation effects within the quarter.

     Orders related to external customers rose 28% in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on growth in all three Sectors. Energy orders climbed more than 50% compared to the prior-year period, driven by a number of large contract wins at Fossil Power Generation, Renewable Energy and Power Transmission. Order intake also increased by double digits in the Industry Sector, including strong increases at all Divisions led by Drive Technologies, Mobility and Industry Automation. Order growth in Healthcare was solid across its businesses. On a global basis, orders in emerging markets grew significantly faster than orders overall, at 52%, and accounted for €7.475 billion, or 36%, of total orders for the quarter.
     On a geographic basis, all three reporting regions posted double-digit order growth, led by strong demand in the regions Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and Asia, Australia. In the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East — our largest reporting region — orders increased 33%, due primarily to high demand in the Energy Sector, highlighted by a particularly large order in Saudi Arabia. Industry orders were up 17% in the region and order intake in Healthcare came in level with the prior-year period. Within the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, orders in Germany climbed 77% overall, driven by a number of large orders for offshore wind power generation and grid access. Order growth in the region Americas included double-digit increases in all three Sectors. Industry reported the strongest increase in the region, 22%, driven by strong demand in the U.S. Large orders at Fossil Power Generation were the primary driver for strong order growth in the Americas’ emerging markets. Orders rose 32% in the region Asia, Australia year-over-year, led by Energy and Industry. Order growth in the Energy Sector was due primarily to Oil & Gas and Power Transmission, while higher demand in Industry included double-digit increases at all Divisions in the Asia, Australia region. The 58% order rise in India was driven by substantial growth at Mobility and Industry Solutions, including large contract wins in both Divisions.

Revenue in the Industry Sector increased 9% year-over-year, driven by strong double-digit growth at Drive Technologies and Industry Automation. Energy revenues were up 8% compared to the prior-year quarter on consistent revenue conversion from the Sector’s large order backlog. Higher revenue in the Healthcare Sector was due primarily to increases at its imaging and therapy solutions businesses. Emerging markets on a global basis grew faster than revenue overall, at 12% year-over-year, and accounted for €5.579 billion, or 31%, of total revenue for the quarter.
     On a geographic basis, revenue increased in all three reporting regions, led by double-digit growth in the regions Americas and Asia, Australia. In the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, second-quarter revenue rose 2% from the prior-year quarter, on a 5% increase in the Industry Sector. Sales in Energy and Healthcare in the region came in level year-over-year. In the region Americas, increases in all Sectors were led by revenue growth of 25% in the Energy Sector, including strong backlog conversion at Renewable Energy and Fossil Power Generation. Revenue rose 14% in the region Asia, Australia on double-digit increases in all Sectors. While revenue growth in the region was well balanced among most businesses of Industry and Healthcare, development in the Energy Sector was driven by substantially higher revenues at Oil & Gas.

     Research and development (R&D) expenses increased to €967 million or 5.5% of revenue, from €847 million or 5.1% of revenue in the prior-year period, on increases in all Sectors. Marketing, selling and general administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter rose to €2.506 billion from €2.192 billion on increases in all Sectors associated primarily with growth. General administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly at Industry and remained stable for Energy and Healthcare compared to the prior-year quarter.
     Other operating income was €78 million in the current quarter. For comparison, other operating income of €293 million in the same period a year earlier benefited from a number of positive factors. These included gains from settlement agreements with former Managing and Supervisory Board members in conjunction with compliance matters, €84 million from Siemens’ directors and officers insurance and €38 million related to the agreed recovery of funds frozen by authorities. In addition, the prior-year quarter included higher gains related to the disposal of real estate, including a gain of €69 million on a transaction at Siemens Real Estate (SRE). For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Other operating expense was €72 million in the second quarter, compared to €29 million in the same period a year earlier. The current quarter included charges related to legal and regulatory matters. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Income (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, net was a positive €92 million, compared to a negative €63 million in the second quarter a year earlier. The current period included a gain of €91 million on the sale of our 49% interest in Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW) to the Wegmann Group. Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) posted a loss of €107 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to a loss of €169 million in the prior-year period. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Interest income increased to €543 million, from €499 million in the same period a year earlier, due in part to a higher expected return on plan assets related to our pension plans. This in turn resulted primarily from an increase in pension plan assets between the periods under review. The increase in interest income also included higher interest income relating to an increase in total liquidity compared to the prior-year period.

     Interest expense of €435 million for the current period was level with the prior-year quarter. Lower interest expenses related to our pension plans was partly offset by higher interest expenses on a liability associated with a binding offer to purchase additional shares in order to increase its stake in its publicly listed Indian subsidiary Siemens Ltd. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Other financial income (expense), net was a positive €1.482 billion, compared to a negative €49 million in the same period a year earlier. The change was due mainly to a pretax €1.520 billion gain from the divestment of the 34% share in Areva NP to Areva within the Energy Sector in the current period. Results related to a major asset retirement obligation swung from a net loss in the prior-year period to a net gain in the current period.

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased to €3.737 billion, compared to €1.937 billion in the same period a year earlier. The largest factor in the increase was the pretax Areva NP gain of €1.520 billion. Income also rose on higher gross profit for all Sectors. The effective tax rate was lower year-over-year, at 15%, influenced strongly by the mainly tax-free Areva disposal gain. As a result, income from continuing operations was €3.174 billion, up from €1.427 billion in the prior-year period.
     Discontinued operations primarily includes Siemens IT Solutions and Services and OSRAM, which were classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as mentioned earlier. In addition, discontinued operations include former Com activities, comprising telecommunications carrier activities transferred into NSN in the third quarter of fiscal 2007; the enterprise networks business, 51% of which was divested during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008; and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation in fiscal 2005 as well as former Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) activities, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Income from discontinued operations in the current quarter was a negative €338 million, compared to a positive €71 million a year earlier. The change year-over-year related mainly to a loss of €345 million after tax attributable to Siemens IT Solutions and Services, including a pretax impairment charge of €464 million of non-current assets as well as project charges of €55 million pretax in the current period. For comparison, the loss within discontinued operations related to Siemens IT Solutions and Services in the prior-year period was €34 million after tax. OSRAM contributed a positive €87 million after tax to income from discontinued operations, compared to a positive €91 million in the prior-year period. The prior-year period benefited from a portion of the pension curtailment gain mentioned earlier. For additional information regarding discontinued operations, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Net income for Siemens in the second quarter increased to €2.836 billion, compared to €1.498 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was €2.793 billion, up from €1.478 billion in the prior-year quarter.

Results of Siemens — Six months ended March 31, 2011
     The following discussion presents selected information for Siemens for the first six months of fiscal 2011:
     Orders and revenue
     In the first six months of fiscal 2011, orders rose 25% year-over-year, to €41.488 billion, including a substantially higher volume from major orders in the current period. Revenue increased to €35.320 billion, up 10% from the prior-year period, due in part to strong conversion of orders from the Sectors’ backlogs. This resulted in a book-to-bill ratio for Siemens of 1.17 for the first half. On an organic basis, orders increased 21% and revenue came in 6% above the same period a year earlier.

     Orders related to external customers in the first six months of fiscal 2011 increased 25% compared to the same period a year earlier, including higher demand in all Sectors. Order intake in the Energy Sector climbed 38% year-over-year. A substantially higher volume from major orders in the current period was most evident at Fossil Power Generation. For comparison, demand in Energy in the prior-year period was constrained by challenging market conditions. The Industry Sector reported order growth of more than 20% on increases in all Divisions, including strong demand at Drive Technologies and Industry Automation as well as a higher volume from major orders at Mobility. Broad-based order growth of 8% in the Healthcare Sector benefited strongly from positive currency translation effects. Orders in emerging markets on a global basis grew significantly faster than orders overall, at 41% year-over-year, and accounted for €14.935 billion, or 36%, of total orders for the first half of fiscal 2011.
     On a geographic basis, Siemens reported double-digit order growth in all three reporting regions in the first half of fiscal 2011. In the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, orders rose 21% on increases in Energy and Industry. The Energy Sector delivered order growth of 35% in the region, due primarily to a substantially higher volume from major orders at Fossil Power Generation and Renewable Energy compared to the prior-year period. Industry orders rose 19% in the Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East region, due in part to a higher volume from large orders at Mobility as well as strong demand at Drive Technologies. Healthcare’s first-half orders in the region came in just below the level of the prior year. The 42% order growth in Germany was due primarily to large second-quarter orders for offshore wind power generation and grid access. Benefiting from positive currency translation effects, order intake rose 19% in the region Americas on double-digit increases in all Sectors, led by Industry and Energy. Industry orders grew 22% in the region, including double-digit increases in most Divisions. Higher orders in the Energy Sector were driven by strong demand at Fossil Power Generation which took in a higher volume from major orders. In the region Asia, Australia, orders climbed 44%, including double-digit growth in all Sectors. Orders in the Energy Sector rose 82% in the first half, including substantial increases at Fossil Power Generation and Oil & Gas. Industry reported 29% growth in the region, led by strong demand at Drive Technologies and Industry Automation. Order intake more than doubled in India compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to a major contract win at Fossil Power Generation in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

     Revenue related to external customers rose 10% compared to the first six months of fiscal 2010, including increases in all Sectors. Strong conversion from the Sectors’ order backlogs played a major role in broad-based revenue growth as did beneficial currency translation effects. Revenue in the Industry Sector increased 11% year-over-year, led by strong double-digit growth at Drive Technologies and Industry Automation. Energy also reported revenue growth of 11% in the first half of fiscal 2011 on increases in all Divisions, led by Renewable Energy. Broad-based revenue growth in the Healthcare Sector included a double-digit increase at its imaging and therapy solutions businesses. On a global basis, emerging markets grew faster than revenue overall, at 14%, and accounted for €10.932 billion, or 31%, of total revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2011.
     On a geographic basis, revenue increased in all three reporting regions, led by double-digit growth in the regions Americas and Asia, Australia. In the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, first-half revenue increased 4% year-over-year, including moderate growth in all Sectors. Within the region, double-digit growth in Germany was due primarily to strong increases in the Industry Sector. In the region Americas, higher revenue included strong increases in Energy and Industry. Growth in the Energy Sector was driven by strong backlog conversion at Fossil Power Generation and Renewable Energy. Higher revenues in Industry in the region included double-digit increases at all Divisions. In the region Asia, Australia, first-half revenue rose 16% on double-digit increases in Industry and Healthcare as well as more moderate growth in the Energy Sector. While revenue development in China followed the pattern for the region overall, growth of 28% in India was driven by substantially higher revenue in Energy.

     Research and development (R&D) expenses in the first half of fiscal 2011 increased to €1.831 billion or 5.2% of revenue, from €1.605 billion or 5.0% of revenue in the prior-year period, due to higher expenses in all Sectors. Marketing, selling and general administrative (SG&A) expenses rose to €4.917 billion, due primarily to business growth. General administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased at Industry and remained stable for Energy and Healthcare compared to the first half a year earlier.
     Other operating income in the first six months was €338 million, compared to €460 million in the same period a year earlier. The current period included €64 million related to a settlement of legal and regulatory matters in connection with portfolio activities. For comparison, the prior-year period benefited from the factors mentioned above in the second-quarter discussion. These included gains related to settlement agreements with former Managing and Supervisory Board members in conjunction with compliance matters, Siemens’ directors and officers insurance and the recovery of funds frozen by authorities. In addition, the prior-year period included higher real estate disposal gains and a €44 million gain related to the sale of our Airfield Solutions Business at Mobility. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Other operating expense in the first half was €286 million, compared to €83 million in the prior-year period. The current period included higher charges related to legal and regulatory matters. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Income (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, net increased to €215 million from €50 million in the first half of the prior year. The current period benefited from the above-mentioned sale of our interest in KMW. In addition, the first-half result related to our stake in NSN improved to a loss of €88 million, compared to a loss of €211 million in the prior-year period. For additional information, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Interest income for the first six months increased to €1.091 billion from €991 million a year earlier. The increase was due in part to a higher expected return on plan assets related to our pension plans, resulting primarily from an increase in pension plan assets between the periods under review. The increase in interest income also included higher interest income relating to an increase in total liquidity compared to the prior-year period.

Table of Contents

     Interest expense declined to €854 million from €873 million in the prior-year period, due primarily to lower interest cost related to our pension plans.
     Other financial income (expense), net was a positive €1.410 billion, compared to a negative €63 million in the same period a year earlier. The change was due mainly to the pretax €1.520 billion Areva NP gain mentioned above. Results related to a major asset retirement obligation swung from a net loss in the prior-year period to a net gain in the current period.

     Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased to €6.336 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to €4.009 billion in the same period a year earlier. The change year-over-year is due to the factors mentioned earlier, including the pretax Areva NP gain of 1.520 billion. Income also rose on higher gross profit for all Sectors. The effective tax rate was lower year-over-year, at 21%, influenced by the mainly tax-free Areva disposal gain. Income from continuing operations was €5.020 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, up from €2.876 billion in the prior-year period.
     Discontinued operations primarily includes Siemens IT Solutions and Services and OSRAM, which were classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as mentioned earlier. In addition, discontinued operations include former Com activities, comprising telecommunications carrier activities transferred into NSN in the third quarter of fiscal 2007; the enterprise networks business, 51% of which was divested during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008; and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation in fiscal 2005 as well as former SV activities, which was sold to Continental AG in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Income from discontinued operations in the first six months of fiscal 2011 was a negative €431 million, compared to a positive €153 million a year earlier. The change year-over-year related mainly to a current period loss of €515 million after tax attributable to Siemens IT Solutions and Services, including the pretax impairment charge of €464 million mentioned earlier for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, a pretax goodwill impairment of €136 million booked in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as well as the project charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 also mentioned earlier. For comparison, the loss after tax related to Siemens IT Solutions and Services in the prior-year period was €45 million. OSRAM contributed a positive €199 million after tax to income from discontinued operations, compared to a positive €180 million in the prior-year period. The prior-year period benefited from a portion of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. For additional information regarding discontinued operations, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this Interim Report.
     Net income for Siemens in the first six months of fiscal 2011 increased to €4.589 billion, compared to €3.029 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was €4.511 billion, up from €2.955 billion in the prior-year period.

Portfolio activities
     In November 2010, Siemens closed the acquisition of a non-controlling interest of 49% in A2SEA A/S, a supplier of installation services for the construction of offshore wind farms, reported within the Renewable Energy Division of the Energy Sector.
     In December 2010, Siemens completed the transfer of its 19.8% stake in GIG Holding GmbH (owner of all shares of Gigaset Communications GmbH) to ARQUES Industries AG.
     In December 2010, Siemens and Atos Origin S.A. (Atos) signed an option agreement which granted Atos the right to acquire Siemens IT Solutions and Services. On February 1, 2011, Atos exercised the option and signed an agreement to acquire Siemens IT Solutions and Services. During the second quarter, the transaction was cleared with the antitrust authorities. Pending approval by Atos’ shareholder meeting, closing of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Following signing, Siemens classified Siemens IT Solutions and Services as held for disposal and as discontinued operations. Siemens expects the transaction to have a substantial negative earnings impact in fiscal 2011, in a mid- to high-triple-digit million euro range, depending, among other things, on the final value of the consideration at closing. In particular this negative earnings impact is expected to consist of impairments, including the previously reported goodwill impairment of €136 million booked in the first quarter as well as further impairments on long-lived assets of €464 million booked in the current quarter of fiscal 2011. In addition to the transaction related results and as previously disclosed, Siemens expects further substantial charges in fiscal 2011 related to establishing Siemens IT Solutions and Services as a separate legal group, including for carve-out activities and personnel-related matters. Such charges reported within discontinued operations amounted to €47 million in the current quarter and to €104 million in the first half of fiscal 2011. See also “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
     At the beginning of January 2011 the sale of Siemens’ electronics assembly systems business, reported within Centrally managed portfolio activities, to ASM Pacific Technology Ltd. was closed.
     In January 2011, the sale of the 49% interest in KMW to the Wegmann Group was closed after approval by the antitrust authorities and receipt of the second purchase price installment. The gain on the sale of KMW, which is reported in Equity Investments amounts to €91 million.
     In January 2011, Siemens made a binding offer to purchase additional shares in order to increase its stake in its publicly listed Indian subsidiary Siemens Ltd. from about 55% to a maximum of 75%. Siemens offered the shareholders of Siemens Ltd. to purchase their shares for a price of INR 930 per share (written put). The offer period began on March 25, 2011 and ended on April 13, 2011. The offer was accepted in full until that date and the transaction was completed at the end of April 2011, resulting in a cash outflow of €968 million paid after the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
     In February 2011, Siemens signed an agreement to acquire a controlling interest of 100% in Siteco Lighting GmbH (Siteco) in a share deal transaction. Siteco is a leading European lighting company that supplies luminaires and lighting systems for urban infrastructures such as public and commercial buildings, streets, tunnels, airports and sports stadiums. Pending certain closing conditions, including the approval by the relevant antitrust authorities, closing of the transaction is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Siteco will be integrated into OSRAM, now presented as discontinued operations.
     In March 2011, an independent expert, appointed by Siemens and Areva based on the rules set forth in the shareholders’ agreement, determined the fair market value (purchase price) of Siemens’ 34% share in the joint venture Areva NP at €1.620 billion upon which Siemens received a payment of €1.747 billion from Areva. In addition to the externally determined fair market value, the sale proceeds include other adjusting components based on the shareholders’ agreement and further contractual arrangements between Siemens and Areva, namely interest accretion on the purchase price and a reimbursement of a mandatory capital injection from Areva to Siemens. Following the receipt of the expert opinion and the payment, our shares, previously accounted for as available-for-sale financial asset held for disposal at Energy Sector, were transferred to Areva and derecognized at Siemens. Ongoing arbitration proceedings between Siemens and Areva will decide, among others, on the possibility of a payment between the parties of up to 40% of the purchase price. A decision by the arbitral tribunal is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and could have a material impact on profit. For further information on arbitration proceedings see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report for fiscal 2010.

     At the end of March 2011, Siemens announced that it plans to publicly list its subsidiary OSRAM GmbH in fall 2011. Siemens intends to retain a minority stake in the future OSRAM AG, in which it intends to remain a long-term anchor shareholder.
     Siemens completed certain other portfolio transactions during the first six months of fiscal 2011, which did not have a significant effect on our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information on acquisitions and dispositions, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”

     Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, results for the Industry Sector no longer include OSRAM, which is classified as discontinued operation in connection with Siemens’ plans for a public offering of OSRAM shares in fall 2011. Prior-period results for the Sector are presented on a comparable basis.
     Profit, revenue and orders for the Sector all rose compared to the second quarter a year ago, on continued strong execution in an improved market environment. Profit climbed to €824 million on strong earnings increases at Industry Automation and Drive Technologies. With profit and growth momentum restored following the downturn, the Sector invested further in innovation and enhanced its regional footprint by adding sales resources as previously announced. For comparison, profit of €567 million in the prior-year period included charges of €63 million related to a project engagement with a local partner in the U.S., €50 million for staff reduction measures and a provision for a supplier-related warranty, which were partly offset by €53 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned earlier.
     Second-quarter orders rose 22% on double-digit growth at all Divisions and in all three reporting regions. Revenue increased 9%, with growth in all regions. The Sector’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.07 and its order backlog was €29 billion at the end of the quarter.

     Second-quarter profit at Industry Automation was €306 million, up 60% year-over-year. Revenue growth drove high capacity utilization and also included a more favorable business mix, compared to the prior-year quarter. Revenue and orders both rose 23%, led by strong growth in the Asia, Australia region. Emerging markets, particularly China, grew even faster than revenue and orders overall. Purchase price allocation (PPA) effects related to the fiscal 2007 acquisition of UGS Corp. were €35 million in the current period, compared to €34 million a year earlier.
     Drive Technologies delivered sharply higher second-quarter profit of €259 million year-over-year, due to a 22% rise in revenue that increased capacity utilization. Higher revenue and profit were most evident in the Division’s short cycle business. New orders for the Division climbed 25%. Both revenue and orders rose in all three regions as market conditions continued to improve.
     Profit at Building Technologies was €84 million in the second quarter, below the prior-period level due to higher marketing and selling expenses associated with growth. Profit in the prior-year period included the supplier-related warranty, which was largely offset by a portion of €24 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. Revenue rose 8% and orders climbed 11% compared to the prior-year period, with increases in all three reporting regions and strong demand for the Division’s energy efficiency solutions.
     Industry Solutions contributed second-quarter profit of €64 million. For comparison, the Division’s loss in the prior-year period included the charges related to a project engagement with a local partner in the U.S. mentioned above and €38 million in charges for staff reduction measures. Second-quarter revenue came in 4% lower year-over-year, due to low order intake in prior periods. Orders rose 10%, due primarily to higher orders in the metals technologies business compared to the second quarter a year ago.
     Mobility delivered €106 million in profit in the second quarter. A year earlier, profit of €114 million benefited from a portion of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. Orders rose 27% for the quarter, due primarily to a low basis of comparison in the prior-year period. The low level of orders in prior periods also influenced revenue in the current period, which came in 5% below the level a year earlier.

     Industry increased its profit for the first half of fiscal 2011 to €1.704 billion from €1.264 billion in the same period a year earlier. All Divisions except Mobility contributed to the increase. For comparison, Mobility’s profit in the prior-year period benefited from a €44 million net gain on the sale of its airfield solutions business. Industry Automation and Drive Technologies were the primary earnings contributors, both posting sharply higher profit on increased capacity utilization. Sector profit for the current six months was burdened by €128 million of a special remuneration allocation (for further information see “Reconciliation to consolidated financial statements — Corporate items and pensions”). In the same period a year earlier, burdens on profit included the above-mentioned charges of €63 million related to a project engagement with a local partner in the U.S., €50 million for staff reduction measures and a provision for a supplier-related warranty, only partly offset by €53 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned earlier as well as the gain on the sale of Mobility’s airfield solutions business mentioned before.

     Revenue and orders for the Sector increased by 11% and 23%, respectively. The growth was driven mainly by the Industry Automation and Drive Technologies Divisions, which saw improved market conditions compared to the prior-year period. While orders rose in all Divisions, revenue at Industry Solutions and Mobility came in slightly below the prior-year level. On a geographical basis, revenue and orders climbed in all regions with the highest growth rates in the Asia, Australia region.

     For the first six month of fiscal 2011, profit at Industry Automation rose substantially year-over-year to €670 million on a higher capacity utilization and an improved business mix. Revenue rose 26% and orders grew 28% year-over-year on double-digit increases in all businesses and regions. Growth rates in emerging markets exceeded growth rates for volume overall. PPA effects related to the acquisition of UGS Corp. were €70 million in the current period, compared to €66 million in the first six months of the prior fiscal year.
     Orders and revenue at Drive Technologies increased in all three regions on improved market conditions. Orders at Drive Technologies for the first six months climbed 39% compared to the prior year including higher volume from large orders and revenue increased by 22% year-over-year. Higher capacity utilization led to sharply higher profit compared to the first six months a year earlier.
     Building Technologies increased its first-half profit to €200 million despite increased marketing and selling expenses associated with growth. Demand for energy efficiency solutions drove first-half orders up 12% year-over-year, including double-digit growth in all regions, and took revenue up 11%. For comparison, first-half profit of €187 million a year earlier included a charge for the supplier-related warranty mentioned above, largely offset by a portion of €24 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above.

Table of Contents

     Orders at Industry Solutions grew 7% in the first six months on higher orders in the metals technologies business including strong demand in the Americas. Revenue declined 4% year-over-year, as lower revenue in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East more than offset higher revenue in other regions. Profit for Industry Solutions was €112 million in the current period, compared to €58 million in the first half a year earlier, when the Division took the above-mentioned €63 million in charges related to a project engagement with a local partner in the U.S. and €38 million in charges for staff reduction measures.
     Mobility posted profit of €222 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011. For comparison, profit of €267 million in the prior-year period benefited from the €44 million net gain on the sale of the airfield solutions business and from a portion of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. First-half orders for the Division increased by 25% year-over-year on higher volume from large orders, which included a major order for high-speed trains in the U.K. Revenue came in near the level of the prior-year period.

     The Energy Sector delivered strong operating results in the second quarter, and also recorded the €1.520 billion Areva NP disposal gain at Fossil Power Generation mentioned earlier. Profit overall was €2.421 billion, with Fossil Power Generation again leading all Siemens Divisions in earnings contribution. Sector profit for the quarter includes higher expenses for R&D, marketing and selling associated with growth. Energy also recorded charges associated with proactively optimizing capacities within its global footprint. For comparison, Sector profit in the prior-year period was burdened by charges for capacity adjustments related to a shift of production capacity within the Americas, partly offset by the €25 million pension curtailment gain mentioned earlier.
     All Divisions posted higher revenue and orders compared to the same quarter a year ago. Sector revenue came in 8% higher year-over-year, as Energy continued to execute well in converting its large order backlog into current business. Orders jumped 51% compared to the prior-year quarter, to a new high of €9.205 billion. Higher orders in all regions were highlighted by a particularly large order in Saudi Arabia and three large offshore wind-farms in Germany. Energy expects the pace of order intake to slow in coming quarters following three consecutive quarters of particularly high market demand. The book-to-bill ratio in the current period was 1.37, and the Sector’s order backlog increased to €57 billion, compared to €56 billion at the end of the first quarter in fiscal 2011.

     Fossil Power Generation continued its strong execution and earnings performance, and also recorded a €1.520 billion gain on the divestment of its stake in Areva NP. These factors combined to lift profit to €2.049 billion for the quarter. The Division’s operating results rose to a high level due in part to a favorable business mix, including conversion of high-margin component orders from prior periods. Furthermore, the Division’s service business made an especially strong contribution in the quarter. These factors more than offset €87 million charges related to the Olkiluoto project in Finland. The prior-year period was burdened by €59 million in charges for capacity adjustments related to a shift of production capacity within the Americas region. Second-quarter revenue rose 4% compared to the same period a year earlier, including strong growth in the Americas. Fossil Power Generation recorded a higher volume from large orders compared to the prior-year period, particularly including a large order for a combined-cycle power plant in Saudi Arabia. For further information regarding ongoing arbitration proceedings between Siemens and Areva refer to “Legal Proceedings” in our Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010. For further information regarding the Olkiluoto project refer to “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” within this report.
     Renewable Energy won new contracts for offshore wind-farms in Germany which took orders up substantially compared to the second quarter a year ago, which included significantly lower volume from large orders. The Division reported revenue 8% above the prior-year period, continuing its growth trend. Second-quarter profit came in lower year-over-year mainly due to higher expenses for R&D, marketing and selling associated with the ongoing expansion of the wind business in emerging markets. In addition, current period profit for the Division was impacted by substantial expenses associated with the ongoing development of our solar business.
     Oil & Gas contributed €125 million to Sector profit in the second quarter. Orders climbed 18% compared to the prior-year period, including strong growth in emerging markets. Revenue grew 15%, including high double-digit increases in Asia, Australia and the Americas.
     Second-quarter orders at Power Transmission climbed 43%, driven in part by a large order for connecting offshore wind-farms to regional power grids. Revenue rose 14%, mainly driven by strong project execution in the solutions business. Profit of €142 million was held back by €41 million charges, including for staff reduction measures, associated with optimizing the Division’s global manufacturing footprint.
     Power Distribution generated 7% revenue growth. Second-quarter orders were up slightly year-over-year, as double-digit growth in Asia, Australia offset declines in other regions. Profit of €54 million was held back by higher expenses year-over-year for marketing and selling as well as R&D associated with ongoing activities related to new technologies such as smart grids.

     Fossil Power Generation recorded substantially higher first-half profit year-over-year, benefiting from the Areva NP disposal gain of €1.520 billion as mentioned above. Profit in the current period benefited from a favorable revenue mix including conversion of high-margin component orders from prior periods, a strong contribution from the service business as well as positive effects related to project developments. Profit for the Division was burdened by project charges of €87 million as mentioned earlier for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Profit in the prior-year period was impacted by €59 million charges for capacity adjustments related to a shift of production capacity within the Americas region. The Division reported a substantially higher volume of large orders in the first six months, which took orders up sharply to €7.122 billion. High double-digit growth in all regions was driven by Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and the large order for a combined-cycle power plant in Saudi Arabia as mentioned earlier. First-half revenue rose 6% compared to the prior-year period. An increase in revenue in the Americas more than offset a decline in other regions.
     Orders for the first six months at Renewable Energy climbed 32%, including a substantially higher volume of large orders compared to the same period a year earlier. Orders more than doubled in emerging markets. The Division posted a strong rise in revenue, to €1.799 billion, on conversion of large orders from prior periods. First-half profit was €84 million, lower year-over-year due mainly to higher expenses for R&D, marketing and selling associated with the ongoing expansion of the Division’s wind business in emerging markets. In addition, first-half profit for the Division was impacted by substantial expenses associated with the ongoing development of our solar business.
     Oil & Gas contributed €234 million to Sector profit for the first six months. Orders and revenue for the Division climbed 26% and 11%, respectively, including growth in emerging markets. The increase in first-half revenue was led by the Asia, Australia region.
     Orders at Power Transmission climbed 27%, including double-digit increases in all regions compared to the prior-year period. Revenue rose 11%, including double-digit increases in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and the Americas. First-half profit was €276 million, lower year-over-year due to higher marketing and selling expenses associated with growth, pricing pressure, and charges, including for staff reduction measures, associated with optimizing the Division’s global manufacturing footprint.
     Power Distribution generated 5% order growth and 8% revenue growth compared to the first six months a year earlier. While order growth was mainly driven by Asia, Australia, revenue growth was led by Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. First-half profit for the Division was €130 million, held back by higher expenses year-over-year for marketing and selling as well as R&D associated with expanding activities related to new technologies such as smart grids.

     Healthcare contributed Sector profit of €450 million in the second quarter. For comparison, profit of €469 million in the prior-year period included €79 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned earlier. Profit development was due to good earnings conversion.
     Second-quarter profit at Diagnostics was €86 million, compared to €109 million in the second quarter a year earlier. The current quarter included a less favorable business mix than a year earlier, when profit also benefited from €22 million of the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. PPA effects related to past acquisitions at Diagnostics were €42 million compared to €44 million in the second quarter a year earlier.
     Healthcare revenue rose 5%, led by strong revenue growth at its imaging and therapy systems businesses. Order growth of 6% included higher orders in all businesses compared to the same period a year earlier. On a regional basis, Asia, Australia posted double-digit increases in both revenue and orders highlighted by strong increases in China. The Americas region delivered solid growth in both revenue and orders. Healthcare’s book-to bill ratio was 1.00 for the quarter, and its order backlog remained at €7 billion compared to the previous quarter.
     Diagnostics posted revenue of €924 million and orders of €918 million, up from €901 million and €900 million in the prior-year quarter, respectively, due primarily to growth in the region Asia, Australia.

For the first six months of fiscal 2011 the Healthcare Sector posted a profit of €832 million, down from €967 million in the prior-year period. First-half profit was burdened by profit impacts in the first quarter, including the Sector’s portion of the special employee remuneration allocation mentioned earlier, charges stemming from increased cost estimates for completing particle therapy contracts and a reserve related to a customer loan and receivables in the audiology business. For comparison, first-half profit in the prior year benefited from the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. On an operating basis, the current six months profited from a good earnings conversion in the second quarter.
Due in part to a less favorable business mix, first-half profit at Diagnostics was €164 million, below €223 million in the prior-year period which benefited from the pension curtailment gain mentioned above. In the current six months, PPA effects related to past acquisitions were €86 million. A year earlier, PPA effects in the first half totaled €85 million.
Orders for Healthcare came in 8% higher compared to the prior-year period, with contributions from all businesses and double-digit growth in the regions Asia, Australia and Americas. First-half revenue for the Sector was up 8%, due primarily to double-digit growth in the Sector’s imaging and therapy businesses.

Double-digit growth in the region Asia, Australia was highlighted by a strong increase in China. Orders and revenue for Healthcare in the first six months benefited from positive currency translation effects, primarily in the first quarter. On an organic basis, Sector volume growth was 3% for both orders and revenue. Healthcare’s book-to-bill ratio was slightly above 1 in the first six months of fiscal 2011.
Diagnostics posted 6% growth in both orders and revenue compared to the first half a year ago, due primarily to increases in the region Asia, Australia and significant positive currency effects.

     Financial Services (SFS) delivered €114 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 in profit (defined as income before income taxes) and continued to benefit from low credit hits.
     Financial Services raised its profit in the first half of fiscal 2011 to €216 million from €196 million in the prior-year period. The current period benefited from higher interest results and also from lower credit hits. Total assets remained nearly unchanged at €12.475 billion. An increase in assets due to growth in the commercial finance business was offset primarily by negative currency translation effects.
     In December 2010, Siemens received authorization from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht — BaFin) to engage in banking operations. The Siemens Bank GmbH will support sales at the company’s three Sectors — Industry, Energy and Healthcare — by expanding, with loans and guarantees, the product portfolio of Siemens’ financial services unit in the area of sales financing, in particular. Through wholesale deposit banking activities the bank will also increase the flexibility of Siemens’ internal financing operations and further improve risk management.
Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements
     Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements includes Centrally managed portfolio activities, SRE and various categories of items which are not allocated to the Sectors and to our Cross-Sector Business SFS because Management has determined that such items are not indicative of the Sectors’ and Cross-Sector Business’ respective performance.
Centrally managed portfolio activities
     Centrally managed portfolio activities posted a profit of €9 million in the second quarter, compared to a loss of €24 million in the prior-year period. The second quarter a year earlier included a loss of €22 million related to the electronics assembly systems business which was sold during the current period. Certain business activities of the Siemens IT Solutions and Services business, including the project HERKULES, are not classified as discontinued operations and therefore are retrospectively reclassified to Centrally managed portfolio activities.

27


Table of Contents

     For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the result of Centrally managed portfolio activities was a positive €8 million, up from a negative €34 million a year earlier. The difference is due mainly to the electronics assembly systems business. In the current period, a loss on the disposal was more than offset by a positive result from operating activities, compared to a net loss of €36 million in the prior-year period.
Siemens Real Estate
     Income before income taxes at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) was €1 million in the second quarter, down from €107 million in the same period a year earlier which had included substantially higher income related to the disposal of real estate. During the current quarter, assets with a book value of €63 million were transferred to SRE as part of Siemens’ program to bundle its real estate assets into SRE and to implement further measures to increase the efficiency of these assets. For comparison, during the prior-year period assets with a book value of €194 million were transferred to SRE as part of the program.
     Income before income taxes at SRE for the first six months was €98 million, down from €167 million in the prior-year period. The change year-over-year was mainly due to lower income related to the disposal of real estate in the current period. During the first six months of fiscal 2011, assets with a book value of €413 million were transferred as part of the ongoing bundling program, compared to assets with a book value of €449 million a year earlier. SRE expects to incur costs associated with the program in coming quarters, and to continue with real estate disposals depending on market conditions.
Corporate items and pensions
     Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative €62 million in the second quarter, compared to a positive €30 million in the same period a year earlier.
     This change was driven by Corporate items, which were a negative €81 million compared to a positive €76 million in the prior-year period. The prior-year period benefited from gains in connection with compliance-related matters, including a gain of €96 million, net of related costs, resulting from an agreement with the provider of the Siemens’ directors and officers liability insurance and settlements with former members of Siemens’ Managing Board and Supervisory Board, as well as a gain of €38 million related to the agreed recovery of funds frozen by authorities. The current period included net charges related to legal and regulatory matters. Results related to a major asset retirement obligation swung from a net loss in the prior-year period to a net gain in the current period.
     Centrally carried pension expenses totaled a positive €19 million in the second quarter, compared to a negative €46 million in the prior-year period. The change is due primarily to a positive effect resulting from lower interest costs and a higher expected return on plan assets.
     For the first six months of fiscal 2011, Corporate items and pensions totaled a positive €198 million, compared to a negative €79 million in the prior-year period. Corporate items contributed €151 million in the current period, up from a €20 million in the prior-year period. The current period benefited from management’s allocation of a substantial part of the €267 million in special employee remuneration that was accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Within this part is the €240 million that was debited to the Sectors for management reporting purposes; charges were made to Industry of €128 million, to Energy of €69 million and to Healthcare of €43 million. While the current six-months period included net charges related to legal and regulatory matters, the prior-year period benefited from gains in connection with compliance-related matters, as described earlier.
     Centrally carried pension expenses totaled a positive €47 million in the first six months, compared to a negative €99 million in the prior-year period. The change is due primarily to a positive effect resulting from lower interest costs and a higher expected return on plan assets.

Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items
     Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items was a negative €43 million in the second quarter, compared to a negative €33 million in the same period a year earlier. The primary factor in the decline was Corporate Treasury activities, particularly including changes in the fair market value of interest rate and foreign currency derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting. This decline was partly offset by positive effects related to the divestment of financial assets.
     Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items was a negative €75 million in the first half, compared to a negative €44 million in the same period a year earlier. The primary factor in the decline was related to Corporate Treasury activities, particularly due to changes in the fair market value of interest rate derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.

Liquidity, capital resources and requirements
Cash flow — First six months of fiscal 2011 compared to first six months of fiscal 2010
     The following discussion presents an analysis of our cash flows for the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 for both continuing and discontinued operations. In the periods under review discontinued operations include primarily OSRAM and Siemens IT Solutions and Services, which were classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.
     We report Free cash flow as a supplemental liquidity measure, 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 that the presentation of Free cash flow provides useful information to investors because it gives an indication of the long-term cash-generating ability of our business and our ability 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. Free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures of cash flow calculated in accordance with IFRS. For further information about the usefulness and limitations of this measure please refer to the last page of this Interim group management report.

(1)   For information regarding the item Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities please refer to the discussion below.
 
(2)   The closest comparable financial measure of Free cash flow under IFRS is the item 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 in our “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.” The item Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment from continuing operations is reconciled to the figures as reported in the “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow” in the “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.” Other companies that report Free cash flow may define and calculate this measure differently.
     Cash flows from operating activities Operating activities in continuing and discontinued operations provided net cash of €1.878 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash provided of €2.744 billion in the prior-year period.
     Within the total, continuing operations provided net cash of €2.175 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash provided of €2.743 billion in the same period a year earlier. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was due primarily to an increased build-up of net working capital in all Sectors associated with broad-based growth. This negative change of net working capital primarily included an increased build-up in inventories and lower billings in excess of costs mainly in the Energy Sector as well as higher cash outflows in connection with personnel-related expenses comprising the previously disclosed special remuneration for non-management employees. For comparison, the prior-year six-month period included cash outflows related to trade payables and higher cash outflows related to staff reduction measures. The negative change in net working capital was partly offset by cash inflows driven by an increase in income from continuing operations supported by strong Sectors’ operating performance.
     Discontinued operations used net cash of €297 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash provided of €1 million in the prior-year period. The current period includes cash outflows related to establishing Siemens IT Solutions and Services as a separate legal group, including for carve-out activities and personnel-related matters.
     Cash flows from investing activities — Investing activities in continuing and discontinued operations provided net cash of €1.034 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash used of €1.144 billion in the prior-year period.

Table of Contents

     Within the total, net cash provided in investing activities for continuing operations amounted to €1.287 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011 compared to net cash used of €994 million in the prior-year period. The cash inflows in the current six months are due mainly to higher proceeds from sales of investments, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, which rose to €2.537 billion from €166 million in the prior-year period. These cash inflows in the first half of fiscal 2011 included €2.215 billion for the sale of investments primarily related to the proceeds from the sale of our stake in Areva NP of €1.7 billion as well as the proceeds from the sale of our 49% minority stake in Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG. Cash inflows for the current six-month period also included payments of €299 million from real estate disposals at SRE. In contrast, cash outflows of €169 million for the increase in receivables from financing activities relate to the net growth in the commercial finance business at SFS, compared to cash inflows of €111 million in the prior-year period. Cash outflows for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of €166 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011 relate primarily to acquisitions of entities within the Industry Sector. For comparison, the prior-year period included cash outflows of €428 million including €0.3 billion for the acquisition of Solel Solar Systems, a solar thermal power technology company. Purchases of investments in the first half of fiscal 2011 primarily include cash outflows relating to the build-up of our solar thermal business and the first installment payment for our equity investment in A2SEA A/S, a supplier of offshore wind park installation services.
     Discontinued operations used net cash of €253 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash used of €150 million in the prior-year period primarily for capital expenditures.
     Free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations amounted to a positive €866 million in the first half of fiscal 2011 compared to a positive €1.929 billion in the prior-year period.
     Total Free cash flow from continuing operations amounted to a positive €1.413 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to a positive €2.024 billion a year earlier. The change year-over-year was due primarily to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities as discussed above. Cash used for additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment increased from €719 million in the prior-year period to €762 million in the first six months of fiscal 2011, primarily due to increased capital expenditures in the Industry Sector.
     On a sequential basis Free cash flow during fiscal 2010 and the first half of fiscal 2011 was as follows:
     (LINE GRAPH)
     Cash flows from financing activities — Financing activities from continuing and discontinued operations used net cash of €2.079 billion in the first half of fiscal 2011, compared to €2.139 billion of net cash used in the prior-year period.
     Within the total, continuing operations used net cash of €2.629 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2011, compared to net cash used of €2.288 billion in the same period a year earlier. The increase in cash outflows was due primarily to the increase in dividends paid to shareholders (for fiscal 2010) in the current six months period of €2.356 billion, compared to €1.388 billion paid (for fiscal 2009) in the prior-year period. These cash outflows were partly offset by cash inflows from changes in short-term debt and other financing activities of €291 million, due mainly to loans from banks. For comparison cash outflows of €522 million in the prior-year period included the repayment of commercial paper. The current period included also proceeds from the issuance of a long-term USD200 million bank loan.

Table of Contents

     In the first half of fiscal 2011 we recorded cash outflows of €534 million for financing of discontinued operations, compared to cash outflows of €149 million in the same period a year earlier. Discontinued operations are financed principally from Corporate Treasury. The item Financing discontinued operations includes these intercompany financing transactions.
Capital resources and requirements
     Our capital resources consist of a variety of short- and long-term financial instruments including but not limited to 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.
     Our capital requirements include, among others, scheduled debt service, regular capital spending, ongoing cash requirements from operating, Corporate Treasury and SFS financing activities, dividend payments, pension plan funding including funding requirements related to our discontinued operations, portfolio activities and cash outflows in connection with restructuring measures. The cash requirements from portfolio activities comprise the funding requirements related to our binding offer to purchase additional shares in order to increase our stake in the publicly listed Indian subsidiary Siemens Ltd. from about 55% to a maximum of 75% (for more information see “Portfolio activities”).
     Siemens defines Net debt as total debt less total liquidity. Management uses the Net debt measure for internal corporate finance management, as well as for external communication with investors, analysts and rating agencies, and accordingly we believe that the presentation of Net debt is useful for those concerned. Net debt should not, however, be considered in isolation or as an alternative to short-term debt and long-term debt as presented in accordance with IFRS.
     A key consideration for us is maintenance of ready access to the capital markets through various debt products and preservation of our ability to repay and service our debt obligation over time. As an indicator for optimizing our capital structure, we use the ratio of the item Adjusted industrial net debt to the item Adjusted EBITDA. Starting in fiscal 2011 we have advanced the definition of this ratio and present prior-year information on a comparable basis.
     For further information on our capital resources and requirements as well as on our capital structure see “Financial position — Capital resources and requirements,” “Financial position — Capital Structure” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report for fiscal 2010. For further information about the usefulness and limitations of Net debt and relating to the ratio of the item Adjusted industrial net debt to the item Adjusted EBITDA and its advanced definition please refer to “Additional information for supplemental financial measures” in our Annual Report for fiscal 2010 and the last page of this Interim group management report.

(2)   We typically need a considerable portion of our cash and cash equivalents as well as current available-for-sale financial assets at any given time for purposes other than debt reduction. The deduction of these items from total debt in the calculation of Net debt therefore should not be understood to mean that these items are available exclusively for debt reduction at any given time. Net debt comprises components as stated on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
 
(3)   The adjustment for our hybrid bond considers the calculation of this financial ratio applied by rating agencies to classify 50% of our hybrid bond as equity and 50% as debt. This assignment reflects the characteristics of our hybrid bond such as a long maturity date and subordination to all senior and debt obligations.
 
(4)   Debt is generally reported with a value representing approximately the amount to be repaid. However for debt designated in a hedging relationship (fair value hedges), this amount is adjusted by changes in market value mainly due to changes in interest rates. Accordingly we deduct these changes in market value in order to end up with an amount of debt that approximately will be repaid. We believe, this is a more meaningful figure for the calculation presented above. For further information on fair value hedges see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report for fiscal 2010.

     The following discussion presents an analysis of changes in the item Adjusted industrial net debt in the first six months of fiscal 2011.
     Net debt was €3.810 billion as of March 31, 2011, compared to €5.560 billion as of September 30, 2010. Within Net debt, the item Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt increased by €2.600 billion compared to the end of the prior fiscal year, due mainly to the reclassification of €1.550 billion in 5.25% medium-term notes, USD500 million in floating rate notes (USD LIBOR + 0.15%) and USD750 million in 5.5% notes from the item Long-term debt to the item Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt. Long-term debt decreased by €3.301 billion compared to the end of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the above-mentioned reclassification of notes, a lower fair value hedge accounting adjustment and currency translation effects partly offset by a loan from a bank. Current available-for-sale financial assets increased from €246 million as of September 30, 2010 to €430 million as of March 31, 2011 due primarily to the reclassification of funds. For further information regarding the increase in the item Cash and cash equivalents please refer to “Cash flow — First six months of fiscal 2011 compared to first six months of fiscal 2010” above. For further information on the decrease in the liability for pension plans and similar commitments see “Funding of pension plans and similar commitments.”
     The ratio of the item Adjusted industrial net debt to the item Adjusted EBITDA for the three and the six months ended March 31, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was as follows:

Credit ratings
     On April 18, 2011, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) revised its outlook for Siemens’ credit rating from “stable” to “positive.” A rating outlook indicates the potential direction of a long-term credit rating over the medium-term. At the same time, S&P affirmed our “A+” long-term credit rating and raised our short-term corporate credit rating from “A-1” to “A-1+.” This is the highest short-term rating within the S&P’s short-term rating scale. S&P announced that the rating action reflects Siemens’ solid operating and financial performance throughout the 2008 to 2010 global financial and economic downturn. The upgrade of our short-term rating is based on S&P’s assessment of Siemens’ liquidity.
     Moody’s Investor Service made no rating changes.
     We expect no significant impact on our funding costs as a consequence of the revised rating outlook or the upgrade of our short-term rating by S&P.
Funding of pension plans and similar commitments
     Funded status, pension plan assets and defined benefit obligation of Siemens’ pension plans as well as funded status of Siemens’ predominantly unfunded other post-employment benefit plans presented below include combined amounts related to continuing operations as well as discontinued operations for Siemens IT Solutions and Services and for OSRAM. For more information on Siemens’ pension plans and similar commitments and the allocation between continuing and discontinued operations of the respective net amounts, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
     At the end of the first six months of fiscal 2011, the combined funded status of Siemens’ pension plans showed an underfunding of €5.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of €7.4 billion at the end of fiscal 2010. The improvement in funded status since September 30, 2010 is due to a decrease in Siemens’ defined benefit obligation (DBO), which was only partly offset by a negative actual return on plan assets. The DBO decreased due to an increase in the discount rate assumption as of March 31, 2011, partly offset by accrued service and interest costs. The actual return on plan assets of Siemens’ funded pension plans for the first six months of fiscal 2011 amounted to a negative €405 million, compared to the expected return for the first six months of fiscal 2011 of €756 million, which represents an expected 6.4% annual return. While equity investments yielded positive results in the first six months, fixed-income investments performed negatively.
     The fair value of plan assets of Siemens’ funded pension plans as of March 31, 2011, was €23.4 billion, compared to €24.1 billion on September 30, 2010. In the first six months of fiscal 2011, employer contributions amounted to €561 million compared to €426 million in the prior-year period. Contributions in both fiscal 2011 and 2010 include a supplemental pension plan funding in the U.K. The decrease in plan assets was due mainly to benefits paid during the six-months period as well as due to the negative actual return on plan assets and currency translation effects.
     The estimated DBO for Siemens’ pension plans amounted to €28.7 billion as of March 31, 2011, €2.8 billion lower than the DBO of €31.5 billion as of September 30, 2010. The change is due to a significant increase in the discount rate assumption as of March 31, 2011, only slightly offset by the net of service and interest cost less benefits paid during the six-month period ended March 31, 2011.
     The combined funded status of Siemens’ predominantly unfunded other post-employment benefit plans amounted to an underfunding of €0.8 billion, both at the end of the first six months of fiscal 2011 and as of September 30, 2010.

Report on risks and opportunities
     Within the scope of its entrepreneurial activities and the variety of its operations, Siemens encounters numerous risks and opportunities which could negatively or positively affect business development. For the early recognition and successful management of relevant risks and opportunities we employ a number of coordinated risk management and control systems. Risk management facilitates the sustainable protection of our future corporate success and is an integral part of all our decisions and business processes.
     In our Annual Report for fiscal 2010 we described certain risks which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, including effects on assets, liabilities and cash flows, and results of operations, certain opportunities as well as the design of our risk management system.
     As previously disclosed, we may be exposed to risks relating to the interruption of the supply chain, including the inability of third parties to deliver parts, components and services on time, and may be subject to rising raw material prices. In particular, we may be exposed to the risk of delays and interruptions of the supply chain as a consequence of natural disasters, such as those which have recently occurred in Japan, should we be unable to identify alternative sources of supply in a timely manner or at all. A general shortage of materials, components or sub-components as a result of natural disasters also bears the risk of unforeseeable fluctuations in prices and demand, which might adversely affect our results of operations.
     Furthermore we have previously disclosed that our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by portfolio measures. With respect to dispositions, we may not be able to divest some of our activities as planned, and the divestitures we do carry out could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and, potentially, our reputation. For information on portfolio measures see “Portfolio activities.”
     During the first six months of fiscal 2011 we identified no further significant risks and opportunities besides those presented in our Annual Report for fiscal 2010 and in the sections of this Interim Report entitled “Overview of financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 (Three months ended March 31, 2011),” “Segment information analysis,” and “Legal proceedings.” 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 our business.
     For information concerning forward-looking statements and additional information, please also refer to the end of this Interim group management report.

Legal proceedings
     For information on legal proceedings, see “Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Outlook for fiscal 2011
     We expect organic order intake to show a significant increase compared to order intake of €74.055 billion for continuing operations in fiscal 2010. Supported also by our already strong order backlog, we expect revenue, which was €68.978 billion for continuing operations in fiscal 2010, to return to mid-single-digit organic growth. We further anticipate income from continuing operations to be at least €7.5 billion. Income from continuing operations in fiscal 2010 was €4.262 billion.
     For fiscal 2010, orders, revenue and income from continuing operations exclude results from OSRAM and Siemens IT Solutions and Services which are reported as discontinued operations in fiscal 2011.
     This outlook excludes effects that may arise from legal and regulatory matters, among others possible effects from an ongoing arbitration proceeding between Siemens and Areva S.A.

These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to measures of Siemens’ financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as presented in accordance with IFRS in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled financial measures may calculate them differently. Definitions of these supplemental financial measures, a discussion of the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, information regarding the usefulness of Siemens’ supplemental financial measures, the limitations associated with these measures and reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are available on Siemens’ Investor Relations website at www.siemens.com/nonGAAP.

     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. In particular, Siemens is strongly affected by changes in general economic and business conditions as these directly impact its processes, customers and suppliers. This may negatively impact our revenue development and the realization of greater capacity utilization as a result of growth. Yet due to their diversity, not all of Siemens’ businesses are equally affected by changes in economic conditions; considerable differences exist in the timing and magnitude of the effects of such changes. This effect is amplified by the fact that, as a global company, Siemens is active in countries with economies that vary widely in terms of growth rate. Uncertainties arise from, among other things, the risk of customers delaying the conversion of recognized orders into revenue or cancelling recognized orders, of prices declining as a result of adverse market conditions by more than is currently anticipated by Siemens’ management or of functional costs increasing in anticipation of growth that is not realized as expected. Other factors that may cause Siemens’ results to deviate from expectations include developments in the financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and exchange rates (in particular in relation to the U.S. dollar and the currencies of emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil), in commodity and equity prices, in debt prices (credit spreads) and in the value of financial assets generally. Any changes in interest rates or other assumptions used in calculating obligations for pension plans and similar commitments may impact Siemens’ defined benefit obligations and the anticipated performance of pension plan assets resulting in unexpected changes in the funded status of Siemens’ pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Any increase in market volatility, deterioration in the capital markets, decline in the conditions for the credit business, uncertainty related to the subprime, financial market and liquidity crises, or fluctuations in the future financial performance of the major industries served by Siemens may have unexpected effects on Siemens’ results. Furthermore, Siemens faces risks and uncertainties in connection with: disposing of business activities, certain strategic reorientation measures; the performance of its equity interests and strategic alliances; the challenge of integrating major acquisitions, implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; the introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies or market entries by new competitors; changing competitive dynamics (particularly in developing markets); the risk that new products or services will not be accepted by customers targeted by Siemens; changes in business strategy; the interruption of our supply chain, including the inability of third parties to deliver parts, components and services on time resulting for example from natural disasters; the outcome of pending investigations, legal proceedings and actions resulting from the findings of, or related to the subject matter of, such investigations; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on Siemens’ business, including its relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on Siemens’ financial statements, and 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 neither intends to, nor assumes any obligation to, update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

SIEMENS
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
1. Basis of presentation
     The accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Interim Consolidated Financial Statements) present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries (the Company or Siemens). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
     Siemens prepares and reports its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in euros (€). Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a balanced business portfolio of activities predominantly in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering.
     Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of March 31, 2011, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the explanatory Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are condensed and prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and shall be read in connection with Siemens’ Annual IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010 (Consolidated Financial Statements). The interim financial statements apply the same accounting principles and practices as those used in the 2010 annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of future results.
     The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Managing Board on May 5, 2011.
     Financial statement presentation—Information disclosed in the Notes relates to Siemens unless stated otherwise.
     Basis of consolidation—The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly controlled. Control is generally conveyed by ownership of the majority of voting rights. Additionally, the Company consolidates special purpose entities (SPEs) when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with Siemens, the Company concludes that it controls the SPE. To determine when the Company should consolidate based on substance, Siemens considers the circumstances listed in SIC-12.10 as additional indicators regarding a relationship in which Siemens controls an SPE. Siemens looks at these SIC-12.10 circumstances as indicators and always privileges an analysis of individual facts and circumstances on a case-by-case basis. 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 percent to 50 percent of the voting rights)—are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Companies in which Siemens has joint control are also accounted for under the equity method.
     Business combinations—Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured at the fair value of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination (including contingent liabilities) are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. Uniform accounting policies are applied. Any changes to contingent consideration classified as a liability at the acquisition date are recognized in profit and loss. 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. After initial recognition, non-controlling interests may show a deficit balance since both profits and losses are allocated to the shareholders based on their equity interests. In business combinations achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition date fair value. 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 re-measured to fair value.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     Discontinued operations and non-current assets held for disposal—Discontinued operations are reported when a component of an entity comprising operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity is classified as held for disposal or has been disposed of, if the component either (a) represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations and (b) is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or (c) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. In the Consolidated Statements of Income of the reporting period and of the comparable period, income and expenses from discontinued operations are reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow the cash flows from discontinued operations are presented separately from cash flows of continuing operations; prior periods are presented on a comparable basis. In order to present the financial effects of a discontinued operation revenues and expenses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated except for those revenues and expenses that are considered to continue after the disposal of the discontinued operation. In any case no profit or loss is recognized for intragroup transactions.
     Siemens classifies a non-current asset or a disposal group as held for disposal if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, the asset or disposal group must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups and its sale must be highly probable. Non-current assets classified as held for disposal and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
     Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements as well as reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Income taxes—In interim periods, tax expense is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate.
     Reclassifications—The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
     Recent accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted—In October 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which enhance the disclosure requirements, hence maintain the derecognition model of IAS 39. The amendments increase the disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets where the transferor retains continuing involvement in the transferred asset; additional disclosures are required if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period. The amendment is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011; early adoption is permitted. The Company expects no material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of adopting the amendment.
The IASB issued various other pronouncements, which do not have a material impact on Siemens’ Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Acquisitions, dispositions and discontinued operations
     a) Acquisitions
     In February 2011, Siemens signed an agreement to acquire a controlling interest of 100 percent in Siteco Lighting GmbH (Siteco) in a share deal transaction. Siteco is a leading European lighting company that supplies luminaries and lighting systems for urban infrastructures such as public and commercial buildings, streets, tunnels, airports and sports stadiums. Pending certain closing conditions, including the approval by the relevant antitrust authorities, closing of the transaction is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Siteco will be integrated into OSRAM, now presented in discontinued operations.
     In January 2011, Siemens made a binding offer to purchase additional shares in order to increase its stake in its publicly listed Indian subsidiary Siemens Ltd. from about 55 percent to a maximum of 75 percent. The Company offered the shareholders of Siemens Ltd. to purchase their shares for a price of INR 930 per share (written put). The offer period began on March 25, 2011 and ended on April 13, 2011. The offer was accepted in full until that date and the transaction was completed at the end of April 2011. At the date of public announcement, the purchase was accounted for as acquisition of non-controlling interests qualifying as a transaction between shareholders, as present ownership was transferred. As a result, line items Retained earnings and Non-controlling interests decreased by €850 and €121, respectively.

Transaction costs, net of tax, were deducted from equity. Other comprehensive income was proportionally reallocated between Non-controlling interests and Total equity attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG. The fair value of the consideration of €977 payable in cash is included in line item Other current financial liabilities as of March 31, 2011. Changes in the fair value of the payable impacting profit or loss relate to effects of accrued interest and foreign exchange movements.
     At the beginning of November 2009, Siemens completed the acquisition of 100 percent of Solel Solar Systems Ltd. (Solel), a solar thermal power technology company. The purchase price allocation (PPA) for the Solel acquisition has been completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 resulting in Goodwill of €193 based on the final PPA. The provisional numbers for the fair value measurement of intangible assets and for the purchase price have been confirmed. For further information on Solel, see Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010.
     b) Dispositions and discontinued operations
For further information on disposals prior to fiscal 2011 see also Note 4 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010.
          ba) Dispositions not qualifying for discontinued operations: closed transactions
     In March 2011, an independent expert, appointed by Siemens and Areva S.A. (Areva) based on the rules set forth in the shareholders’ agreement, determined the fair market value (purchase price) of Siemens’ 34 percent share in the joint venture Areva NP S.A.S. at €1,620 upon which Siemens received a payment of €1,747 from Areva. In addition to the externally determined fair market value, the sale proceeds include other adjusting components based on the shareholders’ agreement and further contractual arrangements between Siemens and Areva, namely interest accretion on the purchase price and a reimbursement of a mandatory capital injection from Areva to Siemens. Following the receipt of the expert opinion and the payment, our shares, previously accounted for as available-for-sale financial asset held for disposal at Sector Energy, were transferred to Areva and derecognized at Siemens.
     Ongoing arbitration proceedings between Siemens and Areva will decide, among others, on the possibility of a payment between the parties of up to 40 percent of the purchase price. A decision by the arbitral tribunal is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and could have a material impact on profit. For further information on the arbitration proceedings, see Note 30 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010.
     The earnings impact of the disposal of the 34 percent stake is included in line item Other financial income — see Note 5 for further information.
     In January 2011 the sale of the 49 percent interest in Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW) to Wegmann Group was closed after the approval of the antitrust authorities and the receipt of the second purchase price installment. The gain on the sale of KMW, which used to be reported in Equity Investments, is included in line item Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net and amounts to €91.
     At the end of July 2010, Siemens signed an agreement to sell its Electronics Assembly Systems Business (EA), which was reported in Centrally managed portfolio activities, to ASM Pacific Technology Ltd. The transaction closed at the beginning of January 2011. Total losses on disposal of EA amount to €122, including a gain of €4 and a loss of €16 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2011.
     In December 2010, Siemens completed the transfer of its 19.8 percent stake in GIG Holding GmbH (owner of all shares of Gigaset Communications GmbH) to ARQUES Industries AG.
     In the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, Siemens completed the disposition of further entities which are not significant individually.
     At the end of December 2009, Siemens sold its 25 percent minority stake in Dräger Medical AG & Co. KG to the majority shareholder Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA. The investment was accounted for using the equity method at the Healthcare Sector. The sale proceeds include a cash component, a vendor loan component and an option component, which is dependent on the share-price performance of the Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA.

     Siemens IT Solutions and Services — discontinued operations, assets and liabilities held for disposal
     In December 2010, Siemens and Atos Origin S.A. (Atos) signed an option agreement (written call option) which granted Atos the right to acquire Siemens IT Solutions and Services. In February 2011, Atos exercised its option to acquire Siemens IT Solutions and Services in exchange for 12.5 million newly issued shares in Atos with a five-year lock-up commitment, a five-year convertible bond of €250 (nominal value) and a cash payment of €186. The final value of the consideration will depend on the market price of the listed Atos shares and the bond value at closing. Furthermore, Siemens will provide extensive support in order to foster the Siemens IT Solutions and Services’ business success including, among others, up to €250 to the integration and training costs as well as further protections and guarantees. Related to the transaction is a seven-year outsourcing contract worth around €5.5 billion, under which Atos would provide managed services and system integration to Siemens. Clearance for the transaction was obtained by the antitrust authorities in March 2011. Pending approval from Atos’ shareholders, closing of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
     The conditions for Siemens IT Solutions and Services to be classified as held for disposal and discontinued operation were fulfilled as of the second quarter of fiscal 2011. For information on the held for disposal criteria, see Note 1.
     The results of Siemens IT Solutions and Services with the exception of certain business activities which remain in the Siemens group are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented.

     For the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, line item Expenses also includes personnel-related matters associated with establishing Siemens IT Solutions and Services as a separate legal entity which is a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of Siemens AG.
     The loss recognised on the measurement of Siemens IT Solutions and Services to fair value less costs to sell includes impairments that have been recognised in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, respectively. Based on revised expectations regarding the recoverable amount, the entering into the option agreement with Atos in December 2010 represented a triggering event for an impairment test. Siemens IT Solutions and Services was reviewed for impairment following the accounting guidance for continuing operations as the criteria for a presentation as held for disposal were not fulfilled as of December 2010. The impairment test was conducted in the form of a comparison of the fair value less costs to sell with the carrying amount of Siemens IT Solutions and Services to be disposed. The fair market value was assumed to be represented by the consideration that Atos committed itself to pay for the transfer of Siemens IT Solutions and Services less commitments entered into by Siemens. As a result, an impairment charge of €136 was recognised in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill, representing the entire goodwill of Siemens IT Solutions and Services. Upon classification as held for disposal and discontinued operation in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, a further impairment of non-current assets in the measurement scope was recognised. Other intangibles and property, plant and equipment (including leased assets) totalling €464 were fully impaired.
     The assets and liabilities of Siemens IT Solutions and Services are presented as held for disposal on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2011 and measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

The gain comprises (1) the payment from Areva to Siemens of €1,747 including the purchase price of Siemens’ 34 percent share of €1,620, as defined in the shareholders’ agreement and further contractual arrangements between Siemens and Areva, other adjusting components of €76, mainly relating to interest accretion on the purchase price granted to Siemens as a component of fair market value since the termination of the shareholders’ agreement in early 2009, and a reimbursement of a mandatory capital injection from Areva to Siemens of €51 after the issuance of the put notice in January 2009, (2) the carrying amount of the 34 percent share in Areva NP S.A.S. of €190 to be derecognized and (3) transaction costs as well as other derecognition effects of €(37).
     Line item Miscellaneous financial income (expense), net, in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 primarily comprises gains and losses related to derivative financial instruments as well as interest income (expense) related to long-term liabilities and provisions of €228 and (€97). Included in interests from long-term liabilities and provisions is the gain resulting from the change in the discount rate of asset retirement obligations for environmental clean up costs, compensating the loss of these derivatives to a large extent. Further losses primarily relate to miscellaneous interest rate financial instruments.

12. Legal proceedings
     Information regarding investigations and other legal proceedings, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential financial impact on Siemens, is included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010 (Consolidated Financial Statements).
     Significant developments regarding investigations and other legal proceedings that have occurred since the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.
     Public corruption proceedings
     Governmental and related proceedings
     On March 9, 2009, Siemens AG received a decision by the Vendor Review Committee of the United Nations Secretariat Procurement Division (UNPD) suspending Siemens AG from the UNPD vendor database for a minimum period of six months. The suspension applied to contracts with the UN Secretariat and stemmed from Siemens AG’s guilty plea in December 2008 to violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. On December 22, 2009, Siemens AG filed a request to lift the existing suspension. On January 14, 2011, Siemens was informed that the Vendor Review Committee of the UNPD had recommended that the existing suspension be lifted and that Siemens AG be invited to re-register with the UNPD.
     As previously reported, in February 2010 a Greek Parliamentary Investigation Committee (GPIC) was established to investigate whether any politicians or other state officials in Greece were involved in alleged wrong-doing of Siemens in Greece. GPIC’s investigation is focused on possible criminal liability of politicians and other state officials. Greek public prosecutors are separately investigating certain fraud and bribery allegations involving — among others — former board members and former executives of Siemens A.E. Greece (Siemens A.E.) and Siemens AG. Both investigations may have a negative impact on civil proceedings currently pending against Siemens AG and Siemens A.E. and may affect the future business activities of Siemens in Greece. In January 2011, the GPIC stated in a letter to Siemens that the alleged damage suffered by the Greek state amounts to at least €2 billion. Furthermore, the GPIC issued a report repeating these allegations. In addition, the Hellenic Republic Minister of State indicated in a letter to Siemens that the Greek state will seek compensation from Siemens for the alleged damage. Siemens rejects these allegations as unfounded and is defending itself vigorously.
     As previously reported, the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was conducting an investigation into alleged illegal payments by Siemens to Nigerian public officials between 2002 and 2005. In October 2010, the EFCC filed charges with the Federal High Court in Abuja and the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory against — among others — Siemens Ltd. Nigeria (Siemens Nigeria), Siemens AG and former board members of Siemens Nigeria. On November 22, 2010, the Nigerian Government and Siemens Nigeria entered into an out of court settlement, obligating Siemens Nigeria to make a payment in the mid double-digit Euro million range to Nigeria in exchange for the Nigerian Government withdrawing these criminal charges and refraining from the initiation of any criminal, civil or other actions — such as a debarment — against Siemens Nigeria, Siemens AG, and Siemens employees.
     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 as a result of penalties, fines, disgorgements, compensatory damages, third-party litigation, including with competitors, the formal or informal exclusion from public invitations to tender, or the loss of business licenses or permits. Additional expenses and provisions, which could be material, may need to be recorded in the future for penalties, fines, damages or other charges in connection with the investigations.
     Civil litigation
     As previously reported, Siemens 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. Siemens and the competitor continue to be engaged in discussions.

     As previously disclosed, a securities class action was filed in December 2009 against Siemens AG with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York seeking damages for alleged violations of U.S. securities laws. In March 2011, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the action. The plaintiffs have challenged the court’s decision.
     Antitrust proceedings
     As previously reported, in April 2007, Siemens AG and former VA Tech companies 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 former VA Tech companies 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 power substations. The fine imposed on Siemens AG amounted to €396.6 and was paid by the Company in 2007. The fine imposed on former VA Tech companies, which Siemens AG acquired in July 2005, amounted to €22.1. Former VA Tech companies were declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a separate fine of €4.5. On March 3, 2011, the European Court of First Instance dismissed the case regarding the fine imposed on Siemens AG and re-calculated the fines for the former VA Tech companies. Former VA Tech companies were declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a fine of €8.1. Siemens AG will appeal the decision.
     In addition to the proceedings mentioned in this document, authorities in Brazil, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are conducting investigations into comparable possible antitrust violations. In October 2010, the High Court of New Zealand dismissed corresponding charges against Siemens.
     In January 2010, the European Commission launched an investigation related to previously reported investigations into potential antitrust violations involving producers of flexible current transmission systems in New Zealand and the US including, among others, Siemens AG. In April 2010, authorities in Korea and Mexico informed the Company that similar proceedings had been initiated. The official investigations in connection with flexible power transmission systems have been closed. Siemens had been cooperating with all authorities.
     On November 16, 2010, the Greek Competition Authority searched the premises of Siemens S.A. in Athens, in response to allegations of anti-competitive practices in the field of telecommunication and security. Siemens is cooperating with the authority.
     On December 15, 2010, and on March 7, 2011, the Turkish Antitrust Authority searched the premises of several diagnostic companies including, among others, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostik Ticaret Limited Sirketi in Istanbul, in response to allegations of anti-competitive agreements. Siemens is cooperating with the authority.
     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 to €0.120 and from €0.640 to €0.110 regarding VA Technologie AG. 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, based on alleged breaches of law, filed an extraordinary appeal with the Supreme Court. In December 2009, Siemens AG was notified that the Supreme Court had remanded the case to the Court of Appeal, with instructions to take a new decision on the amount of the fines. The extraordinary appeal from the Competition Authority was rejected with legally binding effect by the Court of Appeal on January 27, 2010. On April 6, 2010, the Competition Authority filed another extraordinary appeal with the Supreme Court. In April 2011, the Supreme Court sustained the extraordinary appeal of the Competition Authority and remanded the case for a new decision to another chamber of the Court of Appeal.
     Other proceedings
     As previously reported, Siemens AG is a member of a supplier consortium that has contracted to construct the nuclear power plant “Olkiluoto 3” in Finland for Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) on a turnkey basis. Siemens AG’s share of the consideration to be paid to the supplier consortium under the contract is approximately 27 percent. The other member of the supplier consortium is a further consortium consisting of Areva NP S.A.S. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Areva NP GmbH. The agreed completion date for the nuclear power plant was April 30, 2009. Completion of the power plant has been delayed for reasons which are in dispute. In December 2008, the supplier consortium filed a request for arbitration against TVO demanding an extension of the construction time, additional compensation and damages in the amount of now approximately €1.23 billion. TVO rejected the demand for an extension of time and made counterclaims against the supplier consortium. These consist primarily of damages due to the delay, claimed to amount to approximately €1.43 billion based on an estimated completion of the plant in June 2012 with a delay of 38 months. Since then the estimated time of completion of the plant has been further delayed.

     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 were accused of having manipulated the tender procedure. In October 2010, the investigation was closed.
     Russian authorities are conducting widespread investigations regarding possible fraudulent activities of resellers relating to procurement of medical equipment by the public sector. As is the case with other providers of medical equipment, OOO Siemens Russia has received numerous information requests and inquiries were made on-site by the authorities regarding tenders in the public healthcare sector. OOO Siemens Russia is cooperating with the ongoing investigations which also relate to certain individual employees.
     For certain legal proceedings information required under IAS 37, Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, is not disclosed, if the Company concludes that the disclosure can be expected to seriously prejudice the outcome of the litigation.
     In addition to the investigations and legal proceedings described in Siemens’ Consolidated Financial Statements 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 or potential claims for 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 Consolidated Financial Statements 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, it cannot be excluded that 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 indeterminate damages, Siemens may not be able to predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. The final resolutions of the matters discussed in this section could have a material effect on Siemens’ business, results of operations and financial condition for any reporting period in which adverse decisions are rendered. Siemens currently does not expect its business, results of operations and financial condition to be materially affected by the additional legal matters not separately discussed in this section.
13. Share-based payment
     Share-based payment plans at Siemens are predominantly designed as equity-settled plans and to a certain extent as cash-settled plans. Total pretax expense for share-based payment recognized in line item Income from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to €31 and €23, respectively, and to €84 and €70, respectively, in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
     For further information on Siemens’ share-based payment plans, see Note 34 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010.
     Share-based compensation of Managing Board members
The Supervisory Board decided to make further adjustments to the remuneration system for the Managing Board and to focus even more sharply on sustainable corporate management. Revisions to the remuneration system for the Managing Board, the details of which are set forth in the Compensation report within Siemens’ Annual Report as of September 30, 2010, became effective as of October 1, 2010.
     Variable compensation component (bonus): In the first quarter of fiscal 2011 agreements were entered into which entitle members of the Managing Board to Bonus Awards contingent upon the target attainment. The fair value of these entitlements amounting to €4 was determined in the first quarter by calculating the present value of the target amount, representing a 100 percent target attainment. Compensation expense related to Bonus Awards is recognized over one-year until they vest. Beneficiaries will receive one free share of Siemens stock for each Bonus Award, following an additional waiting period of four years.
     Long-term stock-based compensation: In the first quarter of fiscal 2011 agreements were entered into which entitle members of the Managing Board to Stock Awards contingent upon the target attainment. Half of the annual target amount for stock awards will be linked to the average of published earnings per share (basic EPS) for the past three fiscal years.

(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
The fair value of these entitlements amounting to €5 was determined in the first quarter by calculating the present value of the target amount, representing a 100 percent target attainment. The other half of the target amount for Stock Awards is based on the performance of Siemens stock relative to five competitors (ABB, General Electric, Philips, Rockwell, Schneider). The fair value of these entitlements amounting to €5 was calculated by applying a local volatility model. Inputs to that model include an expected weighted volatility of Siemens shares of 30 percent and a market price of €88.09 per Siemens share. Expected volatility was determined by reference to implied volatilities. The model applies a risk-free interest rate of up to 2.4 percent and an expected dividend yield of 3 percent. Compensation expense related to stock awards is recognized over five years until they vest. The total carrying amount for liabilities arising from stock awards settled in cash amounts to €— as of March 31, 2011.
     In addition to share-based compensation described above, members of the Managing Board received stock awards as part of their remuneration for fiscal 2010 and could also participate in the Base Share Program and in the Share Matching Plan for the last time.
     Stock awards
     In the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company granted 1,378,185 and 1,361,586 stock awards to employees and members of the Managing Board, of which 128,284 and 154,226 awards were granted to the Managing Board. Details on stock award activity and weighted average grant-date fair value for continuing and discontinued operations in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are:

     Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends, as stock awards do not carry dividend rights until vested, which resulted in a weighted average grant-date fair value of €77.79 and €60.79 per stock award granted in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total fair value of stock awards granted in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, amounted to €107 and €83, respectively.
     Line item Forfeited/settled in the six months ended March 31, 2010, includes rights to stock awards granted to former Managing and Supervisory Board members, who used their stock award rights to net their obligations towards the Company, which resulted from settlement agreements in connection with compliance matters. For further information see Note 12.

     Share Matching Program and its underlying plans
     a) Base Share Program
     Under the Base Share Program, employees of Siemens AG and participating Siemens companies can purchase Siemens shares under favorable conditions once a year; members of the Managing Board, for the last time, can participate in the Base Share Program. The Base Share Program is measured at fair value at grant-date. Shares purchased under the Base Share Program grant the right to receive matching shares under the same conditions described below at Share Matching Plan. In the three months ended December 31, 2010, Siemens issued a new tranche of the Base Share Program (Base Share Program 2011) under the same terms as the Base Share Program 2010.
     In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Base Share Program allowed members of the Managing Board and employees of Siemens AG and participating Siemens companies to make an investment of a fixed amount of their compensation into Siemens shares, which is sponsored by Siemens with a tax beneficial allowance per plan participant. Shares were bought at the market price at a predetermined date in the second quarter. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred pretax expense from continuing and discontinued operations of €31 and €27.
     b) Share Matching Plan
     In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, Siemens issued a new tranche under the Share Matching Plan (Share Matching Plan 2011) under the same terms as the Share Matching Plan 2010. For the Share Matching Plan 2011 and 2010, senior managers of Siemens AG and participating Siemens companies may invest a certain amount of their compensation in Siemens shares; for the last time, members of the Managing Board may invest a certain amount of their bonus payout relating to fiscal 2010 in Siemens shares. The shares are purchased at the market price at a predetermined date in the second quarter. Up to the stipulated grant-dates in the first quarter of each fiscal year, plan participants have to decide on their investment amount for which investment shares are purchased. The investment shares are then issued in the second quarter of the fiscal year. In exchange, plan participants receive the right to one free share (matching share) for every three investment shares continuously held over a period of three years (vesting period) provided the plan participant has been continuously employed by Siemens AG or another Siemens company until the end of the vesting period. During the vesting period, matching shares are not entitled to dividends. The right to receive matching shares forfeits if the underlying investment shares are transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise encumbered. The Managing Board will decide, each fiscal year, whether a new Share Matching Plan will be issued. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the fair value at grant-date of investment shares resulting from the Share Matching Plan 2010 is €— as the investment shares are offered at market price.

     c) Monthly Investment Plan
     In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company introduced the Monthly Investment Plan as a further component of the Share Matching Plan. The Monthly Investment Plan is available for employees — other than senior managers — of Siemens AG and participating Siemens companies. Plan participants may invest a certain percentage of their compensation in Siemens shares on a monthly basis. The Managing Board of the Company will decide annually, whether shares acquired under the Monthly Investment Plan (investment shares) may be transferred to the Share Matching Plan the following year. If management decides that shares acquired under the Monthly Investment Plan are transferred to the Share Matching Plan, plan participants will receive the right to one free share (matching share) for every three investment shares continuously held over a period of three years (vesting period) provided the plan participant had been continuously employed by Siemens AG or another Siemens company until the end of the vesting period. Up to the stipulated grant-dates in the first quarter of each fiscal year, employees may decide their participation in the Monthly Investment Plan and consequently the Share Matching Plan. The Managing Board will decide, each fiscal year, whether a new Monthly Investment Plan will be issued.
     In October 2010, the Managing Board decided that shares acquired under the Monthly Investment Plan 2010 will be transferred to the Share Matching Plan as of February 2011. Accordingly, participants will receive the right to one free share (matching share) for every three investment shares continuously held over a period of three years (vesting period) provided the plan participant had been continuously employed by Siemens AG or another Siemens company.
     In the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Managing Board decided to issue a new Monthly Investment Plan (Monthly Investment Plan 2011) under the same terms as the 2010 Monthly Investment Plan.
     d) Resulting Matching Shares
     Details on matching share activities for continuing and discontinued operations in the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are:
                 
    Six months ended     Six months ended  
    March 31, 2011     March 31, 2010

Outstanding, end of period
    2,118,980       1,667,803  
 
           
     Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period as matching shares do not carry dividend rights during the vesting period. Non-vesting conditions, i.e. the condition neither to transfer, sell, pledge nor otherwise encumber the underlying shares, were considered in determining the fair values. The fair values of matching shares granted amounted to €58.15 and €71.09, per share, respectively, depending on the respective grant-dates in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The fair value of matching shares granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, amounts to €47.18 per share. In fiscal 2011 and 2010, the weighted average grant-date fair value of the resulting matching shares is €66.13 and €47.18 per share, respectively, based on the number of instruments granted. Total fair value of matching shares granted in fiscal 2011 and 2010 amounted to €38 and €21, respectively.

     Share-based payment plans are dilutive at the Income from continuing operations level and so, in accordance with IAS 33, Earnings per Share, have been treated as dilutive for the purpose of diluted earnings per share. The diluted loss per share from discontinued operations is lower than basic loss per share from discontinued operations because of the effect of losses on discontinued operations.
     In the six months ended March 31, 2010, the dilutive earnings per share computation does not contain weighted average shares of 1,923 thousand since its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive in the periods presented.
15. Segment information
     Segment information is presented for continuing operations. Accordingly, current and prior period Segment information excludes discontinued operations. For a description of the Siemens segments see Note 37 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010. Regarding our discontinued operations Siemens IT Solutions and Services and OSRAM, see Note 2.
     Energy
     At the beginning of November 2010, Siemens closed the acquisition of a non-controlling interest of 49 percent in A2SEA A/S, a supplier of installation services for the construction of offshore wind farms. The aggregate consideration amounts to €115 of which €47 were paid as of closing. The second purchase price installment becomes payable latest in November 2011. The investment, presented under Energy Sector’s Renewable Energy Division, will be accounted for using the equity method.
     Equity Investments
     See Note 16 for information on the fiscal 2011 conversion of our loan receivable from NSN into interests in NSN’s preferred shares, increasing our NSN investment accounted for using the equity method.
     Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements
     Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements contains businesses and items not directly related to Siemens’ reportable segments:
     Centrally managed portfolio activities include businesses and activities which generally are intended for divestment or closure and, at present, primarily includes effects from the Electronics Assembly Systems business sold in the six months ended March 31, 2011, see Note 2, and activities remaining from divestments and discontinued operations such as from Siemens IT Solutions and Services and from the former Com business.
     Siemens Real Estate (SRE) owns and manages a substantial part of Siemens’ real estate portfolio and offers a range of services encompassing real estate development, real estate disposal and asset management, as well as lease and services management. SRE is in the process of bundling additional corporate real estate. In the six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, assets with a carrying amount of €413 and €449 were transferred to SRE.
     Corporate items and pensions includes corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, corporate projects and non-operating investments or results of corporate-related derivative activities and, since fiscal 2010, costs for carve out activities managed by corporate, which are charged to the respective segment when the disposal gain or loss is realized or when the activities are classified as discontinued operations. Line item Pensions includes the Company’s pension related income (expense) not allocated to the segments, SRE or Centrally managed portfolio activities. Regarding the allocation of central infrastructure costs, see Profit definition below.

Table of Contents

SIEMENS
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items comprise consolidation of transactions within the segments, certain reconciliation and reclassification items and the activities of the Company’s Corporate Treasury. It also includes interest income and expense, such as, for example, interest not allocated to segments or Centrally managed portfolio activities (referred to as financing interest), interest related to Corporate Treasury activities or resulting consolidation and reconciliation effects on interest.
     Measurement — Segments
     Accounting policies for Segment information are based on those used for Siemens, which are described in Note 2 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2010. Lease transactions, however, are classified as operating leases for internal and segment reporting. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments, except for central infrastructure costs which are primarily allocated to the Sectors. Intersegment transactions are based on market prices.
     Profit of the Sectors and Equity Investments
     Siemens’ Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the segments. The Company’s profitability measure of the Sectors and Equity Investments is earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs, and income taxes (Profit) as determined by the chief operating decision maker. Profit excludes various categories of items, not allocated to the Sectors and Equity Investments which Management does not regard as indicative of their performance. Profit represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market financing issues — for financing issues regarding Equity Investments, see paragraph below. The major categories of items excluded from Profit are presented below.
     Financing interest, excluded from Profit, is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Sectors and Equity Investments, and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Profit because decision-making regarding financing is typically made at the corporate level. Equity Investments include interest and impairments as well as reversals of impairments on long-term loans granted to investments reported in Equity Investments.
     Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Profit primarily includes amounts related to service costs of pension plans only, while all other regularly recurring pension related costs — including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs — are included in line item Corporate items and pensions. Curtailments are a partial payback with regard to past service costs that affect Segment Profit.
     Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Profit since income tax is subject to legal structures, which typically do not correspond to the structure of the segments.
     The effect of certain litigation and compliance issues is excluded from Profit, if such items are not indicative of the Sectors and Equity Investments’ performance, since their related results of operations may be distorted by the amount and the irregular nature of such events. This may also be the case for items that refer to more than one reportable segment, SRE and/or Centrally managed portfolio activities or have a corporate or central character.
     Beginning with fiscal 2011, central infrastructure costs, which were formerly reported in Corporate items, are allocated primarily to the Sectors. The total amount to be allocated is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year and will be charged in equal installments in all four quarters. Prior period financial information is reported on a comparable basis.
     For fiscal 2010, Company’s management approved a special remuneration, which was presented in Corporate items in fiscal 2010; in the six months ended March 31, 2011, the remuneration totaling €267 for continuing operations was primarily allocated to the Sectors based on management approach, which resulted in a positive impact at Corporate items. The Sectors were charged as follows: Industry €128, Energy €69 and Healthcare €43.

SIEMENS
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of €, except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     Profit of Equity Investments mainly comprises income (loss) from investments presented in Equity Investments, such as the share in the earnings of associates or dividends from investments not accounted for under the equity method, income (loss) from the sale of interests in investments, impairment of investments and reversals of impairments. It also includes interest and impairments as well as reversals of impairments on long-term loans granted to investments reported in Equity Investments, primarily NSN.
     Profit of the segment SFS
     Profit of the segment SFS is Income before income taxes. In contrast to performance measurement principles applied to the Sectors and Equity Investments, interest income and expense is an important source of revenue and expense of SFS.
     Asset measurement principles
     Management determined Assets as a measure to assess capital intensity of the Sectors and Equity Investments (Net capital employed). Its definition corresponds to the Profit measure. It is based on Total assets of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, primarily excluding intragroup financing receivables, intragroup investments and tax related assets, since the corresponding positions are excluded from Profit. The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest-bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities, e.g. trade payables, and provisions to derive Assets. Equity Investments may include certain shareholder loans granted to investments reported in Equity Investments. In contrast, Assets of SFS is Total assets. A reconciliation of Assets disclosed in Segment information to Total assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is presented below.
     New orders
     New orders are determined principally as estimated revenue of accepted purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent. New orders are supplementary information, provided on a voluntary basis. It is not part of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements subject to the review opinion.
     Free cash flow definition
     Segment information discloses Free cash flow and Additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Free cash flow of the Sectors and Equity Investments constitutes net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. It excludes Financing interest as well as income tax related and certain other payments and proceeds, in accordance with the Company’s Profit and Asset measurement definition. Free cash flow of Equity Investments includes interest from shareholder loans granted to investments reported in Equity Investments, primarily NSN. Pension curtailments are a partial payback with regard to past service costs that affect Segment Free cash flow. Free cash flow of SFS, a financial services business, includes related financing interest payments and proceeds; income tax payments and proceeds of SFS are excluded.
     Amortization, depreciation and impairments
     Amortization, depreciation and impairments presented in Segment information includes depreciation and impairments of property, plant and equipment, net of reversals of impairments as well as amortization and impairments of intangible assets, net of reversals of impairment. Goodwill impairment is excluded.
     Measurement — Centrally managed portfolio activities and SRE
     Centrally managed portfolio activities follow the measurement principles of the Sectors and Equity Investments. SRE applies the same measurement principles as SFS; since fiscal 2011, Total assets of SRE nets certain intercompany finance receivables with certain intercompany finance liabilities.
     Reconciliation to Siemens’ Consolidated Financial Statements
     The following table reconciles total Assets of the Sectors, Equity Investments and Cross-Sector Business to Total assets of Siemens’ Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:

     Related individuals include the members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board.
     In the three and six months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, no major transactions took place between the Company and members of the Managing Board and Supervisory Board.
     Some of the members of the Company’s Managing Board and Supervisory Board hold positions of significant responsibility with other entities.

17. Supervisory Board and Managing Board
     Compensation
     Based on a Supervisory Board resolution in fiscal 2010, the Managing Board compensation system was revised for fiscal year beginning on October 1, 2010. In accordance with the German Act on the Appropriateness of Managing Board Remuneration (VorstAG), the revised Managing Board compensation system was approved by Siemens’ shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 25, 2011.
     At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on January 25, 2011, a revised compensation scheme for Supervisory Board members was approved, which is effective as of October 1, 2010. To further strengthen the Supervisory Board’s independence, the revised compensation scheme removes the variable, performance-related compensation components which were based on earnings per share and substitutes those for fixed compensation which corresponds more closely to international best practice.
     For further information on Managing and Supervisory Board compensation, see the Compensation report within the Corporate Governance report of our September 30, 2010 Annual Report.
     Board Member Changes
     In the three months ended March 31, 2011, Siemens initiated a change of its organizational structure of its Industry and its Energy Sector with effect from October 1, 2011. In connection with Siemens’ announced organizational changes, Roland Busch, Klaus Helmrich and Michael Süß have been appointed full members of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, effective April 1, 2011. Roland Busch, previously head of Corporate Strategies, has been appointed CEO of the new Infrastructure & Cities Sector. Klaus Helmrich, previously CEO of the Drive Technologies Division, has taken over the Managing Board portfolio for Technology. Michael Süß, previously CEO of the Fossil Power Generation Division, has been appointed CEO of the Energy Sector.
     Wolfgang Dehen left the Managing Board of Siemens AG to become CEO of the Executive Board of OSRAM GmbH, effective April 1, 2011.

Review report
     To Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich
     We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flow and selected explanatory notes, together with the interim group management report, of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich for the period from October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to Sec. 37w WpHG (“Wertpapierhandelsgesetz”: German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report based on our review.
     We conducted our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW — Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) and in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review on Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to making inquiries of company personnel and applying analytical procedures and thus does not provide the assurance that we would obtain from an audit of financial statements. In accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
     Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
