  Earnings Release
Munich, January 24, 2008
Growth and Group Profit on Track
Group profit from Operations grows 2X organic revenue growth
One-time gain from SV sale boosts net income and EPS
Siemens in the first quarter 2008 (October 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007)
    Net income of 6.475 billion benefited from approximately 5.4 billion related to the sale of Siemens VDO Automotive (SV). EPS for the first quarter was 7.04 compared to 0.83 in the same period a year earlier.
    Income from continuing operations was 1.078 billion, up 74% from 621 million in the prior-year period. Continuing EPS rose to 1.14 from 0.65.
    Group profit from Operations rose 16% year-over-year, to 1.719 billion, as a majority of Groups combined higher profitability with rising revenue.
    Revenue climbed 10%, to 18.400 billion, and orders increased 9%, to 24.242 billion. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of portfolio transactions and currency translation, both revenue and orders rose 8% compared to the prior-year quarter.
    Siemens completed two major portfolio transactions, including the sale of SV which generated net proceeds of approximately 11.4 billion within discontinued operations and the purchase of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. with associated cash outflows of approximately 4.8 billion.
“Siemens’ strong fundamental growth opportunities remain in place, as shown by our organic revenue growth of 8% and a book-to-bill ratio above 1.3 in the first quarter,” commented Siemens’ CEO Peter Löscher. “We confirm our outlook for the full fiscal year: growing revenues at least twice as fast as global GDP and growing Group Profit from Operations at least twice as fast our revenues.”
“We are moving forward on executing our strategic agenda. With today’s announcement of ambitious margin targets for our Industry and Energy sectors, and for all our divisions, we continue to raise performance goals with increased accountability.”
Income and Group Profit
Net income primarily reflects the sale of Siemens’ automotive business. Net income was 6.475 billion compared to 788 million in the first quarter a year earlier, resulting in EPS of 7.04 compared to 0.83 a year earlier. The increase includes higher income from continuing operations as noted below. Net income also benefited from 5.397 billion in income from discontinued operations, primarily due to the closing of the sale of SV. A year earlier, discontinued operations contributed 167 million to net income in the first quarter. More information on discontinued operations is included below.

Income from continuing operations rose sharply year-over-year. Income from continuing operations was 1.078 billion, 74% higher compared to 621 million in the first quarter a year earlier. The two primary factors in this increase were higher Group profit from Operations and lower central costs related to legal and regulatory matters. In particular, the prior-year period included a non-tax-deductible penalty of 423 million related to an earlier EU antitrust investigation involving major manufacturers of gas-isolated switchgear. Siemens’ Financing and Real Estate activities contributed 216 million in income before income tax in the first quarter, up from 152 million a year ago. Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations in the first quarter rose to 1.14 from 0.65 in the prior-year period.
Group profit from Operations climbed on rising revenue and improved profitability. The majority of Groups in Operations increased both Group profit and Group profit margin compared to the first quarter a year ago, taking Group profit from Operations up 16% year-over-year, to 1.719 billion. As a general trend, the increase was due to operating leverage combined with rising revenue. Leaders in this regard were Automation and Drives (A&D), Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) and Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD), which achieved high double-digit growth in Group profit compared to the first quarter a year earlier. Group profit declined at Power Generation (PG) and Transportation Systems (TS), as both Groups took higher charges at major projects compared to the prior-year period. Group profit from Operations in the current period includes a 70 million impairment within Other Operations, related to a regional business that is held for disposal.
Discontinued operations included a substantial gain from the sale of SV. Discontinued operations in the first quarter consisted of SV and activities from the former Communications Group (Com). SV was sold during the quarter, leaving the Com activities consisting primarily of enterprise networking activities that are held for disposal. In the current quarter, income from discontinued operations was 5.397 billion compared to 167 million in the same period a year earlier. The difference is due mainly to approximately 5.4 billion related to SV, including operating results along with a substantial gain on the sale of the business. The result for Com activities in the first quarter was a negative 51 million, including an impairment of long-lived assets as well as expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters. The result in the prior-year quarter was a positive 94 million, due primarily to profitable carrier activities from Com that were transferred into Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN) between the periods under review.
Revenue and Orders
Siemens achieved strong organic growth with good business balance. Nearly all Groups within Operations increased their revenue on an organic basis compared to the first quarter a year earlier. Groups with double-digit increases included A&D, PTD, PG and I&S. Similarly, a majority of Groups booked a higher level of new orders year-over-year, led by PG and A&D with first-quarter orders of 5.892 billion and 4.783 billion, respectively. From a geographic perspective, topline growth was regionally balanced. The exception was Germany, where revenue and orders came in lower year-over-year primarily due to a high basis of comparison in the prior-year period, particularly involving PG.

Cash, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and Pension Funding Status
Portfolio activities generated substantial cash flows. Net proceeds from the sale of SV amounted to approximately 11.4 billion during the first quarter, and cash payments related to Med’s acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings, Inc. (Dade Behring) totaled approximately 4.8 billion (net of 68 million cash acquired).
Free cash flow improved compared to the prior-year quarter. Free cash flow from continuing operations for the first quarter improved to a negative 217 million compared to a negative 360 million in the same quarter a year earlier. Within this change, free cash flow from the Groups in Operations improved to 680 million from 6 million in the prior-year period. The cash conversion rate for continuing operations in the current quarter was a negative 0.20.
ROCE for the first quarter was 11.6%. A year earlier, ROCE in the same period was 9.3%. As expected, ROCE development in the current period was affected by a substantial increase in capital employed stemming from major acquisitions completed in the current quarter and in fiscal 2007. This effect will continue in coming quarters.
Pension funding status improved. The estimated underfunding of Siemens’ principal pension plans as of December 31, 2007, amounted to approximately 0.5 billion compared to an underfunding of approximately 1.0 billion at the end of fiscal 2007.

Expenses for compliance investigations
Siemens incurred 127 million in expenses in the first quarter for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities. The total for continuing operations was 93 million, with the remaining 34 million related to discontinued operations. More information regarding these matters is provided in the document “Legal Proceedings.”

Group profit at A&D jumped 46% over the prior-year first quarter, to 655 million, including a 36 million gain on the sale of a business. The Group achieved significant operating leverage on expanded revenue, resulting in particularly strong earnings increases at divisions including Industrial Automation, Motion Control Systems, Large Drives, Mechanical Drives, and Low Voltage Controls and Distribution. Group profit includes purchase price accounting (PPA) effects and integration costs associated with UGS Corp. (UGS), which A&D acquired between the periods under review, and Flender Holding GmbH (Flender), acquired in fiscal 2005. PPA effects amounted to 58 million and integration costs totaled 5 million in the current period. These impacts together sliced 150 basis points from Group profit margin for the quarter. For comparison, PPA and integration costs associated with Flender in the prior-year quarter totaled 10 million. A&D’s competitive strength was evident in topline growth, including a 21% increase in revenue year-over-year and orders of 4.783 billion, up 19% to a record high. These results include new volume from UGS.

I&S opened fiscal 2008 with a strong first quarter. Group profit of 121 million was 34% higher than in the same period a year earlier, highlighted by higher earnings in the Metal Technologies, Industrial Services, Oil, Gas, Marine Solutions and Infrastructure Logistics divisions. The latter division includes the Group’s airport logistics and postal automation businesses, which were merged effective with the beginning of the current quarter. For I&S overall, first-quarter revenue rose 9% year-over-year. Orders increased 8% compared to the strong first quarter a year earlier, as both periods included a number of major contract wins.

Osram contributed 126 million in Group profit in the first quarter, primarily on strong performances in the General Lighting and Automotive Lighting divisions. Demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions contributed to topline growth, taking first-quarter revenue and orders higher year-over-year despite negative currency translation effects. During the quarter Osram received regulatory approval to expand its manufacturing capacity in China, which is expected to enable the Group to better meet growing demand from high-growth markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

Group profit at TS in the first quarter included charges of 32 million for Combino. For comparison, charges at major projects in the prior-year quarter were more than offset by a 76 million net gain on the sale of the Group’s locomotive leasing business. Revenue of 1.048 billion came in 2% lower than the prior-year level. First-quarter orders climbed 18% year-over-year, to 1.440 billion, on a higher number of major orders.

First-quarter Group profit at PG was 135 million compared to 169 million in the prior-year quarter. Revenue rose 9% year-over-year and orders reached 5.892 billion, a 17% increase from an already high basis of comparison in the prior-year period. PG’s fossil services, wind power, and oil, gas and industrial applications businesses each delivered higher earnings and higher profit margins compared to the first quarter a year earlier. They also accounted for the Group’s topline growth, highlighted by PG’s largest-ever offshore wind farm order, in Denmark, and a major power modernization project in Russia. In contrast, the fossil power solutions business posted a substantial loss on lower revenue. This was due primarily to more than 200 million in charges involving a number of large projects, including a new power generation system in Finland. For comparison, the fossil solutions business posted a smaller loss on lower charges in the same period a year earlier. Equity investment income contributed 15 million to PG’s Group profit compared to 21 million in the prior-year quarter, with the portion related to Areva NP unchanged year-over-year. PG expects volatility in equity investment earnings in coming quarters.

PTD delivered Group profit of 204 million for the first quarter, a 57% jump year-over-year. Higher revenue enabled all divisions within PTD to increase their earnings, and increased operating leverage lifted Group profit margin into double-digit territory. In a strong global market for secure, high-efficiency power transmission and distribution, PTD posted a 13% increase in revenue compared to the prior-year quarter. Orders for the quarter came in well above revenue, but below the prior-year level which included a 700 million contract in the Middle East.

Med’s Group profit grew to 332 million in the first quarter, a rise of 9% compared to the prior-year period. The increase benefited from the Diagnostics division, which closed its acquisition of Dade Behring and reported earnings of 67 million on revenue of 712 million in the first quarter. Group profit includes PPA effects totaling 51 million and integration costs of 35 million associated with Dade Behring and other Diagnostics acquisitions. These effects in turn sliced 320 basis points from Med’s Group profit margin for the quarter. For comparison, PPA and integration costs associated with the Diagnostics division in the prior-year quarter totaled 14 million. Med’s imaging and IT business sustained its profitability year-over-year. Revenue and orders rose 26% and 27%, respectively, as Med more than offset strong negative currency translation effects and a significantly weaker market in the U.S. with substantial new volume from acquisitions.

SIS posted 70 million in Group profit, benefiting from an improved cost structure. Revenue rose compared to the first quarter a year earlier. Orders came in below the prior-year level, which contained a higher number of large contracts.
Strategic Equity Investments (SEI)
SEI includes results at equity from three companies in which Siemens holds a strategic equity stake: Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN), BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH), and Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) B.V. (FSC). SEI contributed equity investment income of 26 million in the first quarter compared to 52 million in the same period a year earlier. The change year-over-year was due largely to NSN, which was formed between the periods under review and therefore not included in the prior-year result. Restructuring and integration programs resulted in 120 million in charges at NSN. As a result, Siemens incurred an equity investment loss of 37 million related to NSN.

Other Operations
Other Operations consist of centrally held business activities, shared services and other costs not allocated to a Group. The result of Other Operations in the current period was a negative 50
million compared to a positive 22 million in the first quarter a year earlier. The difference is due primarily to a goodwill impairment of 70 million related to a regional business classified during the quarter as held for disposal. Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices (SHC) posted first-quarter Group profit of 14 million, up slightly year-over-year. Revenue for Other Operations declined to 708 million from 800 million in the first quarter a year earlier, including lower revenue at SHC year-over-year and the sale of a business between the periods under review.
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations totaled a negative 307 million in the first quarter, compared to a negative 658 million in the prior-year quarter. The major factor in the change was Corporate items, which improved to a negative 328 million from a negative 631 million a year ago due primarily to lower costs for legal and regulatory matters. In particular, the prior-year period included a non-tax-deductible penalty of 423 million related to an earlier EU antitrust investigation involving major suppliers of gas-isolated switchgear. The current period included 93 million in costs for outside advisors engaged by Siemens in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities. Centrally carried pension expense swung to a positive 23 million from a negative 25 million in the first quarter a year ago, which included a one-time charge resulting from a change in German law.

Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
Income before income taxes from Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate treasury was 10 million in the first quarter compared to 46 million in the same period a year earlier. The difference was mainly due to negative results from hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting.
All figures are preliminary and unaudited. This Earnings Release should be read in conjunction with information Siemens published today regarding legal proceedings. More detailed disclosure regarding legal proceedings is provided in the Annual Report.

Munich, January 24, 2008
Legal proceedings — First Quarter of Fiscal 2008
As previously reported, public prosecutors and other government authorities in jurisdictions around the world are conducting investigations of Siemens and certain of our current and former employees regarding allegations of public corruption, including criminal breaches of fiduciary duty including embezzlement, as well as bribery, money laundering and tax evasion, among others. These investigations involve allegations of corruption at a number of Siemens’ business Groups.
For more information regarding these and other legal proceedings in which Siemens is involved, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential financial impact on the Company, please refer to Siemens’ Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 and its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 (Form 20-F), and, in particular, the information contained in “Item 3: Key Information — Risk Factors”, “Item 4: Information on the Company — Legal Proceedings”, “Item 5: Operating Financial Review and Prospects”, and “Item 15: Controls and Procedures” of the annual report on Form 20-F.
Developments regarding investigations and legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of Siemens’ annual report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 include:
    Authorities in Nigeria have conducted searches of the premises of Siemens Ltd. Nigeria in connection with an investigation into alleged illegal payments to Nigerian public officials between 2002 and 2005. According to press accounts, the Nigerian government has announced that it will suspend dealings with Siemens pending the results of the investigation.
 
    On December 11, 2007, the Norwegian public prosecutor’s office conducted a search of Siemens AS Norway’s offices as well as several private homes in connection with payments made by Siemens for golf trips in 2003 and 2004, which were attended by members of the Norwegian Department of Defense. In light of this and the previously reported investigation of allegations of bribery and overcharging of the Department of Defense related to the awarding of a contract for the delivery of communication equipment, the Department of Defense has announced that it will not conduct further business with Siemens at this time.
 
    The public prosecutor in Milan is investigating allegations as to whether two employees of Siemens S.p.A. made illegal payments to employees of the state-owned gas and power group ENI. In November 2007, the public prosecutor filed charges against the two employees, Siemens S.p.A. and one of its subsidiaries, as well as against other individuals and companies not affiliated with Siemens.
 
    Authorities in Russia have conducted a search of Siemens premises in Ekaterinenburg and Moscow in connection with an investigation into alleged embezzlement of public funds when awarding contracts to Siemens for the delivery of medical equipment to public authorities in Ekaterinenburg in the years 2003 to 2005. An employee of Siemens Russia has been arrested in connection with this investigation.
 
    Siemens has been contacted by representatives of regional development banks, including the Inter-American Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank regarding anti-corruption inquiries and other matters of relevance to them.

    As previously reported, in connection with the investigation relating to an agreement entered into by Siemens with an entity controlled by the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhäniger Betriebsangehöriger), in April 2007, a former member of the Managing Board was arrested and subsequently posted bail in the amount of 5 million and was released from custody. In connection with the posting of bail, a bank issued a bond (Bankbürgschaft) in the amount of 5 million, 4.5 million of which was guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the provisions of German law. The warrant associated with the arrest of the former member of the Managing Board has since been revoked and the bank bond, as well as the Company’s guarantee thereof, has been released.
 
    Debevoise & Plimpton LLP has reported that it is investigating leads generated by the Company’s amnesty program, as well as other sources.
 
    On January 4, 2008, the Competition Authority of Slovakia imposed a fine of 3.3 million on Siemens and VA Tech in connection with an investigation into possible anti-trust violations in the market for high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. We have filed an appeal against this decision.
 
    In December 2007, a suit and motion for approval of a class action was filed in Israel to commence a class action based on the fines imposed by the European Commission for alleged anti-trust violations in connection with high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear. Thirteen companies have been named as defendants in the suit and motion, among them Siemens AG Germany, Siemens AG Österreich (Austria) und Siemens Israel Ltd. The class action alleges damages to electricity consumers in Israel in the amount of approximately 575 million related to higher electricity prices claimed to have been paid because of the alleged anti-trust violations. The court has not yet ruled on the motion for approval of the class action.
The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions around the world. As a result, additional criminal or civil sanctions could be brought against the Company itself or against certain of its employees in connection with possible violations of law, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In addition, the scope of pending investigations may be expanded and new investigations commenced in connection with allegations of bribery and other illegal acts. The Company’s operating activities, financial results and reputation may also be negatively affected, particularly due to imposed penalties, fines, disgorgements, compensatory damages, the formal or informal exclusion from public procurement contracts or the loss of business licenses or permits. In addition to the amounts previously reported, including the fine imposed by the Munich district court, no material charges or provisions for any such penalties, fines, disgorgements or damages have been recorded or accrued as management does not yet have enough information to reliably estimate such amounts. We expect that we will need to record expenses and provisions in the future for penalties, fines or other charges, which could be material, in connection with the investigations. We will also have to bear the costs of continuing investigations and related legal proceedings, as well as the costs of on-going remediation efforts. Furthermore, changes affecting the Company’s course of business or changes to its compliance programs beyond those already taken may be required.
The first quarter of fiscal 2008 included a total of 127 million in expenses for outside advisors engaged by Siemens in connection with the investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities.

Share buyback program
Disclosure according to art. 4 para. 2 of the Regulation (EU) no. 2273/2003
The share buyback program, announced by Siemens Aktiengesellschaft in an ad hoc announcement dated November 7, 2007, will commence on January 28, 2008. Initially, in the time period until the end of April 2008, own shares of the company having a value of approximately EUR 2 billion (without ancillary purchasing costs) shall be repurchased. On the basis of the closing auction share price in the Xetra trading (as of January 23, 2008), this corresponds to a volume of up to approximately 24 Mio. shares. The buyback solely serves the purpose of cancellation and reduction of capital stock and the purpose of fulfilling obligations arising out of stock compensation programs. The Managing Board thus exercises the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft on January 25, 2007 to acquire own shares pursuant to section 71 para. 1 no. 8 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG). It will be decided separately on the repurchase of additional tranches and a separate disclosure will be made.
It will be proposed to the Shareholders’ Meeting of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, to be held today, January 24, 2008, to revoke the resolution adopted by the Shareholders’ Meeting on January 25, 2007 pertaining to the authorization of the Managing Board to acquire own shares pursuant to section 71 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 8 AktG with effect as of March 1, 2008 and to replace it by a new authorization to buy back shares in accordance with section 71 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 8 AktG. In case the existing authorization to buy back shares pursuant to section 71 para. 1 sentence 1 no. 8 AktG is revoked with effect as of March 1, 2008 and replaced by a new one, the share buyback program will be continued on the basis of the new authorization resolution until the end of April 2008.
A bank will be mandated to carry out the buyback making its decisions on the date of acquisition of the shares independently of, and without influence by, the company. During the duration of the buyback the lead management may be transferred to another bank. The buyback shall be conducted at the most favorable terms and safeguarding interests; the shares shall be repurchased on the electronic trading platform of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Xetra) exclusively. The purchase price per reacquired share (without ancillary purchasing costs) may neither exceed nor fall below the market price of a Siemens share, as determined at the opening auction in the Xetra trading on the day of trading, by more than 10%.
The bank will be obligated to observe the trade terms of article 5 of the Regulation no. 2273/2003 of the Commission of December 22, 2003 (EC Reg.) and all relevant applicable provisions, in particular Rule 10b-18 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. According to the EC Reg., no purchase price may be paid that exceeds the price of the last independent trade or the highest current independent bid at the stock exchange where the purchase is carried out. Decisive is the higher of both values. According to the EC Reg., no more than 25 % of the average daily volume of shares at the stock exchange where the purchase is carried out will be acquired. The average volume of shares is based on the average daily volume traded in the 20 trading days preceding the specific date of purchase.
The share buyback program may be suspended and be resumed at any time if this in compliance with the legal provisions.
The transactions will be announced in a way complying with the requirements of art. 4 para. 4 EC Reg. at the latest on the seventh trading day following their execution.
Furthermore, Siemens Aktiengesellschaft will report on the progress of share buyback regularly under www.siemens.com/ir.

Siemens sets ambitious target ranges for Sectors and Divisions
Löscher: “We want to catch up with the best in profit margins.”
As part of the company’s reorganization, the Siemens Managing Board has set target margin ranges for the Industry and Energy Sectors as well as for 14 Divisions, significantly raising the targets for company operations. For the Industry Sector, the target range lies at 9 to 13 percent, compared to 9 to 11 percent in the past. For the Energy Sector, the target range lies at 11 to 15 percent, compared to 9 to 13 percent previously. The target range for the Healthcare Sector was raised last November to 14 to 17 percent from 13 to 15 percent. “We have set very ambitious goals for ourselves,” said Siemens President and CEO Peter Löscher. “On the basis of these targets for our operations, we want to catch up with our best competitors in profit margins.”
Measures such as exploiting synergies, further improving global competitiveness and strengthening the company’s innovation leadership will help Siemens reach its targets. Among the measures for improving cost efficiency is the program with which Siemens will reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses 10 to 20 percent by 2010. “We want to position all of our businesses in leading market positions as quickly as possible, also in regard to profit. That is the basis for sustained profitable growth on the Sector and Division levels,” said Löscher. Compared to the margin ranges in the old organizational structure, the upper targets of the ranges were raised for 10 of the company’s 14 Divisions that are reported. The target ranges are part of the company’s “Fit4 2010” program, which was comprehensively revised on the occasion of Siemens’ reorganization.
Industry Sector: Target range 9 to 13 percent
The target range for the Industry Sector lies at 9 to 13 percent. On a comparable basis, targets for the Sector’s business activities were previously revenue-weighted at 9 to 11 percent. In particular, the Industry Automation Division (12 to 17 percent) and the Drive Technology Division (11 to 16 percent) will be key contributors to the Sector’s higher margin expectations. Industry Automation was substantially strengthened in fiscal 2007 with the acquisition of UGS, and profits from the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) business. Drive Technology was strengthened with the acquisitions of Flender and Robicon in the growth market for process industry, as well as for components used in wind power plants. Reflecting the growing demand for energy-efficient building solutions, the target range for Building Technologies now lies at 7 to 10 percent — higher than that of the former Siemens Building Technologies Group. The target ranges for Industry Solutions, Mobility and Osram remain among the most ambitious in their respective industries.

*   New 2010 target range and previous target range in part not directly comparable due to changed organizational structure.
Energy Sector: Target range 11 to 15 percent
The Energy Sector’s target range of 11 to 15 percent is a significant two percentage points higher than the revenue-weighted 9 to 13 percent target range of the former Power Generation (PG) and Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) Groups. The target ranges for the Fossil Power Generation and Renewable Energy Divisions lie clearly above the previous PG margin of 10 to 14 percent. The target ranges for the two Divisions created from PTD are also substantially higher than the former Group’s old range of 7 to 10 percent.

This reflects the positive earnings trend of the former Group as well as the generally strong market environment for power generation and transmission. As is customary with the majority of the company’s competitors, the Siemens margins show a combination of product, project and service business. The earnings effects of the Service Rotating Equipment Division are reflected in the target ranges of Fossil Power Generation and Oil & Gas.

Healthcare Sector: Target range at 14 to 17 percent since November 2007
The margin target range for the former Siemens Medical Solutions Group was already raised to 14 to 17 percent in November 2007, up from the previous 13 to 15 percent. The target range now applies to the new Sector. The Imaging & IT Division, with its target range of 14 to 17 percent, is expected to pull even with its best competitors in the medium term. The Workflow & Solutions Division is generally still being built up in an environment marked by established and strong competitors, and has a target range of 11 to 14 percent. The Diagnostics Division is expected to be especially profitable. Following the acquisitions of DPC, Bayer Diagnostics and, most recently, Dade Behring, the Division is market leader in the field of in-vitro diagnostics. The Diagnostics Division has the company’s highest target range, at 16 to 19 percent.

Siemens IT Solutions and Services and Siemens Financial Services (SFS)
The target ranges for the cross-Sector businesses remain unchanged: 5 to 7 percent for Siemens IT Solutions and Services and 20 to 23 percent (measured on Return on Equity) for SFS.
Siemens will reflect the new company structure for the first time in its third-quarter financial reporting for the current fiscal year.

These statements may be identified by words such as “expects,” “looks forward to,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will,” “project” or words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on our current expectations and certain assumptions, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect our operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For us, particular uncertainties arise, among others, from changes in general economic and business conditions (including margin developments in major business areas); the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; lack of acceptance of new products or services by customers targeted by Siemens; changes in business strategy; the outcome of pending investigations and legal proceedings, especially the corruption investigation we are currently subject to in Germany, the United States and elsewhere; the potential impact of such investigations and proceedings on our ongoing business including our relationships with governments and other customers; the potential impact of such matters on our financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained throughout this report and in our other filings with the SEC, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com, and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Siemens does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.
