Introduction

Siemens Healthineers AG's Half-Year Financial Report complies with the applicable legal requirements of the German Securities Trading Act ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz") and comprises condensed half-year consolidated financial statements, an interim group management report and a responsibility statement in accordance with Section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act.

The Half-Year Financial Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for fiscal year 2019.

A. Interim group management report

A.1 Market development

After the first confirmed appearance of SARS-CoV-2 in China at the end of 2019, the virus spread rapidly, resulting in the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. This development is expected to significantly impact economies worldwide. The situation is still volatile and dynamic, especially as long as the duration of the crisis and respective government reactions and measures, including effectiveness of bail-outprograms and changes to regulatory frameworks, are unclear. Therefore, at this point in time it is not possible to reliably quantify the impact on our addressed markets. We evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our addressed markets on an ongoing basis.

Compared to our assumptions in the 2019 annual report, we expect that market developments will change. Given that hospitals have been asked to free up capacities and resources for potential COVID-19 emergencies, routine and elective procedures are expected to further decrease. Overall it can be assumed that, depending on the further development and duration of the pandemic, investments in capital goods and other medical imaging equipment might be postponed to a later date or be canceled. Consequently, a slower recovery should build up more pent-up market demand. On the other hand, markets for medical devices used to fight COVID-19, could see a slight positive effect on fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 growth. For our addressed Imaging markets, market declines in major modalities, e.g. magnetic resonance systems, are likely. However, we expect an increased interest in equipment and solutions used to diagnose and treat COVID-19, e.g. computed tomography systems, x-ray systems, ultrasound devices and digital solutions, which might counterbalance or outweigh reduced demand for our other Imaging offerings. Within Diagnostics, markets for point-of-care tests to monitor patients and lab tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 and identify antibodies are expected to increase, while at the same time the demand for certain diagnostic reagents, particularly for routine tests, might be reduced as patient volume decreases. Moreover, we expect that the markets for Advanced Therapies will be negatively affected, due to the above mentioned further decrease of routine and elective procedures.

China, being one of our biggest markets and major incremental growth driver, was the first country with a severe SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, leading to a complete shutdown of the country for more than two months. Given that China made rapid progress on fighting COVID-19 due to extensive intervention, it has ended its lockdown phase and is gradually restarting the economy, returning to regular business activity. A certain market recovery, after negative impacts in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, is therefore possible for this fiscal year, however not necessarily at the previous growth levels.

Many countries globally have not achieved a similar COVID-19 pandemic status yet, and are still in forms of lockdown, amongst them our major markets other than China: U.S., Germany and Japan. The length of lockdowns is a determining factor of how economies and our markets might be impacted.

After Europe was the focus of the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the U.S. became the country suffering the most severely from SARS-CoV-2 infections and deaths. It is therefore expected that the U.S. market will see significant slowdowns due to COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the near-term.

Overall, we expect market development in fiscal year 2020 to be more negative compared to what we expected towards the end of fiscal year 2019, with a not unlikely extension even to the next fiscal year. It is yet unclear whether a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic is to be feared.

Siemens Healthineers

Revenue was nominally up by 7% to €7,272 million. On a comparable basis, revenue increased by 4%, due to very strong growth in Advanced Therapies and to strong growth in Imaging. Effects from the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected comparable revenue growth by 2 percentage points.

Currency translation effects gave revenue growth a 2-percentagepoint boost. Compared to the prior fiscal year, portfolio transactions had slight effects on overall revenue development.

Segments

Imaging saw nominal growth in total revenue of 9% to €4,530 million. On a comparable basis, total revenue increased by 6%. In particular, X-Ray Products and Molecular Imaging showed very strong growth. Moreover, Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance contributed strongly to comparable growth. From a geographic perspective, comparable total revenue increased in all three regions with significant growth in EMEA, very strong growth in Asia, Australia and moderate growth in the Americas. Effects of COVID-19 pandemic, for example, such as delays in deliveries and installations, negatively affected revenue growth in a percentage range of low single-digits.

Total revenue in Diagnostics increased nominally by 2% to €2,018 million. On a comparable basis, total revenue was on the level of the previous year. A moderate increase in the Americas was offset by a decline in Asia, Australia and EMEA. Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic lowered revenue growth in a percentage range of low single-digits.

Advanced Therapies saw nominal growth in total revenue of 10% to €825 million. On a comparable basis, revenue increased by 7%, supported by all three regions chiefly including a significant increase in Asia, Australia and a very strong increase in the Americas. Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic lowered revenue growth in a percentage range of low to medium single-digits.

Regions

The strongly increased comparable revenue in EMEA was driven particularly by significant growth in Imaging and strong growth in Advanced Therapies, partly offset by a slight decline in Diagnostics. Germany reported a slight comparable revenue decline. Slight growth in Imaging was outweighed by a decline in Diagnostics and Advanced Therapies.

In the Americas comparable revenue growth increased moderately, primarily due to very strong growth in Advanced Therapies, in particular in the United States, and a moderate increase in Imaging and Diagnostics.

Comparable revenue growth was strong in Asia, Australia due to significant growth in Advanced Therapies and a very strong development in Imaging, partly offset by a clear decline in Diagnostics. China showed significant comparable revenue growth with Advanced Therapies in particular growing substantially.

Siemens Healthineers

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, adjusted EBIT margin declined by 2% to 15.7%. The decline was mainly due to weak EBIT margin development in Diagnostics. This was offset by slightly positive currency effects in the first half of fiscal year 2020. Negative effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic were mainly offset by lower provisions for personnel costs.

Research and development expenses increased by €39 million, or 6%. Besides a continuous renewal of our portfolio and ongoing improvements of existing products and solutions, the increase is based on activities in the field of artificial intelligence. Currency translation effects had a slightly negative impact.

Selling and general administrative expenses grew by €114 million, or 11%. Among other factors, the increase is due to the implementation of the second phase of the Siemens Healthineers Strategy 2025, the so-called Upgrading phase, as well as to integration costs, in particular in Advanced Therapies due to the acquisition of Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (hereinafter "Corindus"). In addition, currency translation effects had a slightly negative impact.

Segments

Imaging's adjusted EBIT margin was 20.2%, slightly below the prior year. Along with higher volumes, profitability also benefited from positive effects from currency translation; these factors were mainly outweighed by a less favorable business mix. Effects from COVID-19 pandemic on adjusted EBIT margin were insignificant.

In Diagnostics, adjusted EBIT margin of 4.8% was clearly below the prior-year level. This was caused mainly by higher ramp-up costs related to Atellica Solution and only minimal revenue growth. A counterbalancing factor was a higher capitalization of internally generated assets. Effects from COVID-19 pandemic on adjusted EBIT margin were insignificant.

Despite dilutive effects from the acquisition of Corindus, Advanced Therapies' adjusted EBIT margin was at 18.9%. It benefited from positive currency effects and higher volume. Effects from COVID-19 pandemic on adjusted EBIT margin were insignificant.

Reconciliation to net income

Due to the acquisition of ECG Management Consultants (hereinafter "ECG") and Corindus, amortization of intangibles assets acquired in business combinations increased to €87 million. Additionally, acquisition-related transaction costs of €11 million were incurred, mainly through the takeover of Corindus.

Financial income, net, improved by €66 million to negative €10 million. The increase resulted mainly from lower interest expenses, following a restructuring of debt in fiscal year 2019 and interest income related to international tax procedures.

Income tax expenses increased by €9 million. The effective income tax rate increased from 27.4% to 28.2%. For additional information to taxes please see Note 5 Income taxes in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

Based on the effects described above, net income declined by €7 million to €719 million.

Cash and cash equivalents 845 920
Receivables from Siemens Group 258 686
Payables to Siemens Group −885 −364
Short-term financial balance 218 1,243

The short-term financial balance changes due to income and expenditures within the scope of operations. The reduction in short-term financial balance was caused mainly by the change in net receivables from and payables to Siemens Group. Despite cash inflows from operations, this figure decreased by €950 million to a net payable of €627 million, chiefly due to the dividend payment of €798 million. In addition, payments for the acquisition of ECG were made through the Siemens Group's cash pooling. For further information to the payments made in connection with the acquisition, please refer to Note 3 Acquisitions in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

Operating net working capital

(in millions of €) Mar 31,
2020
Sept 30,
2019
Trade and other receivables 2,715 2,779
Contract assets 765 839
Inventories 2,389 2,064
Trade payables −1,375 −1,403
Contract liabilities −1,778 −1,741
Operating net working capital 2,715 2,538

Operating net working capital rose by €177 million to €2,715 million despite counterbalancing currency translation effects. This resulted largely from an increase of €325 million in inventories, which was attributable to steps taken to ensure the delivery capability of all segments, particularly in the context of recent economic developments due to COVID-19 pandemic. Inventories of finished goods also increased due to delays in transport and in delivery of products to customers.

Remaining current assets and liabilities

The growth in other current assets arose primarily from higher current income tax assets and an increase in other current financial assets basically due to changes in the value of derivatives.

Remaining current liabilities declined predominantly due to other current liabilities, which decreased by €192 million to €1,044 million. This decline was attributable primarily to bonus payouts for the prior fiscal year. In addition, current income tax liabilities decreased by €86 million to €261 million. In contrast, short-term financial debt and current maturities of long-term financial debt increased by €172 million to €252 million mainly as a consequence of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16, Leases. For additional information regarding the first-time adoption of IFRS 16, please refer to Note 2 Accounting policies in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

Total non-current assets

The increase in non-current assets resulted largely from a rise in goodwill by €871 million to €9,461 million and in other intangible assets by €458 million to €2,034 million. These developments were caused most notably by the acquisitions of Corindus and ECG. Currency translation effects had a counterbalancing impact on goodwill. For additional information to the acquisitions, please refer to Note 3 Acquisitions in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

In addition, property, plant and equipment was up by €395 million, at €2,713 million, mainly because of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16. The increase in other financial assets by €173 million to €511 million resulted mainly from the change in value of hedging instruments for U.S. dollar loans to the Siemens Group.

A reduction arose from a reclassification of deferred tax assets to current income tax receivables due to a change in tax law in the U.S.

Total non-current liabilities

Higher non-current liabilities are primarily a consequence of an increase in other liabilities to Siemens Group by €1,025 million to €5,055 million. This increase was caused chiefly by a loan from the Siemens Group in connection with the acquisition of Corindus amounting to €1.0 billion and maturing end of fiscal year 2021. For additional information to financial debt, please refer to Note 7 Financial instruments in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

In addition, long-term financial debt increased by €201 million to €263 million mainly due to the first-time adoption of IFRS 16. Deferred tax liabilities increased by €199 million to €574 million. Here, deferred tax liabilities recognized in the first-time consolidation of Corindus and ECG had an impact.

Total equity

Equity declined by €161 million primarily due to a decrease in retained earnings, mainly as a result of the following developments: Dividends of €798 million were paid. Besides, written put options on non-controlling interests of ECG reduced retained earnings by €66 million because as of March 31, 2020, the exercise of the options was assumed and treated as a transaction between shareholders. In contrast, net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens Healthineers AG of €712 million increased the retained earnings.

For further details to equity, especially to the development of treasury shares, please see Note 6 Equity in the notes to the halfyear consolidated financial statements.

Credit facilities

The multicurrency revolving credit facility of up to €1.1 billion (September 30, 2019: €1.0 billion) granted by the Siemens Group, which serves as short-term loan facility and to finance net working capital, was extended until January 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2020, it was utilized in the amount of €0.8 billion (September 30, 2019: €0.0 billion).

A.3.2 Cash flows

Free cash flow 327 179

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities grew by €107 million to €572 million. Thereby, the initial application of IFRS 16, Leases, resulted in an increase in reported cash flows from operating activities in the mid double-digit million range with a corresponding decrease in reported cash flows from financing activities. For additional information regarding the first-time adoption of IFRS 16, please refer to Note 2 Accounting policies in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

Cash outflows for the described buildup of inventories rose by €114 million to €342 million. They were counterbalanced by higher cash inflows from asset reductions, including €86 million in contract assets and €68 million in trade and other receivables. In total, cash outflows from the buildup of operating net working capital remained level.

Investing activities

Cash flows from investing activities decreased by €1,306 million to a cash outflow of €1,597 million. This was primarily the result of cash outflows for acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, of €1,349 million, chiefly related to the acquisitions of Corindus and ECG.

Financing activities

Cash flows from financing activities grew by €891 million to a cash inflow of €962 million. Cash inflows from other transactions/financing with Siemens Group increased by €1,066 million to €1,919 million largely due to a loan from the Siemens Group of €1.0 billion in connection with the acquisition of Corindus.

Counterbalancing effects arose from higher cash outflow of €99 million related to dividends paid to shareholders of Siemens Healthineers AG.

The described shift due to the first-time application of IFRS 16 mainly led to €58 million higher cash outflows from a change in short-term debt and other financing activities.

A.4 Outlook

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the assumptions underlying our original forecast for fiscal year 2020 are to a large extent no longer applicable. This applies to both the segments and Siemens Healthineers. Accordingly, the growth targets we originally communicated for comparable revenue growth and adjusted EBIT of the segments and comparable revenue growth and adjusted basic earnings per share of Siemens Healthineers are no longer valid from today's perspective, and are not likely to be achieved.

There are no reliable forecasts for the duration or intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic, or for the associated opportunities and risks. Consequently, from today's point of view, it is not possible to make assumptions related to business development with certainty. For the time being, we will therefore not communicate any specific expectations regarding the development of Siemens Healthineers and its segments for fiscal year 2020.

A.5 Risks and opportunities

In our annual report for fiscal year 2019 we described certain risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, net assets, financial position and results of operations and reputation. In addition, we described our most significant opportunities as well as the design of our risk management system.

Beside the risks and opportunities that we presented in our annual report for fiscal year 2019 we identified the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as a new significant risk during the reporting period. The highly volatile situation and its consequences might expose us to the risk of various negative impacts on our company. Some of the potential key impacts include harm to our employees' health and safety, business interruptions in the form of loss of production due to partial or full closure of sites (such as from delivery delays, supply shortages, delivery limitations or local restrictions), disruption of our outbound logistics (such as from limited logistics capacities), delays in our time to market for certain products or product lifecycles, or changes in installation and service capacities. Other potential key impacts include, but are not limited to, revenue shortfalls for example due to investment shifts, reduced reagent demand in the Diagnostics business, shifts in public funding or financial difficulties of customers. Investment shifts could particularly affect medical imaging equipment. Furthermore, unforeseen expenses could adversely impact our financial position. In order to ensure business operations and reduce business impacts, we initiated a broad spectrum of measures. These include among others protecting our workforce (such as by travel restrictions, home office, staggered work times to enable social distancing, and provision of personal protective equipment), setting up dedicated task forces and a crisis management team led by the managing board, coordinating local response plans, ensuring close coordination with suppliers, securing logistic capacities. At the same time, we utilize, advance and expand our offerings, for example critical diagnostic tests (especially a laboratory-based total antibody test), computed tomography systems, and digital infrastructure solutions (such as remote scanning assistance) to support healthcare providers in treating COVID-19. We continue to observe developments including the easing of pandemic-related restrictions on an ongoing basis in order to quickly identify changes, evaluate potential impacts, assess risks and make adjustments where necessary.

Considering the aspects mentioned above, the most significant risks compared to our 2019 annual report now include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cybersecurity and Changes in regulations, laws and policies.

Additional risks and opportunities not known to us or that we currently consider immaterial could also affect our business operations. At present, no risks have been identified that in their known form either individually or in combination with other risks could endanger our ability to continue as a going concern. Please take note of C.3 Notes and forward-looking statements.

¹ The balance as of September 30, 2019 corresponds to the balance as of October 1, 2019. The first-time adoption of IFRS 16, Leases, does not lead to a change in the reported amounts, please refer to Note 2 Accounting policies in the notes to the half-year consolidated financial statements.

B.6 Notes to half-year consolidated financial statements

Note 1 Basis of presentation

The condensed half-year consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020, present the operations of Siemens Healthineers AG and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, collectively, "Group" or "Siemens Healthineers"). The half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU), in particular in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared and published in millions of euros (€ million).

The results achieved in the interim reporting period are not necessarily indicative of future results. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated significant uncertainties have been considered, where relevant, in accounting estimates and judgments. There is currently no significant risk that the COVID-19 pandemic will lead to material adjustments to the carrying amounts of recognized assets and liabilities in the second half of fiscal year 2020. For further information on impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, on disaggregation of revenue and on segment information, see disclosures in the interim group management report.

The half-year consolidated financial statements are unaudited. They were authorized for issue by the Managing Board of Siemens Healthineers AG on April 29, 2020.

Note 2 Accounting policies

The accounting policies applied for the preparation of the halfyear consolidated financial statements are substantially consistent with those accounting policies applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2019, with the exception of accounting policies which are relevant or applicable for the first time in fiscal year 2020. Income tax expenses are determined in interim reporting periods on the basis of the current estimated annual effective tax rate of Siemens Healthineers for the overall year.

Business combinations

With the acquisition of ECG Management Consultants (hereinafter "ECG"), Siemens Healthineers became a writer of a put option on non-controlling interests. As such, Siemens Healthineers assesses whether the prerequisites for the transfer of present ownership interests are fulfilled at the balance sheet date. If Siemens Healthineers is not the beneficial owner of the shares underlying the put option, the exercise of the put option will be assumed at each balance sheet date and treated as a transaction between shareholders with the corresponding recognition of a purchase liability at the respective exercise price. The non-controlling interests participate in profits and losses during the reporting period.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

IFRS 16, Leases, was adopted for the first time as of October 1, 2019, by applying the modified retrospective approach (using practical and transitional expedients), that is, comparative figures for the preceding year were not adjusted. IFRS 16 introduced a single lessee accounting model (so-called right-of-use model) requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The recognition exemptions for not applying the rightof-use model for leases with a term of twelve months or less or for low-value assets have been exercised. The majority of the transition effect was related to real estate leased by Siemens Healthineers. As of October 1, 2019, additional right-of-use assets of €435 million were recognized in property, plant and equipment, generally measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted by any prepaid or accrued lease payments. In addition, the right-of-use asset was derecognized if the leased asset was subleased under a finance lease to customers. The transition to IFRS 16 had nearly no effect on retained earnings. For the first half of fiscal year 2020, the initial application resulted in an improvement in cash flows from operating activities in the mid double-digit million range with a corresponding deterioration in cash flows from financing activities and a corresponding increase in free cash flow. Future payment obligations under operating leases as of September 30, 2019 reconcile to the lease liability as of October 1, 2019, as follows:

(in millions of €)
Future minimum lease payments from operating leases as of
September 30, 2019 (gross)

Future minimum lease payments from finance leases as of

Note 3 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Corindus

On October 29, 2019, Siemens Healthineers completed the acquisition of all shares in Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (hereinafter "Corindus"). Corindus develops and provides robotic systems for minimally invasive endovascular procedures. By combining Siemens Healthineers' cardiovascular and neurointerventional therapy systems with Corindus' innovative technology, Siemens Healthineers is able to drive optimization of procedures for image-based minimally invasive therapies. The business has been integrated into the Advanced Therapies segment.

The purchase price amounted to US\$1.1 billion (€1.0 billion as of the acquisition date) and was paid in cash. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date resulted in the following assets and liabilities:

(in millions of €)
Cash and cash equivalents 13
Goodwill 763
Other intangible assets 306
Miscellaneous assets 7
Total assets 1,089
Other current financial liabilities 25
Long-term financial debt 8
Deferred tax liabilities 48
Miscellaneous liabilities 11
Total liabilities 92

The goodwill of €763 million comprised intangible assets that were not separable, such as employee know-how and expected synergy effects. Synergies are mainly expected from offering Corindus' products through the Siemens Healthineers' sales network, and also from the combination of Corindus' robotic systems with Siemens Healthineers' therapy systems and solutions in the fields of digitalization and artificial intelligence. The intangible assets of €306 million contain especially acquired technologies.

With the closing of the acquisition of Corindus, Siemens provided Siemens Healthineers with an additional financing of €1.0 billion in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

The acquired business contributed revenue of €6 million and a net loss of €21 million to Siemens Healthineers for the period from the acquisition date to March 31, 2020, including earnings effects from purchase price allocation and integration costs. If Corindus had been included in the consolidated financial statements as of October 1, 2019, revenue and net income of the combined entity would have been €7,273 million and €715 million, respectively, in the first half of fiscal year 2020.

Acquisition of ECG

On November 1, 2019, Siemens Healthineers completed the acquisition of 75% of the ownership interest of ECG Management Consultants. ECG is a leading consulting company based in the United States specialized in healthcare and providing a comprehensive suite of advisory services for meeting the strategic, financial, operational and technology-related challenges facing healthcare providers today. The business is part of the Imaging segment and allows Siemens Healthineers to tap into adjacent growth markets.

The purchase price paid in cash amounted to US\$219 million (€196 million as of the acquisition date), including subsequent adjustments. In addition, financial liabilities of ECG amounting to US\$143 million (€129 million as of the acquisition date) were redeemed by Siemens Healthineers. The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date resulted in the following assets and liabilities:

(in millions of €)
Cash and cash equivalents 25
Trade and other receivables 34
Goodwill 189
Other intangible assets 112
Deferred tax assets 20
Miscellaneous assets 17
Total assets 397
Short-term financial debt 132
Other current liabilities 33
Deferred tax liabilities 22
Miscellaneous liabilities 11
Total liabilities 197
Non-controlling interests 3

The goodwill of €189 million comprised intangible assets that were not separable, such as employee know-how and expected synergy effects. Some employees are affected by a non-compete agreement, which was classified as a separate transaction and recognized as an intangible asset measured at €19 million. The non-controlling interests of 25% were measured with the corresponding proportion of the amount of the acquired net assets.

For both acquisitions, the purchase price allocation is preliminary as the detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities has not yet been finalized.

Note 4 Interest income

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, interest on tax receivables in the amount of €18 million was recognized as interest income. This relates to tax benefits from international procedures on the avoidance of double taxation for the years 2002 to 2007.

Note 5 Income taxes

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, the tax rate of 28.2% was above the tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2019, which was 27.4%. This resulted mainly from tax benefits of €29 million from international procedures on the avoidance of double taxation, which were recognized in the first half of fiscal year 2019.

Note 6 Equity

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, Siemens Healthineers repurchased 1,550,474 (first half of fiscal year 2019: 1,205,012) shares utilizing the authorization granted by the extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on February 19, 2018, and transferred 844,309 (first half of fiscal year 2019: 584,698) treasury shares in conjunction with share-based payment plans.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, a dividend of €0.80 per share was paid.

² Excluding separately disclosed receivables from finance leases.

The carrying amount of other liabilities to Siemens Group from U.S. dollar denominated long-term loans was €3,907 million as of March 31, 2020 (September 30, 2019: €3,932 million). The fair value of these liabilities, which is based on prices provided by price service agencies (level 2), also amounted to €3,907 million as of March 31, 2020 (September 30, 2019: €3,928 million). The carrying amounts of the remaining financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximated their fair value.

The determination of the fair values of derivatives depended on the specific type of instrument. The fair values of forward exchange contracts were based on forward exchange rates (level 2).

Except for a publicly listed investment for which a quoted price in an active market exists (level 1), the fair values of equity instruments were derived primarily from a discounted cash flow valuation (level 3). Expected cash flows are subject to future market and business developments as well as price volatility. The discount rates applied take into account respective risk-adjusted

capital costs. The fair value measurement of fund shares was based on their net asset values (level 2).

The fair values of contingent considerations were derived from probability-weighted future payments, which mainly depend on the achievement of technical and commercial milestones as well as on the achievement of sales targets (level 3).

Liabilities from written put options on non-controlling interests were measured at fair value, which is based on the present value of the exercise price of the options (level 3). The exercise price is generally derived from the proportionate enterprise value. The increase in liabilities resulted mainly from the addition of written put options amounting to €58 million in connection with the acquisition of ECG (please also see Note 3 Acquisitions). The enterprise value of ECG is calculated by an independent appraiser in accordance with a contractually agreed methodology and serves as a basis for the exercise price per share, which is determined at least once a year. The most significant unobservable input used to determine the fair value is financial

information from the five-year business plan, which is mainly subject to expected business and market developments. In addition, weighted revenue and earnings multiples are considered.

Note 8 Share-based payment

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, Siemens Healthineers again granted Siemens Healthineers' stock awards to members of the Managing Board, members of senior management and other eligible employees. Beginning with the 2020 tranche, a portion of the Siemens Healthineers' stock awards granted to members of senior management and other eligible employees is no longer linked to the development of the total shareholder return in comparison to that of established competitors during the vesting period, but depends solely on fulfillment of the employee's respective service condition. These stock awards will vest pro rata over a period of one to four years, i.e. provided that a beneficiary remains in the company, one quarter of the stock awards granted will be fulfilled each year. In the first half of fiscal year 2020, a total of 1,139,879 Siemens Healthineers' stock awards were granted.

¹ Obligations under finance leases as of September 30, 2019.

The increase in financial debt resulted mainly from a variable interest loan, amounting to €1.0 billion and maturing in fiscal year 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Corindus, the payment for the acquisition of ECG (please also see Note 3 Acquisitions) and from the first-time adoption of IFRS 16, Leases.

¹ Siemens Healthineers: Income before income taxes.

² First half 2019: On segment level adjusted according to the definition of the adjusted EBIT.

Accounting policies for segment information are generally the same as those described in the annual report for fiscal year 2019. Starting in fiscal year 2020, adjusted EBIT margin is used to manage the operating performance of our segments. Adjusted EBIT is defined as income before income taxes, interest income and expenses and other financial income, net, adjusted for amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, severance charges, acquisition-related transaction costs and centrally carried pension service and administration expenses. With the application of the adjusted EBIT margin as the new performance measure, the calculation of free cash flow changed accordingly, which means that the operating interest is no longer part of the segments' free cash flow.

Revenue

Siemens Healthineers' revenue included revenue from contracts with customers and revenue from leases. In the first half of fiscal year 2020, revenue from leases amounted to €156 million (first half of fiscal year 2019: €96 million).

For each of the segments, revenue results mainly from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time, especially in the case of the sale of goods, including reagents and consumables in the Diagnostics segment. However, the performance obligations related to maintenance contracts for equipment sold are generally satisfied over time with revenue recognized on a straight-line basis.

In connection with financing of operating activities through participation in the Siemens Group's cash pooling and cash management, the balance of current receivables from and current payables to the Siemens Group decreased in the first half of fiscal year 2020. This development was caused mainly by the dividend payout and payments made in the context of the acquisition of ECG. Other liabilities to Siemens AG increased primarily due to an additional financing of €1.0 billion for the acquisition of Corindus.

In December 2019, a multicurrency revolving credit facility of up to €1.1 billion (September 30, 2019: €1.0 billion) granted by Siemens AG, which serves as a short-term loan facility and to finance net working capital, was extended until January 31, 2023.

In the first half of fiscal year 2020, interest expenses from financing arrangements with the Siemens Group amounted to €24 million (first half of fiscal year 2019: €68 million). The decrease was primarily due to a restructuring of non-current financial liabilities to the Siemens Group in the second half of fiscal year 2019.

Hedging with the Siemens Group

As of March 31, 2020, other current and other non-current financial assets resulting from hedging activities with the Siemens Group as counterparty amounted to €290 million (September 30, 2019: €116 million). The increase resulted mainly from the change in value of hedging instruments for U.S. dollar loans existing at German entities. As of March 31, 2020, other current and other non-current financial liabilities from hedging activities amounted to €22 million (September 30, 2019: €45 million).

C.2 Review report

To Siemens Healthineers AG, Munich

We have reviewed the half-year consolidated financial statements comprising the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity, and notes to half-year consolidated financial statements, and the interim group management report, of Siemens Healthineers Aktiengesellschaft, Munich for the period from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to Sec. 115 WpHG ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": German Securities Trading Act). The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of the half-year consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the half-year consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the half-year consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for the Review of Financial Statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW - Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) and in supplementary compliance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Those standards require that we plan and perform the review to obtain a certain level of assurance in our critical appraisal to preclude that the half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to making inquiries of the Company's employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance obtainable from an audit of financial statements. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed an audit of financial statements, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.

C.3 Notes and forward-looking statements

This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens Healthineers that may constitute forwardlooking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as "expect", "forecast", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate", "will", "target" or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens Healthineers' management, of which many are beyond Siemens Healthineers' control. 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. All forward-looking statements only speak as of the date when they were made and Siemens Healthineers neither intends nor assumes any obligation, unless required by law, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

This document includes, in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined, supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAPmeasures). These supplemental financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens Healthineers' net assets, financial position and results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its consolidated financial statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently, which may therefore not be comparable.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures to which they refer.

This document is an English language translation of the German document. In case of discrepancies, the German language document is the sole authoritative and universally valid version.

For technical reasons, there may be differences in formatting between the accounting records appearing in this document and those published pursuant to legal requirements.

For reasons of readability, the male form is predominantly chosen in this Half-Year Financial Report. The information refers nevertheless to persons of any gender.
