Munich, November 13, 2003

Siemens in fiscal 2003 (ended September 30, 2003)

  Net income for fiscal 2003 was 2.445 billion, representing a 47% increase from 1.661 billion a year earlier, excluding a tax-free gain of 936 million from sales of Infineon shares.

  Group profit from Operations increased to 4.295 billion. The majority of Siemens Groups reported higher earnings and margins year-over-year.

  Net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.773 billion, including 5.712 billion in net cash from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities included cash outflows of 1.192 billion in supplemental cash contributions to Siemens pension trusts. Net cash used in investing activities of 3.939 billion included increases in investments and marketable securities of 957 million, and 929 million for a strategic acquisition at Power Generation.

  Sales were 74.233 billion and orders were 75.056 billion, down 12% and 13%, respectively from the prior year. Adjusting for currency effects and portfolio activities, sales and orders were 4% and 5% lower, respectively, than a year earlier.

  Siemens management proposes a dividend of 1.10 per share.

  For the fourth quarter, net income rose sharply year-over-year, to 724 million, and Group profit from Operations climbed 56%, to 1.102 billion. Net cash from operating and investing activities of 1.246 billion included 750 million in supplemental cash pension contributions. Fourth-quarter sales and orders were 7% and 4% lower than the prior year quarter but rose 14% and 8%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2003.

  In October 2003, at the beginning of the new fiscal year, Siemens made additional supplemental cash pension contributions of 1.255 billion.

“Operation 2003 has been a clear success,” said Siemens CEO Heinrich v. Pierer. “We increased net income nearly 50% compared to the prior year, on a comparable basis. The other objectives we achieved, such as strong cash flows from Operations, are also signs of improved operational performance. Given the difficult economic environment during fiscal 2003, these achievements represent a major success.”

“Following the volume declines of the past year, which were substantially driven by currency translation, our goal in fiscal 2004 is to restore growth and win market share,” Pierer said. “As a number of our Groups have demonstrated, we are well positioned for this effort, with our clear customer focus, strength in innovation, global competitiveness, and sound financial condition. These qualities also create the basis for double-digit percentage growth in net income for fiscal 2004, assuming generally stable economic conditions.”

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, Siemens reported net income of 2.445 billion and earnings per share of 2.75. Fiscal 2002 included a tax-free gain of 936 million on sales of shares in Infineon Technologies AG, which boosted net income in that period to 2.597 billion and earnings per share to 2.92. Excluding the Infineon gain, net income rose 47% year-over-year from 1.661 billion. The major component of this improvement was growth in Group profit from Operations, which climbed 14% to 4.295 billion for the year. Group profit margins rose at 10 of the 13 Groups in Operations and at Siemens Financial Services (SFS). Losses related to Siemens’ ownership of Infineon decreased and positive effects from Corporate Treasury also contributed to net income growth for the year.

Net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.773 billion in fiscal 2003 compared to 4.754 billion a year earlier, a period which included significant net proceeds from portfolio activities. Within Operations, net cash provided by operating activities was 4.123 billion compared to 4.277 billion in the prior year. Both periods included supplemental cash contributions to Siemens pension trusts, totaling 1.192 billion and 1.782 billion in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. In fiscal 2003, net cash used in investing activities of 3.939 billion included 929 million to acquire the industrial turbine businesses of Alstom S.A., and 957 million in increases in investments and marketable securities.

Sales of 74.233 billion and orders of 75.056 billion reflected macroeconomic conditions, the strong decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro during the fiscal year, and the net effects of acquisitions and dispositions compared to fiscal 2002. Excluding currency and portfolio effects (i.e., on a comparable basis), sales and orders were within 4% and 5%, respectively, of prior-year levels. Against this backdrop, a number of Siemens’ earnings leaders increased both sales and orders year-over-year on a comparable basis, including Medical Solutions (Med), Automation and Drives (A&D), Siemens VDO Automotive (SV), and Osram.

Siemens worldwide results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, net income rose sharply, to 724 million from 53 million a year earlier, and earnings per share were 0.81, up from 0.06 in the same period a year earlier. The driver again was strong growth in Group profit from Operations, which climbed to 1.102 billion from 707 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. A majority of the Groups improved their bottom lines year-over-year, including a return to profitability at Information and Communication Networks (ICN). Fourth-quarter sales of 19.778 billion were within 2% of prior-year levels on a comparable basis, while fourth-quarter orders of 18.612 billion were 2% higher than a year earlier on a comparable basis. Sales grew 14% compared to the immediately prior quarter, on the strength of double-digit percentage increases at the majority of the Groups. Orders increased 8% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2003. Net cash from operating activities was 2.402 billion for the fourth quarter, after Siemens made a supplemental cash pension contribution of 750 million. Net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.246 billion, including 424 million to complete the Alstom acquisition.

in the discussions that follow, “comparable basis” and “comparable change” refer to comparison excluding the effects of currency translation and the net effects of acquisitions and dispositions

In the Information and Communications business area, ICN improved its performance despite ongoing market challenges. The positive trend was particularly evident in the fourth quarter, when ICN posted Group profit of 57 million compared to a loss of 325 million in the same period a year earlier. The Enterprise Networks and Carrier Networks and Services businesses both contributed positive earnings in the fourth quarter. For the year as a whole, ICN cut its loss to 366 million from 691 million in fiscal 2002, a period that benefited from gains on asset sales and a divestment, partially offset by an asset impairment. Charges for severance in fiscal 2003 were substantially lower than in the prior fiscal year. Sales of 7.122 billion and orders of 7.070 billion reflect the overall contraction in the telecom market year-over-year. At the division level, the Carrier Networks and Services business substantially reduced its loss and recorded sales of 3.455 billion for the year. Enterprise Networks reported progressively higher profits in all four quarters, and more than doubled its profit year-over-year. The division benefited primarily from a streamlined cost structure, and also from higher market demand for lease sales.

Group profit at ICM rose to 180 million in fiscal 2003, including charges for severance comparable in amount to the prior year. Sales of 9.964 billion and orders of 9.960 billion reflected the continuing decline in the wireless infrastructure market. Handset sales at Mobile Phones surged to 39.1 million units from 33.3 million units a year earlier on strong demand for new products and sales rose 5% to 4.474 billion for the year. Earnings of 27 million were down from 82 million a year earlier, as increased competition drove a reduction in average selling price per unit, and a separately branded handset line incurred operating losses and charges to inventory. The Cordless Products business again made a significant contribution to ICM’s Group profit. Mobile Networks recorded earnings of 116 million, as charges for severance were more than offset by positive resolutions of customer financing risks and recorded sales of 4.311 billion. Fourth-quarter Group profit for ICM rose to 49 million from 24 million a year earlier. Within that total, Mobile Networks increased its profit to 60 million on sales of 1.078 billion. Handset sales in the fourth quarter at Mobile Phones rose to 12.0 million units from 7.8 million in the same period a year earlier, resulting in sales of 1.260 billion. Fourth-quarter profits of 14 million did not reach prior-year levels, however, as the period included most of the impacts related to the handset line mentioned above. Fourth-quarter sales for ICM overall were 2.619 billion, nearly level with the same period a year earlier, while fourth-quarter orders rose 12% year-over-year, to 2.838 billion, on strong handset orders.

SBS posted a Group profit of 13 million for the fiscal year compared to 101 million in fiscal 2002. The decline primarily reflects 77 million in charges for risks associated with a long-term business process outsourcing contract in the U.K. Sales of 5.205 billion and orders of 5.226 billion reflect relative weakness in the IT consulting market year-over-year, as well as pricing pressure in the IT maintenance and outsourcing markets. The charge referred to above occurred in the fourth quarter, resulting in a loss for the period of 41 million on sales of 1.317 billion.

In the Automation and Control business area, A&D was again a standout among Siemens Groups, increasing Group profit 11% year-over-year to 806 million, further improving its Group profit margin to 9.6%, and strengthening its market position. Sales of 8.375 billion and orders of 8.476 billion each rose 2% year-over-year on a comparable basis, as A&D continued to balance its business base with growth in the Asia-Pacific region and market-share gains in Europe. Group profit rose quarter by quarter throughout the year, reaching 240 million in the fourth quarter. A&D’s Group profit margin of 10.5% in the fourth quarter enabled it to increase Group profit 10% over the prior-year quarter. On a comparable basis, sales and orders were nearly level with the prior year.

I&S significantly improved its bottom line, posting a Group loss of 41 million compared to a loss of 198 million a year earlier, in part due to lower charges for severance and capacity adjustments. Sales of 4.012 billion and orders of 3.955 billion reflected a continuing contraction in the market for industrial solutions. In the fourth quarter, I&S recorded a loss of 17 million compared to a loss of 129 million in the same period a year ago, which included significantly higher charges for severance and capacity adjustments. While fourth-quarter sales were lower year-over-year, fourth-quarter orders rose 5% on a comparable basis.

SD posted a Group loss of 218 million for the year, compared to Group profit of 45 million in fiscal 2002. A substantial increase in loss provisions and charges related to two large contracts in Europe was the key factor in this result, together with other charges. On a comparable basis, sales of 2.600 billion were within 4% of the prior-year level, and orders were 2% higher at 2.599 billion. The Postal Automation Division increased its profit and earnings margin and won large orders from the U.S. Postal Service, while the Electronics Assembly Systems Division narrowed its loss year-over-year and restored sales growth in its large pick-and-place equipment business on a breakeven basis. Most of the increased provisions and charges mentioned above were recorded in the fourth quarter, resulting in a loss of 178 million compared to a profit of 10 million in the same period a year ago. On a comparable basis, fourth-quarter sales rose 4% and orders jumped 41%, respectively, over the same period a year earlier.

Group profit at SBT was 101 million for the fiscal year, which included significantly higher charges for severance taken to realign the Group’s workforce with market conditions. Group profit a year earlier was 195 million. Sales of 4.990 billion and orders of 4.775 billion reflect weak demand in SBT’s markets, plus six percentage points due to currency effects. Fourth-quarter results were in line with the year as a whole. Group profit was 38 million compared to 87 million a year earlier, due in part to lower sales of 1.400 billion.

In fiscal 2003, PG increased the percentage of its revenues and profits coming from services, acquired the industrial turbine businesses of Alstom to complement its existing large turbine business, and further diversified its business base. The negative demand trend in the U.S. market continues to affect comparison of PG’s sales and orders with prior periods, and currency translation effects further reduced reported volumes.

PG maintained its Group profit margin at the same level as a year earlier, however, in part due to higher net gains on customer cancellations and lower severance charges compared to fiscal 2002. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, PG posted Group profit of 221 million compared to 354 million in the same period a year earlier. Sales and orders of 1.961 billion and 1.223 billion, respectively, were lower than in the same quarter a year earlier but declined at a more modest pace than for the full year. The Group’s order backlog stood at 14.3 billion at year-end, comparable to the level in recent quarters.

PTD delivered 207 million in Group profit compared to 109 million a year earlier, generated particularly at the High Voltage and Medium Voltage divisions. Fiscal 2002 Group profit included a 54 million loss on the sale of the Group’s Metering division in the fourth quarter. On a comparable basis, sales of 3.399 billion and orders of 3.586 billion were within 2% and 3%, respectively, of prior-year levels. PTD’s Group profit and Group profit margin in the fourth quarter rose sharply year-over-year, to 65 million and 7.4%, respectively. While fourth-quarter sales were below the level a year earlier, fourth-quarter orders surged 21% over the prior year on a comparable basis.

In the Transportation business area, TS increased its Group profit 15%, to 284 million, despite having to take higher warranty provisions. Sales for the year rose to 4.697 billion, as TS converted large orders from prior years into current business. Orders for the year of 4.674 billion included large new rolling stock contracts in China, England, Norway, and Switzerland as well as major new maintenance contracts in the U.K. Both Group profit and sales hit high points for the year in the fourth quarter, with Group profit reaching 78 million despite higher warranty charges and sales rising 15% year-over-year, on a comparable basis, to 1.416 billion. Fourth-quarter orders rose 7% year-over-year on a comparable basis, and the Group’s order backlog remained steady at 11.2 billion.

SV accelerated to Group profit of 418 million for the year compared to 65 million a year earlier. The Group’s innovative diesel injection and onboard infotainment systems were major factors in the earnings improvement. SV’s profitability improvement program also contributed to earnings growth, as the Group cut materials costs, streamlined its R&D and production processes, and tightened administrative and IT spending. As a result, SV increased its Group profit margin from 0.8% in fiscal 2002 to 5.0% in fiscal 2003, though it still fell short of earning its cost of capital.

Sales and orders of 8.375 billion rose 8% year-over-year on a comparable basis, particularly related to the transfer of parts of SV’s automotive cockpit module business to a joint venture in the third quarter. Fourth-quarter Group profit reached 115 million compared to a loss of 15 million a year earlier. On a comparable basis, fourth-quarter sales and orders rose 7% year-over-year.

In the Medical business area, Med increased its Group profit 10%, to 1.118 billion, and its Group profit margin climbed above 15% for the year. Innovative new products, particularly for diagnostic imaging applications, again led the way. Group profit benefited also from a 63 million gain related to the contribution of a portion of Med’s electromedical systems business to a new joint venture, Draeger Medical, in the third quarter. The divestment of the remaining portion of the electromedical systems business, announced in the fourth quarter, did not take effect until after the close of the fiscal year. On a comparable basis, sales rose 7% to 7.422 billion and orders increased 3% to 7.835 billion from a year earlier, as Med continued to find growth opportunities in the highly competitive U.S. market. Med’s fourth-quarter Group profit was 286 million compared to 301 million a year earlier. Fourth-quarter sales and orders were up 5% and 6%, respectively, from the levels a year earlier on a comparable basis.

In the Lighting business area, Osram generated 410 million in Group profit, a 12% increase over the prior year, and improved its Group profit margin still further, to nearly 10%. Steadily increasing profitability at the Opto Semiconductors Division was a key factor in earnings growth, and stringent cost containment helped offset intense pricing pressure. Sales and orders grew 6% year-over-year on a comparable basis, to 4.172 billion, as the General Lighting Division strengthened its market position in the U.S. and the Group expanded its business in the Asia-Pacific region and eastern Europe. Fourth-quarter Group profit rose 11% year-over-year, to 105 million, on a 10.3% Group profit margin. Fourth-quarter sales and orders rose 4% year-over-year on a comparable basis.

Other operations consist of centrally held equity investments and other operating businesses not related to a Group, such as Siemens’ joint ventures with Bosch (for household appliances) and Fujitsu (for computers). In fiscal 2003, higher contributions from these joint ventures resulted in Group profit from other operations of 212 million in fiscal 2003 compared to 99 million in the prior year.

Corporate items, pensions and eliminations
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations were a negative 1.576 billion in fiscal 2003, compared to a negative 1.282 billion in the same period a year earlier. Within this total, Corporate items were 747 million, down from 947 million in the prior year, due primarily to a lower loss related to Siemens’ equity interest in Infineon, the positive resolution of an arbitration proceeding and reduced corporate costs. Non-allocated pension expense was higher in fiscal 2003, at 828 million compared to 250 million a year earlier, while fiscal 2002 included 133 million in gains on the sale of investments. In the fourth quarter, Corporate items, pensions, and eliminations were a negative 320 million, compared to a negative 531 million a year earlier. This change primarily reflects the effect of Siemens’ equity interest in Infineon, which was a positive 17 million in fiscal 2003 compared to a negative 204 million year earlier.

SRE earned 206 million before income taxes compared to 229 million a year earlier, as lower interest costs were more than offset by the effects of lower occupancy rates. Sales edged down 1% to 1.592 billion. While sales in the fourth quarter were nearly unchanged year-over-year, income before income taxes for the period rose to 19 million from 9 million a year earlier primarily due to lower maintenance expenses.

Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
Income before income taxes from Eliminations reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was 266 million, up from a loss in the prior year, which included the significant negative results of Infineon until it was deconsolidated in December 2001. Furthermore, the improvement in the current year results include positive effects from Corporate Treasury. Fourth-quarter income before income taxes in fiscal 2003 for Eliminations, Reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was 122 million.

Income Statement highlights and earnings per share for fiscal 2003
Net sales for Siemens worldwide were 74.233 billion in fiscal 2003 compared to 84.016 billion a year earlier. Net income for Siemens worldwide was 2.445 billion compared to 1.661 billion in fiscal 2002, excluding a 936 million tax-free gain on the sale of shares in Infineon. Including this gain, net income in fiscal 2002 was 2.597 billion.

In Operations, net sales in fiscal 2003 were 73.744 billion compared to 83.127 billion a year earlier, strongly influenced by negative currency translation effects. Gross profit margin increased to 27.7% from 27.4%. Most of the Operations Groups increased their gross margins, led by ICN, PTD, SV and Med. SD’s margin decreased primarily due to increased contract loss accruals taken in the fourth quarter. Research and development expense was 6.9% of sales, near the level in fiscal 2002. Marketing, selling and general administrative expense decreased to 18.0% of sales due to effective cost-cutting programs, particularly at ICN, ICM, I&S, SV and Osram. Other operating income (expense), net was a positive 555 million, including 359 million in net gains from customer cancellations at PG, which are partly offset by inventory allowances recorded in cost of sales. Also included in other operating income (expense) is a 63 million gain arising from Med’s contribution of assets to a joint venture. Other operating income in fiscal 2002 was 326 million, as sales of a business and divestments more than offset a significant impairment charge at ICN.

Income from investments in other companies was a positive 66 million, up from a negative 142 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher earnings from joint ventures and lower losses year-over-year at Infineon, in which Siemens holds an equity interest. Earnings per share for the year were 2.75. Excluding the gain on sales of shares in Infineon referred to above, earnings per share in fiscal 2002 were 1.87.

Orders and sales trends in fiscal 2003
Orders in fiscal 2003 were 75.056 billion compared to 86.214 billion a year earlier, and sales in fiscal 2003 were 74.233 billion compared to 84.016 billion. The declines year-over-year included eight percentage points due to currency and portfolio effects. Orders in Germany in fiscal 2003 were 16.796 billion compared to 17.812 billion the same period a year earlier. Sales in Germany were 17.100 billion compared to 18.102 billion a year earlier. International orders were 58.260 billion compared to 68.402 billion a year earlier, and international sales were 57.133 billion compared to 65.914 billion a year earlier. The declines in international volume year-over-year included nine percentage points due to currency and portfolio effects.

Orders in the U.S. in fiscal 2003 were 14.702 billion compared to 21.205 billion a year earlier. Sales in the U.S. were 15.357 billion compared to 20.288 billion in the prior year, influenced by expected volume declines at PG following the end of the gas turbine energy boom and a negative 14% currency translation effect. Orders in Asia-Pacific in fiscal 2003 were 9.152 billion compared to 10.092 billion and sales were 8.728 billion compared to 9.668 billion a year earlier, influenced by currency and portfolio effects. Sales in China in fiscal 2003 were 2.838 billion compared to 3.223 billion a year earlier, due in large part to the effect of currency translation.

Liquidity and balance sheet highlights for the fiscal year
For Siemens worldwide, net cash from operating and investing activities was 1.773 billion in fiscal 2003 compared to 4.754 billion a year earlier, a period which included significant net proceeds from portfolio activities. Within Operations, net cash provided by operating activities was 4.123 billion compared to 4.277 billion in the prior year. Both periods included supplemental cash contributions to Siemens pension trusts, totaling 1.192 billion and 1.782 billion in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities within Operations was 3.655 billion in fiscal 2003, which includes 929 million for the acquisition of the industrial turbine businesses of Alstom, and 841 million to expand holdings of investments and marketable securities. Net cash used in investing activities within Operations was 250 million in fiscal 2002. That prior-year period included proceeds from sales and dispositions totalling 6.097 billion, including 1.522 billion related to sales of shares of Infineon, partially offset by a 3.657 billion payment to complete the Atecs-Mannesmann acquisition.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by operating activities within the Financing and Real Estate component was 469 million in fiscal 2003, supported by strong earnings at SFS. Investing activities within the Financing and Real Estate component used net cash of 515 million, due in part to increased financing receivables.

Funding Status of Pension Plans
The status of Siemens’ principal pension plans did not change significantly compared to the prior year, remaining underfunded by approximately 5.0 billion. Two offsetting factors contributed to this effect. In the first and fourth quarters, the Company made supplemental contributions of 1.192 billion in cash and 377 million in real estate. Offsetting this effect was an increase in the projected benefit obligation of the plans as a result of a reduction in the plan’s weighted average discount rates from 6.0% to 5.4% associated with the general decline in interest rates worldwide. This in turn increased the projected benefit obligation of Siemens’ pension plans by 1.4 billion.

Economic Value Added
Siemens worldwide realized a positive economic value added (EVA) of 449 million in fiscal 2003, an improvement of 768 million compared to the prior year amount of a negative 319 million, excluding a 936 million tax-free gain on the sale of shares in Infineon. Including this gain, EVA for fiscal 2002 was a positive 617 million.

Subsequent events
After the close of fiscal 2003, in October 2003 Med completed the sale of its life support systems business to Getinge AB, of Sweden. Also in October 2003 Siemens made additional supplemental cash pension contributions to its pension trusts of 1.255 billion.

Note: Please see attached a reconciliation of the calculation of Economic Value Added.

EVA performance

     Siemens ties a portion of its executive incentive compensation to achieving economic value added (EVA) targets. EVA measures the profitability of a business (using Group profit for the Operating Groups and income before income taxes for the Financing and Real estate businesses as a base) against the additional cost of capital used to run a business, (using Net capital employed for the Operating Groups and risk-adjusted equity for the Financing and Real estate businesses as a base). A positive EVA means that a business has earned more than its cost of capital, and is therefore defined as value-creating. A negative EVA means that a business is earning less than its cost of capital and is therefore defined as value-destroying. Other organizations that use EVA may define and calculate EVA differently.

A reconciliation of EVA follows.
