2 Adjusted EBIT is defined as income before income taxes, interest income and expenses and other financial income, net, adjusted for portfolio-related measures, severance charges and centrally carried pension service and

administration expenses (only excluded from adjusted EBIT of the segments).

3 Adjusted basic earnings per share are defined as basic earnings per share, adjusted for portfolio-related measures and severance charges, net of tax. 4 Free cash flow comprises the cash flows from operating activities and additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment included in cash flows from investing activities.

Revenue developed very well in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 and rose 13.3 percent on a comparable basis from an already strong prior-year quarter, reaching around €3.9 billion. All segments contributed to this growth. The Diagnostics segment posted outstanding growth, particularly supported by the high demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, while the Imaging segment benefited especially from a significant increase in the Computed Tomography business. From a geographic perspective, the EMEA and Asia, Australia regions recorded double-digit growth rates. On a nominal basis, overall revenue rose around eight percent.

The equipment book-to-bill ratio, i.e. the ratio of new orders to revenue, was at a very good 1.16 in the first quarter.

Adjusted EBIT rose 52 percent from a comparatively weak prior-year quarter to €738 million, translating into an adjusted EBIT margin of 19.1 percent in the first quarter. This figure also included negative currency effects. The strong development occurred against the backdrop of an outstanding margin in the Imaging segment and a significant profitability improvement in Diagnostics.

Net income rose 44 percent year-over-year to €437 million in the first quarter. The tax rate of 28 percent was roughly at the same level as in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted basic earnings per share increased 37 percent to €0.49.

Free cash flow by far more than doubled year-over year and reached €668 million. This was mainly due to the positive earnings development.

2 Year-over-year on a comparable basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects. 3 Prior-year figures adjusted in line with updated definition of adjusted EBIT.

The Imaging segment achieved revenue of more than €2.3 billion in the first quarter, corresponding to a very good growth of more than nine percent from the already strong prior-year quarter. All businesses contributed to this growth in the first quarter, with Computed Tomography posting a particularly significant increase. From a regional perspective, the EMEA and Asia, Australia regions recorded considerable revenue increases on a comparable basis.

The positive revenue development also had a positive effect on the segment's adjusted EBIT margin, which was considerably above the comparatively weak level of the prior-year quarter and reached a very good 23.4 percent. The figure also included minor negative currency effects.

The Diagnostics segment recorded first-quarter revenue of around €1.2 billion, which is a year-over-year increase of around 23 percent on a comparable basis. This outstanding growth was particularly supported by the high demand for rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, which had a positive impact on comparable revenue growth in the EMEA region and particularly in Germany. At the same time, the core business returned to growth.

Against the backdrop of the outstanding revenue development, the segment's adjusted EBIT margin improved significantly compared to the prior-year quarter and reached 11.6 percent.

The adjusted EBIT margin of 18.8 percent was supported by the positive revenue development but adversely impacted by effects in connection with Corindus and markedly negative currency effects of 110 basis points.

First-quarter financial income, net includes expenses in connection with the planned acquisition of Varian Medical Systems, Inc. of €70 million, including €67 million for purchase price hedging and bridge financing cost. The prior-year figure was supported by interest income from an international tax procedure.

Net income rose 44 percent year-over-year to €437 million in the first quarter. The tax rate of 28 percent was roughly at the same level as in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted basic earnings per share increased 37 percent to €0.49. The higher adjustments compared to the prior-year quarter include financing expenses in connection with the planned acquisition of Varian.

Outlook

As a result of the positive developments in the first quarter, ongoing pandemic-related demands and a higher confidence in the normalization of the underlying business, we raise our outlook for fiscal year 2021.

We expect comparable revenue growth between 8% and 12% from fiscal year 2020 (previously 5% to 8%). We expect adjusted basic earnings per share (adjusted for expenses for portfolio-related measures and severance charges, net of tax) to be between €1.63 and €1.82 (previously €1.58 to €1.72; comparable prior-year figure: €1.61).

The expected conversion from the additional revenue to earnings per share will be softened by higher expenses for variable compensation and stronger headwinds from currency effects versus the previous outlook.

The outlook is based on the following assumptions: The rapid COVID-19 antigen test revenue is now expected to be between €300 million and €350 million, versus the previous assumption of about €100 million revenue. Given the dynamic of the pandemic, we assume that the pandemic-related demand will not persist to the same extent through the remaining fiscal year 2021 and beyond. Furthermore, we expect that the investment activity in the U.S. will begin to pick up during the current fiscal year.

The further assumptions of the previous outlook remain unchanged, including the expectation that current and potential future measures to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control will not negatively impact the demand for our products and services. Furthermore, we expect that the environment for routine-care testing continues to improve. The outlook is based on current exchange rate assumptions and excluding portfolio activities. It therefore also does not take into account the planned acquisition of Varian Medical Systems, Inc. The outlook is based on the number of average outstanding shares of the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. In addition, it is assumed that there will be no material change in the valuation of share-based compensation programs that are tied to shares of Siemens AG. The outlook also excludes charges related to legal and regulatory matters.

As they relate to future events or developments, these statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and factors, including, but not limited to those described in the respective disclosures. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or factors materialize, or should underlying expectations not occur or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens Healthineers may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the forward-looking statement.

This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures (financial key performance indicators) that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures).
