2Including India.
Revenue increased by 4.3% on a comparable basis compared to the prior-year period. Excluding revenue from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests which ended in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, comparable growth was 5.0%. This was driven by very strong growth in the Varian segment, strong growth in the Advanced Therapies segment and moderate growth in the Imaging segment. The Diagnostics segment showed flat revenue development. Excluding the now-ended rapid antigen-test business, comparable revenue increased moderately for the Diagnostics segment. On a nominal basis, revenue increased by 1.8% to €10,611 million. Currency translation effects had a negative impact of around 3 percentage points on revenue growth. The equipment book-tobill ratio was a very good 1.11 in the first half, slightly below the prior-year figure, which was also very good, at 1.17.
Adjusted revenue in Imaging rose by 3.9% on a comparable basis relative to the very strong prior-year period. Molecular Imaging and Magnetic Resonance in particular showed very strong growth. From a geographical perspective, comparable revenue growth was significant in EMEA and moderate in the Americas region. The region Asia Pacific Japan showed slight comparable revenue growth. In the China region, revenue decreased by a high single-digit percentage after very strong revenue development in the prior-year period. Temporarily delayed customer orders in the China region in preceding quarters had a negative effect on revenue in the first half of fiscal year 2024. On a nominal basis, adjusted revenue rose by 1.7% to €5,748 million.
The Diagnostics segment showed flat revenue development with an adjusted revenue decline of 0.3% on a comparable basis. Excluding the rapid COVID-19 antigen test business, which no longer generated revenue in the first half of fiscal year 2024 (prior-year period: €67 million), adjusted revenue increased by 2.8%. While EMEA recorded strong growth and the Americas region posted slight comparable growth, revenue in the China region decreased moderately. Against the backdrop of sharp growth due to higher revenue from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests in the prior-year period, the Asia Pacific Japan region showed a low double-digit comparable revenue decline. On a nominal basis, adjusted revenue decreased by 3.0% to €2,162 million.
Varian's adjusted revenue increased by 8.9% on a comparable basis above the significant revenue growth in the prior-year period. From a geographical perspective, the Asia Pacific Japan region in particular recorded significant growth. While the Americas region reported very strong comparable revenue growth after significant revenue development in the prior-year period, comparable revenue in the China and EMEA regions showed strong growth. On a nominal basis, adjusted revenue rose by 6.9% to €1,821 million.
Adjusted revenue at Advanced Therapies increased by 6.5% on a comparable basis. The Americas and Asia Pacific Japan regions recorded very strong growth and EMEA recorded strong comparable revenue growth. Against the backdrop of sharp revenue development in the prior-year period and due to temporarily delayed customer orders in preceding quarters, revenue in the China region decreased slightly on a comparable basis. On a nominal basis, adjusted revenue rose by 3.0% to €1,001 million.
In the EMEA region, revenue increased by 9.4% on a comparable basis. In particular, the Imaging segment showed significant growth. Advanced Therapies, Diagnostics and Varian achieved strong revenue development. Germany reported revenue growth of 8.1% on a comparable basis, mainly because of sharp growth in the Varian business and significant growth in Imaging. While Advanced Therapies showed moderate comparable revenue growth, a mid single-digit revenue decline at Diagnostics had the opposite effect.
The Americas region and within it, the United States, each recorded comparable revenue growth of 4.5%, driven by very strong revenue developments in the Varian and Advanced Therapies segments. Imaging in the Americas region, as well as in the United States, achieved moderate growth, and Diagnostics recorded slight revenue growth on a comparable basis.
In the Asia Pacific Japan region, revenue rose by 0.7% on a comparable basis. Excluding the now-ended rapid COVID-19 antigen test business, the region recorded moderate comparable revenue growth. The Varian segment contributed significant growth, Advanced Therapies achieved very strong growth and Imaging slight growth. Against sharp growth in the prior-year period driven by high contributions from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, Diagnostics reported a low double-digit revenue decline on a comparable basis.
Against the backdrop of very strong comparable revenue growth in the prior-year period, revenue in the China region declined by 4.5% on a comparable basis. This was mainly related to a high single-digit revenue decrease in the Imaging segment as well as to moderate and slight revenue declines in the Diagnostics and Advanced Therapies segments respectively. This was mainly due to the above mentioned temporarily delayed customer orders in preceding quarters. Varian in contrast achieved strong comparable revenue growth after an already very strong prior-year period.

1Comparable based on the definition of adjustments effective October 1, 2023.
In the first half of fiscal year 2024, adjusted EBIT increased by 8% from the prior-year period, to €1,564 million. The adjusted EBIT margin of 14.7% was above the prior-year level of 13.9%. The main reasons were cost reductions related to the transformation program of the Diagnostics business along with contributions from revenue growth. A temporary unfavorable business mix compared to the prior-year period, and now-ended contributions from the rapid COVID-19 antigen-test business, which ended in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, had a slightly negative impact.
Adjusted EBIT was affected by €34 million or around 4% higher research and development expenses. Adjusted for currency translation, research and development expenses rose strongly from the prior-year level. Research and development intensity was around 9% and on the level of the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBIT was affected by €54 million or around 3% higher selling and general administrative expenses. Adjusted for currency translation, these expenses rose strongly compared to the prior-year level.
The adjusted EBIT margin of 19.7% in the Imaging segment was below the prior-year level due to a less favorable business mix year-on-year as well as lower absolute profit conversion from below average revenue growth. Adjusted EBIT decreased to €1,131 million.
In Diagnostics, the adjusted EBIT margin of 4.6% was clearly above the prior-year level of -1.0%. This was mainly driven by cost reductions related to the transformation program of the Diagnostics business. Furthermore, there was a positive effect from the longer useful life of leased-out laboratory analyzers as well as from contributions from revenue conversion. In contrast, nowended contributions from the rapid COVID-19 antigen-test business, which ended in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, had a negative impact compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted EBIT rose to €99 million.
The Varian segment's adjusted EBIT margin of 16.2% was above the prior-year level of 14.5% due to very strong revenue growth. Adjusted EBIT increased to €295 million.
The Advanced Therapies segment's adjusted EBIT margin rose to 15.3%, above the prior-year level of 14.3%, driven by strong revenue growth. Compared to the prior-year period, negative currency effects were more than offset by positive effects from focusing the endovascular robotics solution exclusively on neurovascular interventions. Adjusted EBIT rose to €153 million.

1 Comparable based on the definition of adjustments effective October 1, 2023. 2 Including expenses for impairment of other intangible assets in the amount of €244 million.
The line item amortization, depreciation and other effects from IFRS 3 purchase price allocation adjustments declined slightly to €191 million.
Severance charges decreased by €12 million to €54 million and were comprised mainly of severance charges in connection with the transformation of the Diagnostics segment.
In the first half of fiscal year 2024, there were no expenses for other portfolio-related measures. In the prior-year period, expenses for other portfolio-related measures of €329 million had a negative effect. This was due to focusing the endovascular robotics solution exclusively on neurovascular interventions in the Advanced Therapies segment.
Other restructuring expenses rose to €126 million, which, as in the prior-year period, were mainly related to the transformation of the Diagnostics segment.
Financial income, net decreased by €27 million to a negative €99 million. Higher interest expenses were partially offset by a positive change in the fair market valuation of an investment in a listed company.
Income tax expenses increased by €118 million. The effective income tax rate was a low 20.4%, positively impacted by the disappearance of tax risks in the first half of fiscal year 2024, compared to a low 16.2% in the prior-year period. The prior-year period was particularly affected by the release of a tax provision. Both effects were in the mid double-digit millions of euros.
As a result of the developments described above, net income increased by 62% to €863 million.

| Operating net working capital | 4,841 | 4,598 |
Operating net working capital increased by €243 million to €4,841 million, slightly above the level of the previous balance sheet date, despite negative effects from currency translation.
This is mainly due to an increase of €342 million in inventories, attributed to a build-up in preparation for stronger business development in the second half of fiscal year 2024, mainly in the Imaging and Varian segments, as well as in connection with long-term sourcing of critical materials. The decrease in trade and other receivables by €211 million, partly due to currency translation, had an offsetting effect. Trade payables decreased by €181 million, particularly in the Imaging segment.

1 Excluding fair value of forwards for hedging of foreign currency liabilities from financing activities.
The increase of €186 million to €1,301 million in remaining current assets was due primarily to an increase in other current financial assets. This was influenced mainly by the change in the fair market valuation of an investment in a listed company for which an external investor has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the company. Secondly, other current assets increased mainly due to accruals for advanced payments.

Remaining non-current assets decreased by €348 million to €31,168 million. Therein, currency translation effects had a negative impact, particularly in the line items goodwill and other intangible assets. This was partly offset by an increase in deferred tax assets of €135 million to €551 million, mainly due to R&D expenses in the U.S., which were capitalized for tax purposes.

The line items cash and cash equivalents, and current receivables from and current liabilities to the Siemens Group from financing activities, particularly include, in addition to current loans, our cash pooling with the Siemens Group. Changes were attributable to income and expenditures from operations and to short-term investment or borrowing of liquidity. Together with the credit facilities, these line items collectively make up the Company's funds available at short notice.
As of the reporting date, net debt amounted to €13,174 million, €46 million above the level of September 30, 2023.
Along with currency translation effects related to U.S. dollar loans, the changes in current and non-current liabilities to the Siemens Group from financing activities resulted particularly from the following activities:
In the reporting period, two loans from the Siemens Group in a total amount of US\$2.5 billion were repaid. In return, the Siemens Group provided the following additional loans:
Furthermore, the fair value of forward contracts for hedging of foreign currency liabilities from financing activities decreased by €428 million. These derivatives were entered into to hedge the foreign currency risks of loans denominated in U.S. dollars.
As of March 31, 2024, the two multicurrency revolving credit facilities of up to a total of €4.5 billion granted by the Siemens Group were utilized in an amount of €1,013 million (September 30, 2023: €1,267 million).

Remaining current liabilities declined by €448 million to €2,668 million, primarily due to the decrease of other current liabilities by €339 million. This is mainly a result of the pro-rata accumulation of performance-related remuneration components. In addition, current income tax liabilities decreased by €92 million, particularly in connection with the payment of income taxes from the prior fiscal year.

Equity increased by €543 million to €18,676 million. The increase in retained earnings of €825 million is mainly due to the net income of €863 million for the first half of fiscal year 2024. Furthermore, other components of equity decreased by €385 million, mainly as a result of currency translation differences. The increase in the cost of hedging reserve associated with foreign currency loans had an offsetting effect. To fulfill share-based payment programs based on shares of Siemens Healthineers AG, treasury shares were transferred to plan participants in the first half year of fiscal year 2024, while no treasury shares were repurchased due to the fully completed share buyback program in fiscal year 2023. Thus, treasury shares decreased by €139 million to €468 million.

Cash inflows from operating activities decreased by €188 million from the prior-year period to €656 million. The impact on cash flows from operating activities from the change in operating net working capital was €79 million less than in the prior-year period. This resulted largely from a lower increase in inventories and contract assets relative to the prior-year period. This was partly offset by a lower increase in contract liabilities and a stronger reduction of trade payables. The decrease of €596 million in other reconciling items to cash flows from operating activities was mainly related to lower depreciation. The prior-year period included an impairment in connection with the focusing of the endovascular robotics solution exclusively on vascular interventions in neurology, and the associated withdrawal from the endovascular cardiology business. Furthermore, payments for performance-related remuneration components, which were higher than in the prior-year period, had a negative impact on other reconciling items to cash flows from operating activities.
Cash outflows from investing activities declined by €70 million from the prior-year period to €332 million. This was mainly a result of lower payouts for additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
In the first half of fiscal year 2024, cash outflows from financing activities amounted to €231 million and were thus €98 million above the level of the prior-year period. This was mainly a result of two opposing effects. On the one hand, net inflows from the change in short-term financial debts and other financing activities provided by the Siemens Group were lower than in the prioryear period. On the other hand, there were no dividend payouts in the first half of fiscal year 2024, in contrast to the prior-year period, because the Annual Shareholders' Meeting 2024 took place after the first half of the fiscal year.

For fiscal year 2024, we continue to expect comparable revenue growth of between 4.5% and 6.5% over fiscal year 2023. Excluding revenue from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests, this corresponds to comparable revenue growth of between 5.0% and 7.0%.
The expectation for adjusted basic earnings per share remains unchanged at between €2.10 and €2.30.
The outlook is based on several assumptions. This includes the expectation that the current macroeconomic environment, including the interest rate level, will remain largely unchanged.
Furthermore, the outlook is based on assumptions regarding revenue growth and the adjusted earnings development of our segments. These assumptions remain unchanged, with the exception of the Diagnostics segment, for which the adjusted EBIT margin guidance has been raised as follows:
For the Diagnostics segment, we now expect an adjusted EBIT margin of between 4% and 6% (previously 2.5% to 4.5% in the 2023 Annual Report) with unchanged assumptions for comparable revenue growth (between 2% and 4% excluding the rapid COVID-19 antigen test business).
In addition, the outlook is based on assumptions about exchange rate developments. Furthermore, this outlook excludes potential portfolio measures. In addition, the outlook is based on the assumption that developments related to the war in Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East will not have a material impact on our business activities. The outlook is based on the number of shares outstanding at the end of fiscal year 2023. This outlook also excludes charges from legal, tax and regulatory issues and framework conditions.
In our annual report for fiscal year 2023 we described certain risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business objectives, net assets and financial position (including effects on assets, liabilities and cash flows), results of operations and reputation. In addition, we described our significant opportunities as well as the design of our risk management system.
Besides the risks and opportunities that we presented in our annual report for fiscal year 2023, we identified a new opportunity that arises in connection with developments relating to sustainability.
Favorable shifts in the political and regulatory landscape towards a carbon-neutral economy are encouraging our suppliers to invest in carbon-neutral solutions and our customers to establish and pursue greenhouse gas-reduction targets. In addition to minimizing CO2 emissions in our own operations, this increased attention on resource conservation could potentially ease the path to achieve sustainability goals along the value chain. Improving environmental performance is also a key consideration in product design and manufacturing at Siemens Healthineers. We are continuously improving the energy efficiency of our systems and working on holistic approaches to bundle our systems with service offerings, including digitalization, to support our customers in lowering their greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, we are building up sustainability-related consultancy skills and offerings to meet these evolving demands. These developments could give us an opportunity to generate additional revenue and profit. We have a solid foundation of existing circularity practices, where we potentially can accelerate the expansion in scope and impact, to help us with our sustainability efforts. The intensified reuse of returned materials can have benefits such as increased resilience against supply shortages, reduced dependency on raw material consumption and optimized cost in the endto-end lifecycle of parts.
The most significant risks currently include Economic, Political and Geopolitical Developments, Cybersecurity and Competitive Environment. Compared to the annual report 2023 the risk Competitive Environment increased slightly, as the global footprint of our Chinese competitor continues to expand. Besides measures that we have implemented already, we continue to monitor developments and make adjustments where necessary. Furthermore, our assessment of individual risks in the first half of the fiscal year 2024 did not change significantly.
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 could endanger our ability to continue as a going concern. Chapter C.3 Notes and forward-looking statements should be noted.

The condensed half-year consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, 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 euros (€). Due to rounding, numbers may not add up precisely to the totals provided.
The results achieved in the interim reporting period are not necessarily indicative of the development of future business performance.
In connection with the war in Ukraine, there were no material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the first half of fiscal year 2024. Siemens Healthineers has no production sites in Ukraine or Russia. The business activities of the sales and service units could be negatively impacted by further escalation of the war, possible further sanctions, a further escalation of the Middle East conflict, and the exchange rate development of particular local currencies. Due to the volatile geopolitical situation, the potential impacts for the second half of fiscal year 2024 cannot be reliably estimated. The associated risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.
For further information on disaggregation of revenue and on segment information, please 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 30, 2024.
The accounting policies applied for the preparation of the half-year consolidated financial statements are substantially consistent with these accounting policies applied for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2023. New or revised international accounting standards in accordance with IFRS, that are mandatory for the first time in fiscal year 2024, had no material impact.
As of October 1, 2023, the useful life of equipment from the Diagnostics segment that is leased to customers under operating leases was increased from seven to nine years to reflect the reassessed expected utility based on the latest knowledge of the actual and expected use of the equipment (please also see Note 4 Other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment).
Income tax expenses are determined in interim reporting periods based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate of Siemens Healthineers for the full year.
In February 2024, the rating of Siemens AG was improved by Standards & Poor's. Subsequently, the classification of credit balances on cash-pooling accounts and short-term deposits of up to three months with the Siemens Group was reassessed. The items are now presented as cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of financial position and consolidated statements of cash flows because they are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash. Due to the high creditworthiness of the Siemens Group and the bank-like liquidity management of Siemens Corporate Treasury, the risk of changes in value is assessed to be insignificant. Comparative amounts were adjusted retrospectively.
The following tables summarize the impacts on the consolidated statements of financial position and the consolidated statements of cash flow.

In the first half of fiscal year 2024, the tax rate of 20.4%, positively impacted by the disappearance of tax risks, was higher than the tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2023, which was due to a one-off effect 16.2%.
As of October 1, 2023, the useful life of equipment from the Diagnostics segment that is leased to customers under operating leases was increased from seven to nine years to reflect the reassessed expected utility based on the latest knowledge of the actual and expected use of the equipment. In the first half of fiscal year 2024 this resulted in lower depreciation expense of €36 million.
Capital reserve: In the first half of fiscal year 2024, expenses for share-based payment based on Siemens Healthineers AG shares led to an increase in the capital reserve of €64 million (first half of fiscal year 2023: €58 million). In connection with the settlement of the share-based payment awards, Siemens Healthineers AG shares, held as treasury shares, were transferred to employees at cost of €95 million (first half of fiscal year 2023: €135 million), leading to a decrease in the capital reserve of €92 million (first half of fiscal year 2023: €135 million) and in retained earnings of €2 million (first half of fiscal year 2023: €0 million).
Treasury shares: In the first half of fiscal year 2024, Siemens Healthineers repurchased no shares (first half of fiscal year 2023: 815,072), because the share buyback program was fully completed in fiscal year 2023. 2,783,132 treasury shares were transferred to employees (first half of fiscal year 2023: 3,676,483). As of March 31, 2024, the number of treasury shares amounted to 9,428,754 (September 30, 2023: 12,211,886).
Dividends: The Annual Shareholders' Meeting on April 18, 2024, resolved to distribute a dividend of €1.063 million (€0.95 per share entitled to the dividend) for the expired fiscal year 2023. The dividend was paid on April 23, 2024.

The carrying amount of liabilities to the Siemens Group from U.S. dollar-denominated long-term loans was €8,223 million as of March 31, 2024 (September 30, 2023: €8,391 million). The fair value of these liabilities, which is based on prices provided by price service agencies (level 2), amounted to €7,099 million (September 30, 2023: €6,888 million). The carrying amount of liabilities to the Siemens Group from euro-denominated long-term fixed-rate loans was €4,650 million as of March 31, 2024 (September 30, 2023: €2,550 million). The fair value of these liabilities amounted to €4,720 million (September 30, 2023: €2,524 million) and was estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities (level 2). The carrying amounts of the remaining financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost approximated their fair value.
The fair values of forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swaps were based on forward exchange rates (level 2).
Except for publicly listed investments for which a quoted price in an active market exists (level 1), the fair values of venture capital investments were generally determined on the basis of prices from most recently executed financing rounds (level 3). The fair values of other equity instruments were generally derived from a discounted cash flow valuation (level 3). Expected cash flows are thereby subject to future market and business developments as well as price volatility. The discount rates applied consider respective risk-adjusted capital costs. The fair value measurement of fund shares was based on their net asset values (level 2). In the first half of fiscal year 2024, net gains from the measurement of equity instruments at fair value amounted to €63 million (in the first half of fiscal year 2023: net loss of €2 million). The gains were recognized in other financial income and
resulted mainly from an investment in a listed company for which an external investor has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the company.
Debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss consisted mainly of bonds and loans related to the financing of proton therapy centers. Along with other debt investors, these funds were provided to various entities to finance the development, construction and operation of proton therapy centers in the United States. The repayment is either directly or indirectly linked to the commercial success of the centers. The fair values of the bonds and loans are based primarily on the individual creditworthiness of the debtor, taking into account the risk characteristics and operating performance of the financed project (level 3). Where appropriate, a probability weighted expected return model is used, utilizing management's assumptions of different outcomes such as the sale, refinancing or closure of the therapy center. Credit ratings are taken into account when adjusting the fair values for credit risks. Consequently, a better rating will generally result in an increased fair value of the loan receivable. As of March 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of financings provided by Siemens Healthineers and measured at fair value through profit or loss were €27 million (September 30, 2023: €26 million), while the total undiscounted amount, including accrued interest, amounted to €211 million (September 30, 2023: €207 million). The carrying amounts represent the maximum exposure to loss.
Liabilities from written put options on non-controlling interests were measured at the present value of the exercise price of the options. The exercise price is generally derived from the proportionate enterprise value.
The changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (level 3) were as follows:
| Equity instruments | Debt instruments measured at fair value through profit |
or loss | Contingent considerations from business combinations |

Comparable based on the definition of adjustments effective October 1, 2023. 6 Including effects in line with revaluation of contract liabilities from IFRS 3 purchase price allocations. Accounting policies for segment information are generally the same as those described in the annual report for fiscal year 2023. From the beginning of fiscal year 2024, adjusted EBIT is additionally adjusted for other expenses in connection with restructuring measures within the meaning of IAS 37. Figures for first half of fiscal year 2023 are comparable based on the definition of adjustments effective October 1, 2023.
Siemens Healthineers' revenue included revenue from contracts with customers and income from leases. In the first half of fiscal year 2024, income from leases amounted to €130 million (first half of fiscal year 2023: €180 million). No revenue from rapid COVID-19 antigen tests in the Diagnostics segment were achieved in the first half of fiscal year 2024 (first half of fiscal year 2023: €67 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 over this period.

3 Including expenses for impairment of other intangible assets in the amount of €244 million.
In the first half of fiscal year 2024, other restructuring expenses amounted to €126 million. This is mainly related to expenses in connection with the transformation of the Diagnostics business.
In the prior year period, expenses for other portfolio-related measures were €329 million. This was due to the focusing of the endovascular robotics solution exclusively on interventional solutions in neurology and the associated withdrawal from the robotic-assisted endovascular cardiology business in the Advanced Therapies segment. In the first half of fiscal year 2024, there were no expenses for other portfolio-related measures.

To Siemens Healthineers AG, Munich
We have reviewed the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements – comprising the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated statement of cash flows, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes – and the interim group management report of Siemens Healthineers AG, for the period from October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to § [Article] 115 WpHG ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed half-year financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the parent Company's executive directors. Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW) and supplementary compliance with the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with moderate assurance, that the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU nor that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
