Terminology update

As a result of the implementation of the new rule Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Siemens changed the terminology and definition of certain terms used in its financial reporting especially relating to its Groups.

Summarized information specifying the changes is provided in the table below:

       
New terminology/definition Previous terminology/definition
 
Group   Segment/group
 
  Designates a reportable segment.   Previously both terms were used.
 
Group profit EBIT
 
  Measure of individual segment profit or loss.

Definition remains unchanged: “Earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs, income taxes and certain one-time items, which do not relate to the business performance of the Groups.”
 
Other operations    
 
  New line item within the Segment information table which primarily refers to certain centrally-held equity investments (such as BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte) and other operating activities not associated with a Group.   No comparable previous line item. “Other operations” was part of the former line item “Corporate, eliminations”.
 
Group profit from Operations EBIT from Operations
 
  Total of the individual Groups’ profit including “Other operations”.

Definition changed. The former line item “Corporate, eliminations” is now separated into “Other operations” which is included in Group profit from Operations, and “Corporate items, pensions and eliminations” which is included in “Reconciliation to financial statements”.
  No longer acceptable Non-GAAP Siemens measure under new SEC rules.

EBIT from Operations had been the total of the segments’ EBIT and “Corporate, eliminations”.

EBIT from Operations can be calculated as total of Group profit from Operations plus “Corporate items, pensions and eliminations’’(1).
 
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations    
 
  New element of the line item “Reconciliation to financial statements” within the Segment information table.   No comparable previous line item. “Corporate items, pensions and eliminations” was part of the former line item “Corporate, eliminations’’(2).
 
  Includes all other items of the former “Corporate, eliminations” which refer to centrally managed items unrelated to operating activities. These comprise, among others, corporate charges such as personnel cost, corporate projects, certain non-allocated pension costs and corporate-related derivative activities. Also included are certain centrally-held investments, primarily the equity investment in Infineon which is not considered under an operating perspective since Siemens intends to divest its remaining interest in Infineon over time.

Siemens in the second quarter (January 1 to March 31) of fiscal 2003

  Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 was 568 million. Second-quarter net income of 1.281 billion a year earlier included a gain of 604 million from sales of shares in Infineon Technologies AG. Net income for the first six months was 1.089 billion. First-half net income a year ago was 1.819 billion, including 936 million in gains from sales of Infineon shares.
 
  Group profit from Operations was 1.073 billion, compared to 1.086 billion in the second quarter a year ago. Anticipated lower earnings at Power Generation were offset by earnings growth at Siemens VDO Automotive, Automation and Drives, Power Transmission and Distribution, and Osram. Group profit from Operations for the first six months was 2.170 billion, up 11% from 1.951 billion in the same period a year earlier.
 
  Sales of 18.230 billion and orders of 19.084 billion were down 14% and 15%, respectively, from the second quarter a year earlier. Excluding currency translation effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, sales and orders decreased 5% and 7%, respectively. First-half sales were 37.075 billion, down 12% year-over-year, and orders were 39.229 billion, down 18%. Excluding currency and deconsolidation effects, sales and orders were down 4% and 11%, respectively.
 
  Net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.398 billion, compared to second-quarter net cash of 1.433 billion a year earlier. Net cash from operating and investing activities for the first six months was 261 million after a supplemental cash contribution of 442 million to Siemens’ pension trusts in Germany and the U.K. In contrast, first-half net cash of 1.740 billion a year earlier included 945 million in net proceeds from portfolio activities.

 


Table of Contents

Note: Siemens’ implementation of new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, effective March 28, 2003, includes the use of certain new terms. These terms are defined in a separate document titled “Terminology Update,” which is included with the Key Figures table accompanying this Earnings Release.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2003, Group profit from Operations was 1.073 billion, nearly unchanged compared to 1.086 billion in the prior-year period. During the current quarter an anticipated, volume-driven reduction in earnings at Power Generation (PG), due to the end of the gas turbine energy boom in the U.S., was offset by rising profits and higher margins despite falling sales at a majority of Siemens’ operating Groups, led by Siemens VDO Automotive (SV), Automation and Drives (A&D), Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD), and Osram. Medical Solutions (Med) also maintained earnings and margins at a high level. Despite falling demand that continues to challenge the entire telecommunications and networking industry, Siemens’ three Information and Communications Groups held their aggregate bottom line stable year-over-year.

Second-quarter net income of 568 million was lower than 1.281 billion a year earlier primarily due to a gain of 604 million in the prior-year period from the sale of shares in Infineon. In addition, Siemens’ equity share of Infineon’s net loss was higher in the current period, at 127 million, as was non-allocated pension expense, at 187 million. The comparable effects a year earlier were a negative 43 million and a negative 55 million, respectively. Earnings per share in the current quarter were 0.64, compared to 1.44 in the prior-year period.

Net cash from operating and investing activities in the second quarter rebounded strongly from the first quarter, to 1.398 billion, benefiting from effective asset management and planned reductions in capital expenditures. Net cash in the same quarter a year ago was 1.433 billion, including a negative 327 million related to transactions involving Infineon and Atecs Mannesmann. For the first six months of this year, net cash from operating and investing activities was 261 million, after supplemental pension trust contributions of 442 million in the first quarter. Net cash for the first six months a year earlier was 1.740 billion, including 945 million of net proceeds from the above-mentioned portfolio transactions.

 


Table of Contents

Sales and orders were lower year-over-year, due primarily to weaker macroeconomic conditions in Europe and the U.S. The comparison with the prior-year period also includes strong currency effects, particularly related to the U.S. dollar, as well as divestments that reduced Siemens’ overall business volume. These effects accounted for nine percentage points of the 14% year-over-year decline in sales and eight percentage points of the 15% decline in orders, to 18.230 billion and 19.084 billion, respectively.

“Despite the difficult macroeconomic conditions and declining business volumes, many of the Groups are on track to achieve their Operation 2003 earnings targets,” said Siemens CEO Heinrich v. Pierer. “I am satisfied with our results, including another positive development in net cash. However, the ongoing weakness in capital spending across our major regions and markets is a concern. We will adjust our resources and investment plans appropriately in the event that it becomes necessary.”

Operations in the second quarter of fiscal 2003

In the Information and Communications business area, Information and Communication Networks (ICN) narrowed its second-quarter Group loss from 158 million a year ago to 147 million in the current period. The Group continued to adjust its cost structure to address industry-wide declines in business volume, taking charges for severance and capacity adjustments totaling 44 million. While the Enterprise Networks division contributed 49 million to Group profit on sales of 887 million, substantially lower business volume as well as pricing pressures contributed to a 180 million quarterly loss on 797 million in sales at the Carrier Networks and Services division. For the Group as a whole, sales dropped 37% to 1.679 billion from 2.657 billion in the prior-year period. In addition to ongoing adverse market conditions, ICN’s year-over-year decline in second-quarter sales also reflects currency translation effects of negative 6 percentage points and the divestment of various businesses between the two periods under review. Correspondingly, orders were down 22% to 1.689 billion from 2.174 billion in the same quarter a year ago, including negative currency effects of 7 percentage points. ICN anticipates ongoing charges in the second half of fiscal 2003, particularly related to its PACT program.

Information and Communication Mobile (ICM) improved its Group profit to 55 million in the second quarter from 44 million in the prior-year period. Second-quarter sales were 2.329 billion, down 15% from 2.731 billion, and orders were 2.300 billion, down 31% from 3.325 billion. Currency effects contributed five percentage points to the decline in sales. The Mobile Phones division contributed 2 million to Group profit, generating 983 million in sales on a volume of 8.0 million handsets in a seasonally slow quarter. These results reflect ongoing margin pressures in the mobile phone market compared to a year ago, partly offset by a better-performing product mix. For comparison the division sold 8.3 million units and earned 13 million on sales of 1.052 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. Market conditions were particularly challenging at the Mobile Networks division, where earnings of 44 million on sales of 1.067 billion included a net positive effect of 66 million related primarily to a reduction in customer financing exposure. For comparison, the division’s earnings a year earlier were 33 million. The Cordless Products and Wireless Modules divisions again contributed to Group profit. Anticipating further volume erosion in the second half of the year, particularly at Mobile Networks, ICM is intensifying its “Top-on-Air” productivity program.

Siemens Business Systems (SBS) posted Group profit of 25 million, down from 38 million in the second quarter a year earlier. Sales declined 8%, to 1.338 billion, and orders fell 12%, to 1.291 billion, as the market for information technology (IT) services grappled with increasing overcapacity, particularly in the Group’s important German and European Union markets.

In the Automation and Control business area, Automation & Drives (A&D) was again a top earnings performer among Siemens Groups. A&D’s Group profit of 184 million and margin of 9% were up substantially from the same quarter a year ago, and maintained the pace of more recent quarters. The Industrial Automation Systems and Motion Control Systems divisions delivered the strongest contributions to Group profit. Second-quarter sales were 2.034 billion, down 5% year-over-year, and orders were 2.155 billion, level with the prior year. Currency effects cut seven percentage points from both sales and order growth.

 


Table of Contents

While Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) was in the black in the second quarter, due to a net positive effect of 9 million related to revised estimates of project performance, the Group continues to reduce capacity as the market for industrial solutions continues to weaken. Second-quarter sales declined 7%, to 990 million, including five percentage points due to currency effects, and orders were level at 1.018 billion.

Siemens Dematic (SD) held its Group profit level with the second quarter a year earlier, at 12 million, despite price erosion in the U.S. and European markets and the ongoing slump in the telecommunications equipment market, which affects SD’s Electronics Assembly Systems division. Second-quarter sales of 658 million were down 12% year-over-year, and orders were down 10%, to 614 million. Currency effects cut 12 percentage points from sales growth and 14 percentage points from order growth.

Group profit at Siemens Building Technologies (SBT) was 2 million after 16 million in charges for severance and associated write-downs. For comparison, Group profit in the second quarter a year earlier was 40 million. Slower economic growth in the U.S. and Europe combined with an 8% currency effect pushed sales down 13% year-over-year, to 1.228 billion, and orders down 16%, to 1.238 billion. SBT anticipates further charges to reduce capacity and divest under-performing units in the second half of fiscal 2003.

In the Power business area, PG led all Siemens operating segments with Group profit of 262 million and a margin well above 15%. This result includes charges of 23 million for planned consolidation of manufacturing capacity. Furthermore, while the current period includes net gains of 46 million from customer cancellations, the prior-year period benefited from a 75 million gain related to revised estimates of project performance. PG’s business volume, as expected, reflects the effects of radically reduced demand in the U.S. and a loss of ten percentage points to currency translation against sales between the two periods under review. As a result, sales of 1.691 billion and orders of 2.213 billion were both 35% lower than in the prior-year period. On a consecutive-quarter basis, business volumes declined more modestly. Success in winning new service contracts enabled PG to keep its backlog at 14.3 billion plus reservations of 4.1 billion — nearly the same composition as at the end of the first quarter.

Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) increased its quarterly Group profit to 50 million, well above the 30 million level in the second quarter a year ago. The prior period included losses at the Group’s Metering division, which PTD divested between the two periods under review. PTD’s margin improved three points year-over-year and nearly a full point compared to the previous quarter. Sales decreased 16%, to 846 million, and orders declined 20%, to 811 million. The aggregate effects of currency and the divestment of Metering strongly influenced sales and orders by a negative 21% and 22%, respectively.

In the Transportation business area, Transportation Systems (TS) held Group profit and margin steady at 64 million and 5.8%, respectively, led by strong earnings at the Rail Automation division. Sales for TS overall rose 4%, to 1.101 billion, as the Group converted previous orders, particularly for railcars in the United Kingdom, into current sales. TS continued to win new business in Europe and Asia, including contracts for Spain’s first driverless metropolitan transit system, in Barcelona, and 35 double-deck trains for the Swiss national railway system. The resulting 33% increase in second-quarter orders year-over-year, to 1.424 billion, drove the Group’s order backlog up to 11.6 billion.

Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) continued its improvement in quarterly profitability since completing the integration of its merger with VDO. Group profit of 119 million was a new high for SV, far above the 18 million level posted in the second quarter a year ago. Diesel injection systems continued to fuel earnings growth at SV, helped by a significant earnings improvement in onboard information and entertainment (“infotainment”) systems. Both sales and orders were 2.185 billion, down 1% year-over year, including negative currency translation effects of 7%.

In the Medical business area, Medical Solutions (Med) maintained a margin of nearly 14%, with a somewhat lower Group profit of 255 million compared to 262 million a year earlier. Sales slid 2%, to 1.830 billion, and orders fell 14%, to 1.845 billion, including currency effects of 14% and 12%, respectively.

 


Table of Contents

In the Lighting business area, Osram’s Group profit of 101 million and margin of 9.5% in a difficult market represented solid increases compared to 90 million and 7.9% in the second quarter a year earlier. The Group continued the success of recent quarters by combining stringent cost-cutting and investment in higher-margin new products, including offerings that contributed to rapid volume growth and earnings improvement at the Opto Semiconductors division. Volume development in the Group’s important U.S. market, however, remains difficult. Second-quarter sales and orders were 1.063 billion, down 7% year-over-year, including negative currency effects of 12%, particularly related to the U.S. dollar.

Other operations consists of items previously included in “Corporate, eliminations.” The new category aggregates results for certain centrally held equity investments such as Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH) and other operating activities not associated with a Group. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, Other operations generated Group profit of 87 million, compared to 99 million in the same period a year ago.

Corporate items, pensions and eliminations

Corporate items, pensions, and eliminations consist primarily of corporate personnel costs, corporate projects, certain non-allocated pension costs, and the net equity result of Infineon. For the second quarter of fiscal 2003, this line item was a negative 386 million compared to a negative 167 million in the same period a year ago. Corporate costs in the second quarter were 147 million, compared to 163 million last year. Siemens’ equity share of Infineon’s net loss was 127 million in the current quarter, compared to 43 million a year earlier, and non-allocated pension expense was also higher in the current period, at 187 million, compared to 55 million a year earlier.

Financing and Real Estate

Siemens Financial Services (SFS) increased earnings before income taxes to 58 million, up from 41 million in the second quarter year earlier, on higher income at the Equity division from an equity investment. Second-quarter results for Siemens Real Estate (SRE) declined year-over-year, to 55 million from 79 million, due to lower disposal gains and increasing vacancy rates brought on by economic uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe.

Siemens in the first six months

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2003 was 1.089 billion. First-half net income of 1.819 billion a year earlier included a non-taxable gain of 936 million related to the sale of shares in Infineon. On a comparable basis, net income improved year-over-year. The improvement was driven by an 11% increase in Group profit from Operations, which rose to 2.170 billion from 1.951 billion. Orders for the first six months were 39.229 billion, down 18% from 47.821 billion a year earlier, and sales fell 12% to 37.075 billion from 42.244 billion. Excluding currency and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, the declines in orders and sales were 11% and 4%, respectively. Earnings per share for the first six months of this year were 1.22 compared to 2.05 for the same period a year ago.

International trends for the first half of fiscal 2003

Orders in Germany for the first half were 8.708 billion, down 9% compared to the same period a year earlier. Sales in Germany decreased 8% to 8.315 billion. International orders dropped 20% year-over-year, to 30.521 billion. Excluding currency and deconsolidation effects, the decline was 11%. International sales of 28.760 billion declined 13% year-over-year. Excluding currency and deconsolidation effects, international sales slid 2%.

First-half orders in the U.S. were down 42%, to 7.546 billion, and sales declined 24%, to 7.924 billion, driven by expected volume declines at PG following the end of the gas turbine energy boom and also by currency effects of 18%. Asia-Pacific orders fell 16% to 4.899 billion and sales fell 15% year-over-year, to 4.293 billion, due largely to currency effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions. China continued to account for the region’s largest share of sales. While sales in China fell 19% to 1.358 billion in the first half of the current fiscal year, sales growth excluding currency effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions would have been 4% year-over-year.

Income Statement highlights for the second quarter of fiscal 2003

Net sales for Siemens worldwide were 18.230 billion in the second quarter, compared to 21.258 billion in the same period a year earlier. Net income for Siemens worldwide was 568 million. Net income of 1.281 billion in the same quarter a year ago included a gain of 604 million from the sale of shares in Infineon.

In Operations, net sales were 18.113 billion, down from 21.067 billion a year earlier. Gross profit margin remained steady at 27.8%, as lower margins due to charges taken for capacity adjustment at PG were offset by increases at ICN, A&D, PTD, TS, SV, Med and Osram. Research and development expense was 7.1% of sales, compared to 6.8% in the second quarter a year earlier. Marketing, selling, and general administration expense was 17.4% of sales, up from 17.1% a year ago. Other operating income (expense) was a positive 69 million, compared to a negative 74 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. Income from investments in other companies was 3 million, down from 96 million in the prior year period due primarily to higher losses associated with Siemens’ equity interest in Infineon. The prior-year period also includes a 604 million gain from the sales of shares in Infineon.

Liquidity and balance sheet highlights for the first half of fiscal 2003

Net cash from operating and investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2003 was 261 million. Operating activities provided net cash of 1.272 billion, after a 442 million supplemental cash contribution to Siemens’ pension trusts in Germany and the U.K. The current period reflects a substantial reduction in trade accounts receivable, particularly at ICN, A&D, SBT, and PTD. As part of a planned phase-out of sales of accounts receivable, the decrease in outstanding balance of receivables sold was 537 million in the current period, compared to a decrease of 190 million in the first six months of last year. Accounts payable decreased, but at a lower level than in the prior six-month period.

 


Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities was 1.011 billion compared to net cash used of 513 million in the first half of last year. The current period reflects lower cash outlays for capital expenditures compared to the prior year across all Groups, in particular ICN. Investing activities in the first six months of the prior year included transactions related to Siemens’ acquisition of Atecs Mannesmann. Also in the first six months of last year, a cash payment of 3.7 billion to Vodafone AG was partially offset by approximately 3.1 billion received from disposition of Atecs businesses held for sale. Sales of Infineon shares in the prior-year six-month period generated proceeds totaling 1.522 billion.

Net cash used in financing activities was 2.077 billion. Within that total was 727 million in repayment of debt, including the buyback of 500 million of a bond exchangeable into shares of Infineon and having a nominal value of 2.5 billion. The net change in short-term debt resulted in cash outflow of 594 million. During the six-month period, dividends paid to shareholders totaled 888 million. Total assets decreased to 73.878 billion from 77.939 billion at September 30, 2002, due primarily to currency effects and lower accounts receivable.

During the six month period ended March 31, 2003, the funding status of Siemens’ principal pension plans improved by approximately 50 million from September 30, 2002. The change is due primarily to supplemental cash contributions of 442 million plus a contribution of 377 million in real estate made at the beginning of the current fiscal year, largely offset by a slight decline in the market value of the pension plan assets and the half-year development of service and interest cost.

Economic Value Added

Siemens worldwide EVA for the first half of fiscal 2003 was positive but lower compared to the same period a year ago, due primarily to gains of 936 million on sales of shares in Infineon during the first six months a year earlier. Excluding these gains, EVA increased compared to the prior-year period.

Note: Siemens CEO Heinrich v. Pierer and CFO Heinz-Joachim Neubürger will hold an English-language telephone conference with analysts on April, 24, 2003 at 3.00 p.m. CET. You can follow this conference live on the Internet by going to www.siemens.com/analystcall. A recording of the telephone conference will be available later at the same location.
