Interim group management report

Overview of fi nancial results for the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009 (October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008)

^M Orders of €22.220 billion came in 8% below the high level of the prior-year quarter. The order backlog included no major cancellations.
^M Revenue rose 7% to €19.634 billion, supported by strong order growth in recent years.
^M Total Sectors profi t climbed 20%, to €2.005 billion, led by broad-based profi t growth in Energy.
^M Income from continuing operations rose 17%, to €1.260 billion, on higher Total Sectors profi t.
^M Net income was €1.230 billion in the fi rst quarter. A year earlier, net income of €6.475 billion for the quarter included approximately €5.4 billion in income from discontinued operations related to Siemens VDO Automotive.
^M Free cash fl ow was a negative €1.574 billion compared to a negative €217 million in the prior-year period. The current period includes payments totalling €1.230 billion associated with legal proceedings, project charges and transformation programs initiated in fi scal 2008.

Revenue rose and book-to-bill remained well above 1. First-quarter revenue rose to €19.634 billion, a 7% increase compared to the same period a year earlier. Revenue growth was supported strongly by high order growth in the past two fi scal years. Orders exceeded revenue, at €22.220 billion, but declined 8% compared to the record high level in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The book-to-bill ratio for the current period was 1.13.

The net effect of currency translation for Siemens was neutral for revenues and orders. On an organic basis, i.e. excluding currency effects and portfolio transactions, revenue rose 8% and orders came in 7% lower compared to the prior-year quarter.

Revenue increased in all Sectors and regions. Revenue rose in all three Sectors, led by double-digit growth throughout the Energy Sector. The Healthcare Sector also posted double-digit growth including new volume from the acquisition of Dade Behring Holdings Inc. (Dade Behring) at the Diagnostics Division.

On a geographic basis, revenue rose in all three reporting regions of Siemens, with particular strength in the Americas and Asia/Australia. The Fossil Power Generation and Renewable Energy Divisions led to higher revenue in the Americas, while in Asia/Australia the largest revenue increases came at the Power Transmission and Industrial Solutions Divisions.

Broad-based order decline in all regions, most Divisions. In an environment of slowing global growth and a worldwide fi nancial and economic crisis, weaker demand was noticeable throughout Siemens' business. Orders climbed 3% in Healthcare but declined in Industry and Energy, where a majority of Divisions had lower or level orders year-over-year.

All regions posted lower orders. Within the Asia/Australia region volume declined signifi cantly in China, where the Industry Solutions Division and Power Transmission Division had large orders in the prior-year period. Orders came in lower in the Americas due primarily to the Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas Divisions, which benefi ted from surging demand in the U.S. a year earlier. Orders rose 12% in Germany on the strength of a large order at the Mobility Division.

Total Sectors profi t climbed, led by Energy and Healthcare. Total Sectors profi t for the fi rst quarter climbed 20% year-over-year, to €2.005 billion. Energy was the primary driver of Sectors profi t growth, with a strong profi t rebound in the fossil power business compared to the fi rst quarter a year earlier and double-digit profi t increases at all other Divisions. Higher revenue helped lift Sector profi t at Healthcare as well. Industry made the largest contribution to Total Sectors profi t in the fi rst quarter but saw a decline compared to the prior-year period due primarily to a decline in the industrial automation business.

Income from continuing operations climbed on higher Sectors profi t. Income from continuing operations grew to €1.260 billion, up 17% compared to the fi rst quarter a year earlier. Basic EPS on a continuing basis rose to €1.43 from €1.14 in the prior-year period. The major factor in these increases was higher Total Sectors profi t yearover-year. Other positive factors were lower expenses for Corporate items including legal and regulatory matters, higher income from Equity Investments and continued progress in closing out Other Operations. These positive factors more than offset lower income from Cross-Sector Businesses and Siemens Real Estate (SRE), as well as negative results of fi nance related hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting.

Year-over-year development of net income included the sale of Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) in fi scal 2008. Net income in the fi rst quarter was €1.230 billion, with a corresponding EPS of €1.40. A year earlier, net income of €6.475 billion and EPS of €7.04 benefi ted substantially from €5.397 billion in income from discontinued operations, primarily related to the sale of SV. In the current period, discontinued operations posted a loss of €30 million related mainly to the fi scal 2008 sale of a 51% stake in Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN).

ROCE rose on higher income. On a continuing basis, return on capital employed (ROCE) increased to 12.9% from 11.6% in the fi rst quarter a year earlier on higher income from continuing operations in the current period.

Compliance expenses fell again as major legal proceedings conclude. Siemens concluded previously disclosed major legal proceedings in the U.S. and Germany during the fi rst quarter. Expenses within continuing and discontinued operations for outside advisors in connection with these matters totaled €50 million, substantially lower than €127 million in the prior-year period and €89 million in the previous quarter. Within these totals, discontinued operations accounted for €1 million in the current quarter compared to €34 million in the prior-year period.

Pension underfunding increased on higher DBO. The estimated underfunding of Siemens' principal pension plans as of December 31, 2008, amounted to approximately €4.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of approximately €2.5 billion at the end of fi scal 2008. The decline in funding status is due primarily to a signifi cant decrease in the discount rate assumption at December 31, 2008, which increased Siemens' estimated defi ned benefi t obligation (DBO).

Results of Siemens

Results of Siemens – First quarter of fi scal 2009

The following discussion presents selected information for Siemens for the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009:

Revenue rose 7% year-over-year, to €19.634 billion, with revenue still robust due to a strong order backlog in many of our businesses. Orders were €22.220 billion, down 8% from the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008, refl ecting slowing demand due to global economic conditions and the ongoing fi nancial and economic crisis. The book-tobill ratio was 1.13 for the current quarter, lower than 1.32 in the prior-year period, but up from the last quarter of fi scal 2008. On an organic basis, excluding the net effect of currency translation and portfolio transactions, revenue rose 8% year-over-year and orders decreased by 7%.

Order growth related to external customers in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009 showed a mixed picture across the three Sectors. The Industry Sector – Siemens' largest Sector – saw orders decline by 11% compared to the strong prior-year period. All Divisions in the Sector reported lower orders except Mobility and Building Technologies, with Industry Solutions, Drive Technologies and Industry Automation experiencing the largest drops. While the Energy Sector saw orders increase compared to the last two quarters of fi scal 2008, they declined 6% compared to the fi rst quarter a year earlier, largely due to a high volume of major orders in the prior-year period, in particular at Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas. The Energy Sector's book-to-bill ratio remained strong at 1.37. Healthcare increased orders 3%, benefi ting from new volume at Diagnostics due to the acquisition of Dade Behring, which was completed one month into the fi rst quarter of the prior year.

In the region comprising Europe, C.I.S., Africa and the Middle East – Siemens' largest reporting region – orders declined by 6% on decreases in Energy and Industry, while orders in Healthcare were stable compared to the prior-year period. While the decline in Industry orders was broad-based refl ecting exposure to current macroeconomic conditions, orders in the Energy Sector came in lower mainly due to fewer major orders compared to the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008. In Germany, order growth included a major contract win at Mobility. In the Americas, reported orders of €5.498 billion were 10% lower than in the prior-year period. This was due primarily to a double-digit decline in Energy, particularly including Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas. Orders in Industry also were lower in the region, while they rose in Healthcare supported by new volume from Dade Behring. On an organic basis, excluding positive currency translation effects primarily in the U.S., orders declined by 15% in the Americas region. In the region comprising Asia and Australia, orders came in 15% lower, as growth in Energy and Healthcare was more than offset by a signifi cant decline in the Industry Sector. Within the region, volume declined signifi cantly in China, where the Industry Solutions Division and Power Transmission Division had large orders in the prior-year period.

Revenue related to external customers rose 7% year-over-year in the fi rst quarter, on double-digit increases in Energy and Healthcare. Industry delivered revenue growth of 2% on increases at Mobility, Industry Solutions, Building Technologies and Drive Technologies. OSRAM and Industry Automation were more exposed to weakening market conditions in close-to-consumer businesses, and posted lower revenue. The Energy Sector recorded a broad-based 24% growth in revenue, including double-digit increases in all fi ve Divisions. The difference yearover-year includes revenue conversion from a more substantial order backlog. Revenue in the Healthcare Sector was up 10% compared to the prior-year quarter, with Diagnostics contributing most of the increase year-overyear.

In the Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East region, revenue rose 2% year-over-year. All Sectors delivered higher revenue compared to the prior-year period, led by double-digit growth in Energy. Reported revenue for the region was held back by negative portfolio effects, particularly related to the divestment of Siemens Home and Offi ce Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG (SHC) between the periods under review. Revenue in Germany was level year-over-year. The Americas region posted a 15% revenue increase, benefi ting from positive currency translation effects. Energy generated the highest growth and increased its revenue in the region for the fourth consecutive quarter. Revenue rose 14% in Healthcare and was stable in Industry. On an organic basis, revenue rose 9% for the Americas and 6% in the U.S. The Asia, Australia region saw 11% expansion in revenue, including double-digit growth in Energy and Healthcare and a 6% increase in Industry. While revenue in China showed a similar pattern as for the region as a whole, India reported a decline due primarily to strong negative currency translation effects.

Gross profi t for the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009 increased 6% year-over-year, as Energy signifi cantly improved its gross profi t compared to the prior-year period that included substantial project charges at Fossil Power Generation. Lower gross profi t in Industry was mainly driven by a decline at Industry Automation, while a decrease in Healthcare included charges in its particle therapy business in the current period. The gross profi t margin for Siemens came in near the prior-year level.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased to €914 million, or 4.7% of revenue, from €847 million or 4.6% of revenue in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008, led by higher outlays in Industry and Energy. Marketing, selling and general administrative (SG&A) expenses declined to €2.868 billion, or 14.6% of revenues, from €3.055 billion or 16.6% of revenue in the prior-year period, on a broad-based improvement in SG&A expense ratio across all Sectors.

Other operating income decreased slightly to €185 million in the fi rst quarter, compared to €190 million a year earlier. Other operating expense was €117 million, down from €206 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The prior-year period included a goodwill impairment of €70 million related to a building and infrastructure business, 50% of which was divested between the periods under review. In addition, expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities decreased from €93 million a year earlier to €49 million in the current period.

Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net was €117 million compared to €108 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase included a lower equity investment loss related to Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. (NSN), amounting to €7 million in the current quarter, compared to €37 million a year earlier. Siemens expects substantial volatility in equity investment income in coming quarters.

Financial income (expense), net decreased to a negative €308 million, down from a positive €22 million in the fi rst quarter of the prior fi scal year, primarily due to negative results of hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting. In addition, Income (expense) from pension plans and similar commitments, net, swung from a positive €35 million in the prior-year period to a negative €58 million, due to higher interest cost and lower expected return on plan assets.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes was €1.735 billion in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, compared to €1.517 billion a year earlier. The change year-over-year was due mainly to an increase in gross profi t, accompanied by a decline in SG&A expenses and partly offset by a reduction in fi nancial income due to the factors mentioned above. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 27% in the current quarter, down from 29% in the prior-year period. The current-period rate was infl uenced by positive tax effects in connection with the divestment of a business. As a result, income from continuing operations after taxes was €1.260 billion, up from €1.078 billion in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008.

Discontinued operations include former Com activities as well as SV, which was sold to Continental AG in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008. The former Com activities include SEN, 51% of which were divested during the fourth quarter of fi scal 2008; telecommunications carrier activities transferred into NSN in the third quarter of fi scal 2007; and the mobile devices business sold to BenQ Corporation in fi scal 2005. Income from discontinued operations in the current quarter was a negative €30 million, compared to a positive €5.397 billion a year earlier. The difference is due mainly to approximately €5.4 billion in the prior-year period related to SV, including operating results along with a substantial gain on the sale of the business. For additional information regarding discontinued operations, see "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements" within this Interim Report.

Net income for Siemens in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009 was €1.230 billion, compared to €6.475 billion in the same period a year earlier, primarily due to the development in discontinued operations discussed above. Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG was €1.203 billion, down from €6.432 billion in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008.

Portfolio activities

At the beginning of October 2008, Siemens completed the transfer of an 80.2% stake in Siemens Home and Offi ce Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG (SHC), reported in Other Operations, to ARQUES Industries AG. The transaction resulted in a preliminary net loss of €118 million (including an impairment loss of €78 million) and additional costs of €21 million related mainly to carve-out activities. The expenses were already recognized in the fi scal year 2008.

We completed certain other portfolio transactions during the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009 which did not have a signifi cant effect on our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information on acquisitions and dispositions, see "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements."

Industry led all Sectors with profi t of €907 million in the fi rst quarter. For comparison, Sector profi t was €994 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The primary factor in the difference year-over-year was the Industry Automation Division, which remained the top income contributor in the Sector but saw profi tability drop from a peak profi t margin in the prior-year quarter due to lower volume and a less favorable product mix. OSRAM's contribution to Sector profi t fell also, as its markets became more challenging. The other four Divisions within Industry all increased their profi t, including double-digit increases at Building Technologies, Industry Solutions and Mobility.

First-quarter revenue for Industry rose 2% compared to the prior-year period, while orders came in 11% lower. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 1% and orders declined 11% year-over-year. All Divisions except Industry Automation and OSRAM increased their revenues compared to the prior-year period. Revenue growth was strongest in the Asia, Australia region. Orders showed exposure to global macroeconomic conditions, with declines in all regions. The Industry Sector's book-to-bill ratio was 1.05 compared to 1.2 in the prior-year period.

Industry Automation produced €255 million in profi t in the fi rst quarter, and its profi t margin remained in its target range. Nevertheless income declined year-over-year, with lower profi ts and margins in nearly all business units. For comparison, income in the prior-year period benefi ted from a €36 million gain on the sale of a business. Purchase price accounting (PPA) effects in the current quarter, associated with the acquisition of UGS Corp., were €35 million, equivalent to approximately 180 basis points of profi t margin. In the same quarter a year earlier, PPA effects of €48 million and integration costs of €5 million related to UGS were equivalent to approximately 250 basis points of profi t margin. Revenue of €1.977 billion was 5% lower than in the prior-year quarter and orders came in 14% lower year-over-year, as customers delayed restocking in the face of uncertain down-stream demand.

Drive Technologies produced profi t of €233 million and 8% revenue growth from a large order backlog benefi ting in part from the high-growth wind power business. The Division recorded PPA effects of €9 million in the current quarter and €10 million in the prior-year period. Orders declined mainly on slowing demand in shortcycle businesses, most notably the electronics assembly unit, which posted a loss of €27 million on lower business volume.

Building Technologies raised its fi rst-quarter profi t to €124 million benefi ting from a signifi cant improvement in its business mix between the periods under review. Orders were level year-over-year despite a general slowdown in commercial construction, particularly in the U.S.

Profi t at OSRAM decreased to €92 million despite positive effects from currency hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting. Profi tability was infl uenced by lower capacity utilization, as revenue fell 8% in part due to continued weak conditions in the automotive market. OSRAM expects charges in coming quarters related to improving its cost structure and product mix.

All business units in Industry Solutions contributed to the increase in fi rst-quarter profi t. The Division's large metals technologies unit led fi rst-quarter revenue and profi t-growth, continuing to convert its substantial backlog into current business. Orders came in lower compared to the record level of the prior-year quarter.

Mobility delivered profi t of €85 million in the fi rst quarter, benefi ting from a €10 million positive effect related to settlement of a claim in the rolling stock business. For comparison, profi t of €44 million in the prior-year period was burdened by €32 million in charges related to Combino. Orders rose 8% in the quarter, including a major contract win in Germany.

Energy

The Energy Sector turned in a strong fi rst quarter, with all Divisions delivering higher profi ts compared to the prior-year period as well as profi t margins within their target ranges. This sent Sector profi t up to €756 million for the quarter, well above the prior-year period. Fossil Power Generation drove Sector profi t growth year-overyear, as its prior-year results were burdened by more than €200 million in charges. Strong order backlogs at Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas enabled both Divisions to raise revenue, increase capacity utilization and signifi cantly improve their profi t margins. Power Transmission and Power Distribution continued to compete successfully in increasingly challenging markets for power infrastructure.

First-quarter revenue for Energy rose 24% year-over-year, to €6.232 billion, as all Divisions converted a high level of prior orders into current business. The Sector saw no material order cancellations in its backlog during the quarter. Orders declined 6% due primarily to the Renewable Energy and Oil & Gas Divisions. While Renewable Energy took in a lower level of large orders compared to the prior-year quarter, market conditions for Oil & Gas cooled, compared to surging demand in the prior-year period. On a geographic basis, revenue rose in all regions, led by the Americas, while orders grew in the Asia, Australia region on particular strength at Fossil Power Generation. The Sector's book-to-bill ratio was strong at 1.37, though down signifi cantly from 1.8 in the prior-year quarter.

Fossil Power Generation led all Siemens' Divisions with €289 million in profi t and brought its profi t margin into its target range. A year earlier, fi rst-quarter profi t was burdened by the substantial charges mentioned above. Equity investment income in the current period was €6 million, compared to €14 million in the prior-year period. Revenue climbed 25%, refl ecting strong order growth in recent years. Orders continued to grow at a robust rate, rising 16% to €3.997 billion, including the growth in Asia, Australia mentioned above. The Division expects substantial volatility in equity investment income in coming quarters.

Renewable Energy generated €101 million in profi t on revenue of €713 million in the fi rst quarter. Both fi gures represent high double-digit increases compared to the fi rst quarter a year ago, as the Division matched new production capacity to a robust order backlog. Orders in the quarter came in lower compared to the prior-year period, which included a higher level of large orders.

The Oil & Gas Division contributed €106 million to fi rst-quarter Sector profi t and brought its profi t margin into the target range. Revenue rose 27% year-over-year on conversion of the Division's strong order backlog. Orders in the current period came in lower than in the prior-year period, but the Division's book-to-bill ratio for the quarter was well above 1 and its order backlog remained robust.

The Energy Sector's two power grid infrastructure businesses continued to deliver steady profi t growth in their profi t margin ranges. Power Transmission posted profi t of €152 million in the fi rst quarter, up 22% compared to the prior-year period, on a 21% increase in revenue. First-quarter orders for the Division were nearly unchanged year-over-year. Power Distribution increased fi rst-quarter profi t even more sharply, to €107 million, as all business units improved profi tability compared to the same period a year earlier. Revenue rose 10% year-over-year, while orders came in 7% lower.

The Healthcare Sector continued to compete successfully in a challenging environment, as slower growth and tighter credit conditions spread beyond the U.S. to other regions. First-quarter Sector profi t increased to €342 million, and the Imaging & IT Division was one of Siemens' top profi t contributors in the quarter. Charges related to a major project at Workfl ow & Solutions held back profi t growth year-over-year. The Diagnostics Division recorded a total of €66 million in PPA effects and integration costs associated with acquisitions, including Dade Behring. PPA effects and integration costs were equivalent to 220 basis points of Sector profi t margin in the fi rst quarter, compared to 320 basis points in the prior-year period.

Healthcare's fi rst-quarter revenue and orders rose 11% and 3%, respectively, including new volume from the acquisition of Dade Behring. The book-to-bill ratio for the Sector was 0.99, compared to 1.06 in the same quarter a year ago.

Imaging & IT increased fi rst-quarter profi t 13% year-over-year, to €262 million. The overall medical imaging market in the U.S. remains challenging, with demand limited by tight credit and the Defi cit Reduction Act (DRA). Nevertheless, Imaging & IT achieved a 7% rise in revenue and a 1% increase in orders. On an organic basis, revenue was up 4% and orders were 2% below the level of the prior-year period.

Diagnostics contributed €83 million to Sector profi t in the fi rst quarter, up from €67 million in the same quarter a year earlier. For comparison, that prior-year period included only two months of income from Dade Behring. PPA effects and integration costs related to acquisitions were equivalent to approximately 760 basis points of profi t margin in the current quarter, including PPA effects of €46 million and integration costs of €20 million. A year earlier, fi rst-quarter PPA and integration costs at Diagnostics were €51 million and €35 million, respectively, equivalent to more than 1200 basis points of profi t margin. Revenue and orders for the Division both rose more than 20% in the current period, benefi ting from an additional month of volume from Dade Behring compared to the prior-year period. On an organic basis, revenue rose 2% and orders were up 1%.

Workfl ow & Solutions posted a loss of €6 million in the fi rst quarter. This result included €41 million in further charges related to project delays in the particle therapy business, partly offset by €11 million in divestment gains.

Equity Investments

Equity Investments includes equity stakes not allocated to a Sector or Cross-Sector Business by reason of strategic fi t or held for sale and available-for-sale securities. Prior-period results for Equity Investments are reclassifi ed to provide a consistent comparison. Major components of Equity Investments include NSN and BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH. Equity Investments in the fi rst quarter recorded a profi t of €85 million, compared to €36 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The equity investment loss related to NSN fell to €7 million from €37 million in the prior-year period. First-quarter restructuring and integration costs for NSN were higher year-over-year, at €286 million compared to €120 million in the prior-year quarter. In addition, the increase benefi ted from sales of equity investments. Income from Equity Investments is expected to be volatile in coming quarters.

Siemens IT Solutions and Services posted a profi t of €46 million compared to €70 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. Revenue declined 4% year-over-year, to €1.289 billion. Orders came in slightly above the prior-year level at €1.231 billion. On an organic basis, revenue was up 1% and orders rose 6%.

Profi t (defi ned as income before income taxes) at Siemens Financial Services (SFS) declined, due primarily to a signifi cant increase in reserves for the commercial fi nance business. This was partly offset by a higher profi t in the equity business. Total assets rose to €12.042 billion, driven in part by growth in customer fi nancing activity.

Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements

Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements includes Other Operations, SRE and various categories of items which are not allocated to the Sectors and Cross-Sector Businesses because Management has determined that such items are not indicative of the Sectors' and Cross-Sector Businesses' respective performance.

Other Operations

Other Operations consists primarily of operating business activities not allocated to a Sector or Cross-Sector Businesses. By the end of fi scal 2009, these activities are intended to be integrated into a Siemens Sector or Cross-Sector Business, divested, moved to a joint venture, or closed. During the fi rst quarter, Siemens again made good progress in the implementation of this program. Accordingly, fi rst-quarter revenue fell to €264 million from €708 million in the prior-year period, and the loss from Other Operations dropped to €13 million from €64 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The prior-year period included a goodwill impairment of €70 million related to a building and infrastructure business, and a profi t of €14 million at Siemens Home and Offi ce Communication Devices. As previously reported in the Annual Report for fi scal 2008, Siemens completed the transfer of an 80.2% stake in Siemens Home and Offi ce Communications Devices GmbH & Co. KG to ARQUES Industries AG at the beginning of the current quarter.

Siemens Real Estate (SRE)

Income before income taxes at SRE was €45 million in the fi rst quarter, down from €139 million in the same period a year earlier, primarily due to lower gains from sales of real estate. SRE intends to continue real estate disposals in coming quarters, depending on market conditions.

Corporate items and pensions

Corporate items and pensions totaled a negative €236 million in the fi rst quarter compared to a negative €315 million in the same period a year earlier. The improvement was due to Corporate items, which were a negative €166 million, compared to a negative €338 million in the prior-year period. Within this change, expenses for outside advisors engaged in connection with investigations into alleged violations of anti-corruption laws and related matters as well as remediation activities fell to €49 million from €93 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. In addition, the current period benefi ted from a gain relating to a major asset retirement obligation and a positive effect related to shifting an employment bonus program from cash-based to share-based payment. Centrally carried pension expense swung to a negative €70 million from a positive €23 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier, due primarily to higher interest cost and lower expected return on plan assets.

Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items

Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items in the fi rst quarter was a negative €263 million, compared to a negative €99 million in the prior-year period. The decline was due mainly to negative results of hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting related in particular to a decline in U.S. dollar interest rates.

Reconciliation to EBITDA (continuing operations)

The following table gives additional information on topics included in Profi t and Income before income taxes and provides a reconciliation to EBITDA (adjusted):

Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements

Cash fl ow – First quarter of fi scal 2009 compared to fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008

The following discussion presents an analysis of Siemens' cash fl ows for the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009 and 2008. The table below presents cash fl ows for both continuing and discontinued operations. In the periods under review discontinued operations include SV, which was sold to Continental AG in fi scal 2008, as well as the former Com activities. For information on the disposal of the former operating segment Com see Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2008. For further information on discontinued operations, see "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements."

Siemens reports Free cash fl ow as a performance measure, which is defi ned as "Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities" less cash used for "Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment." We believe this measure is helpful to our investors as an indicator of our ability to generate cash from operations and to pay for discretionary and non-discretionary expenditures not included in the measure, such as dividends, debt repayment or acquisitions. We also use Free cash fl ow to compare cash generation among the segments of our business. Free cash fl ow should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to measures of cash fl ow calculated in accordance with IFRS. For further information about this measure, refer to "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements – Segment information."

* The closest comparable fi nancial measure under IFRS is "Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities." "Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities" from continuing operations as well as from continuing and discontinued operations is reported within the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow" for Siemens. "Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment" from continuing operations is reconciled to the fi gures as reported in the "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow" in the "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements." Other companies that report Free cash fl ow may defi ne and calculate it differently.

Operating activities used net cash of €1.019 billion in the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009, compared to net cash provided of €7 million in the prior-year period. These results include both continuing and discontinued operations. Within the total, continuing operations used net cash of €942 million, compared to net cash provided of €487 million in the same period a year earlier. The current period included substantial cash outfl ows in connection with previously disclosed charges to income in the previous fi scal year. The outfl ows primarily include €1.008 billion paid to authorities in Germany and in the U.S. related to the resolution of legal proceedings and €222 million related to global SG&A reduction, project charges in Fossil Power Generation and Mobility, and structural initiatives in Healthcare, at OSRAM and at Mobility. In addition, the current period includes a higher build-up in inventories, especially in Energy, as well as substantially reduced liabilities. Discontinued operations improved to net cash used of €77 million in the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009. For comparison, net cash used of €480 million in the prior-year period included a payment of a €201 million fi ne related to former Com activities.

Investing activities in continuing and discontinued operations used net cash of €1.943 billion in the fi rst quarter, compared to net cash provided of €5.629 billion in the prior-year period. Within the total, net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations amounted to €1.747 billion in the current quarter and €5.267 billion in the prior-year quarter. The current quarter included cash outfl ows of approximately €0.5 billion related to a drawdown request by NSN in relation to a Shareholder Loan Agreement between Siemens and NSN. In the prioryear quarter, cash outfl ows primarily related to the acquisition of Dade Behring at Healthcare for €4.4 billion (net of €69 million cash acquired). Discontinued operations in the fi rst quarter used net cash of €196 million, including €300 million related to a settlement with the insolvency administrator of BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG. In the same period a year earlier, discontinued operations provided €10.896 billion in net cash due primarily to proceeds of approximately €11.4 billion from the sale of SV.

Free cash fl ow from continuing and discontinued operations for Siemens amounted to a negative €1.651 billion in the fi rst quarter, compared to a negative €801 million in the prior-year period. Within the total, Free cash fl ow for continuing operations in the current quarter amounted to a negative €1.574 billion, compared to a negative €217 million in the fi rst quarter a year earlier. The change year-over-year was due primarily to the decrease in Net cash provided by operating activities as discussed above. Cash used for capital expenditure within continuing operations was €632 million in the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, down from cash used of €704 million in the prior-year period. The cash conversion rate for continuing operations, calculated as Free cash fl ow from continuing operations divided by income from continuing operations, was a negative 1.25 for the fi rst quarter.

Financing activities from continuing and discontinued operations provided net cash of €2.110 billion in the fi rst quarter, compared to net cash used of €4.027 billion in the prior-year quarter. In the current period, changes in short-term debt provided net cash of approximately €2.5 billion, mainly due to the issuance of commercial paper. In the prior-year quarter, short-term debt was reduced by €3.573 billion, due mainly to the repayment of commercial paper and medium term notes and the repayment of debt originally raised by Dade Behring in the amount of €0.4 billion.

Capital resources and requirements

Our capital resources consist of a variety of short- and long-term fi nancial instruments including loans from fi nancial institutions, commercial paper, medium-term notes and bonds. In addition, other capital resources consist of liquid resources such as cash and cash equivalents, future cash fl ows from operating activities and current available-for-sale fi nancial assets. Our capital requirements include, among others, scheduled debt service, regular capital spending, ongoing cash requirements from operating activities, dividend payments and capital requirements for our share buyback plan. In the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, cash outfl ows totaled €1.230 billion in connection with the fi scal 2008 charges mentioned above for the resolution of legal proceedings in Germany and the U.S., as well as charges related to project reviews, structural initiatives at Healthcare and Industry and the global SG&A reduction program. These outfl ows represent approximately half of the total expected cash outfl ows in the current fi scal year related to these charges.

Total debt relates to our commercial paper, medium-term notes, bonds, loans from banks and other fi nancial indebtedness such as obligations under fi nance leases. Total debt comprises Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt and Long-term debt as stated on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total liquidity refers to the liquid fi nancial assets we had available at the respective balance sheet dates to fund our business operations and pay for near term obligations. Total liquidity comprises Cash and cash equivalents and current Available-for-sale fi nancial assets, as stated on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net debt results from total debt less total liquidity. Management uses the net debt measure for internal corporate fi nance management, as well as for external communication with rating agencies, and accordingly we believe that presentation of net debt may be useful for investors. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to short-term debt and long-term debt as presented in accordance with IFRS.

Net debt was €14.210 billion as of December 31, 2008, compared to €9.034 billion as of September 30, 2008. Within net debt Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt increased by €3.095 billion compared to the end of the prior fi scal year, mainly on an higher amount of outstanding commercial paper. For further information please refer to "Cash fl ow – First quarter of fi scal 2009 compared to fi rst quarter of fi scal 2008 – Financing activities" above.

The Company has an EMTN program under which it may issue medium-term notes. Siemens increased the maximum issuable amount under this program from €5.0 billion to €10.0 billion in December 2008. The nominal amount outstanding under the medium term note program was approximately €4.9 billion as of December 31, 2008.

For further information regarding recent capital market transactions and our capital resources and capital requirements, please refer to "Liquidity and capital resources" and Note 23 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in our Annual Report for fi scal 2008.

Pension plan funding

At the end of the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, the combined funding status of Siemens' principal pension plans showed an underfunding of €4.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of €2.5 billion at the end of fi scal 2008. The decline in funding status is due primarily to a signifi cant decrease in the discount rate assumption as of December 31, 2008, which increased Siemens' estimated defi ned benefi t obligation (DBO), and furthermore due to negative effects of service and interest cost on the defi ned benefi t obligation and a negative actual return on plan assets. While fi xed-income investments yielded positive results in the fi rst quarter, a negative performance in equity investments resulted in an actual return on plan assets of a negative €181 million. This represents a return of a negative 3.1% on an annualized basis, compared to the expected annual return of 6.5%.

The fair value of plan assets of Siemens' principal funded pension plans as of December 31, 2008, was €19.4 billion, compared to €20.2 billion as of September 30, 2008. In the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, employer contributions amounted to €28 million compared to €393 million in the prior-year period. Besides the negative actual return on plan assets, the decrease in plan assets was due to benefi ts paid during the three months period and currency translation effects.

The estimated DBO for Siemens' principal pension plans amounted to €23.7 billion as of December 31, 2008, approximately €1.0 billion higher than the DBO of €22.7 billion as of September 30, 2008. The difference is due to a signifi cant decrease in the discount rate assumption as of December 31, 2008 and to a minor extent to the net of service and interest cost less benefi ts paid during the three months period, partly compensated by currency translation effects.

For more information on Siemens' pension plans, see "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements."

Risk management

Within the scope of its entrepreneurial activities and the variety of its operations, Siemens is exposed to numerous risks which could negatively affect business development. For the early recognition and successful management of relevant risks we employ a number of coordinated risk management and control systems. Risk management facilitates the sustainable protection of our future corporate success as an integral part of all decisions and business processes of the Company.

In Siemens' Annual Report for fi scal 2008 we described certain risks which could have a material adverse effect on our fi nancial condition or results of operations and the design of our risk management system.

For signifi cant developments regarding the impact of slowing global economic growth and tight credit markets on Siemens' revenue, income and cash fl ows, as well as risks related to legal, compliance and regulatory developments, please refer to the sections entitled "Overview of fi nancial results for the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009," "Segment information analysis," "Legal proceedings" and "Outlook" within this Interim Report.

During the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009 we identifi ed no further signifi cant risks besides those presented in the Annual Report for fi scal 2008 and in the sections of this Interim Report entitled "Overview of fi nancial results for the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009," "Segment information analysis," "Legal proceedings" and "Outlook." Additional risks not known to us or that we currently consider immaterial could also impair our business operations. We do not expect to incur any risks that alone or in combination would appear to jeopardize the continuity of the Company's business.

For information concerning forward-looking statements and additional information, please also refer to "Outlook" and the "Disclaimer" at the end of the "Interim group management report."

Legal proceedings

For information on legal proceedings, see "Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements."

Subsequent events

In January 2009, Siemens announced that it will terminate the Shareholders Agreement for the joint venture Areva NP S.A.S. as contractually specifi ed effective latest January 30, 2012, and sell its 34% minority interest in Areva NP S.A.S. to the majority shareholder Areva S.A. under the terms of a put agreement. The transaction is subject to the approval of antitrust authorities.

Outlook

Achieving previously announced income targets for fi scal 2009 has become even more ambitious due to market conditions. Total Sectors profi t is targeted to reach €8.0 to €8.5 billion in fi scal 2009, provided that customers do not materially slow conversion of booked orders to revenue and pricing does not further diminish due to continued adverse market development. This outlook excludes impacts from legal and regulatory matters. As in the past, Siemens continues to closely monitor global fi nancial and macroeconomic developments and their potential impact on Siemens.

Earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT (adjusted); Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA (adjusted); Return on capital employed (ROCE); Return on equity (ROE); Free cash fl ow; Cash conversion rate; and adjusted or organic growth rates of revenue and new orders are or may be non-GAAP fi nancial measures. These non-GAAP fi nancial measures should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to measures of our fi nancial condition, results of operations or cash fl ows as presented in accordance with IFRS in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Information for a reconciliation of these amounts to the most directly comparable IFRS fi nancial measures is available on our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/investors -> Financial Publications. "Profi t Total Sectors" is reconciled to "Income from continuing operations before income taxes" in the table "Segment Information."

This document contains forward-looking statements and information – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. These statements may be identifi ed 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 and recessionary trends); the possibility that customers will delay conversion of booked orders into revenue or that our pricing power will be diminished by continued adverse market developments, to a greater extent than we currently expect; the behavior of fi nancial markets, including fl uctuations in interest and exchange rates, commodity and equity prices, debt prices (credit spreads) and fi nancial assets generally; continued volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the commercial credit environment and, in particular, additional uncertainties arising out of the subprime, fi nancial market and liquidity crises; future fi nancial performance of major industries that we serve, including, without limitation, the Sectors Industry, Energy and Healthcare; the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other signifi cant portfolio measures; 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, including corruption investigations to which we are currently subject and actions resulting from the fi ndings of these investigations; 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 fi nancial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained throughout this report and in our other fi lings 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.

Additionally, the Company consolidates special purpose entities (SPEs) when, based on the evaluation of the substance of the relationship with Siemens, the Company concludes that it controls the SPE. Associated companies – companies in which Siemens has the ability to exercise signifi cant infl uence over operating and fi nancial policies (generally through direct or indirect ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting rights) – are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting. Companies in which Siemens has joint control are also accounted for under the equity method.

Use of estimates – The preparation of fi nancial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the fi nancial statements as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income taxes – In interim periods, tax expense is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate.

Reclassifi cation – The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassifi ed to conform to the current year presentation.

Principal pension benefi ts: Pension obligations and funded status

At the end of the fi rst three months of fi scal 2009, the combined funding status of Siemens' principal pension plans showed an underfunding of €4.3 billion, compared to an underfunding of €2.5 billion at the end of fi scal 2008. The decline in funding status is due primarily to a signifi cant decrease in the discount rate assumption at December 31, 2008, which increased Siemens' estimated defi ned benefi t obligation (DBO), and furthermore due to negative effects of service and interest cost on the defi ned benefi t obligation and a negative actual return on plan assets.

10 Shareholders' equity

Treasury Stock

In the three months ended December 31, 2008, Siemens repurchased a total of 66 shares and sold a total of 894,282 of Treasury Stock. Thereof, 894,274 shares were issued and granted to stock award plan participants.

At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on January 27, 2009, the Company's shareholders passed resolutions with respect to the Company's equity, approving and authorizing:

^M a dividend of €1.60 per share.
^M the Company to acquire up to 10% of its capital stock existing at the date of the Shareholders' resolution, which represents 91,420,342 Treasury shares. The authorization becomes effective on March 1, 2009, and remains in force through July 26, 2010. The previous authorization, granted at the January 24, 2008 Shareholders' Meeting terminates as of the effective date of the new resolution. The use of treasury stock primarily remained unchanged.
M the Managing Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase capital stock through the issuance of no par value shares registered in the names of the holders and to determine the further content of the rights embodied in the shares and the terms and conditions of the share issue, until January 26, 2014 by up to €520.8 (nominal) through the issuance of up to 173,600 thousand shares against contributions in cash/or in kind (Authorized Capital 2009).

12 Legal proceedings

For information regarding investigations and other legal proceedings in which Siemens is involved, as well as the potential risks associated with such proceedings and their potential fi nancial impact on the Company, please refer to Siemens' Annual Report for the fi scal year ended September 30, 2008 (Annual Report) and its annual report on Form 20-F for the fi scal year ended September 30, 2008 (Form 20-F), and, in particular, to the information contained in "Item 3: Key Information – Risk Factors," "Item 4: Information on the Company – Legal Proceedings," and "Item 15: Controls and Procedures" of the Form 20-F.

Signifi cant developments regarding investigations and other legal proceedings that have occurred since the publication of Siemens' Annual Report and Form 20-F are described below.

Public corruption proceedings

Governmental and related proceedings

On December 15, 2008, Siemens AG announced that legal proceedings against it arising from allegations of bribing public offi cials were concluded on the same day in Munich, Germany, and in Washington, DC.

The Munich public prosecutor announced the termination of legal proceedings alleging the failure of the former Managing Board of Siemens AG to fulfi ll its supervisory duties. Siemens agreed to pay a fi ne of €395. The payment of the fi ne marks the conclusion of this legal proceeding against the Company by the Munich public prosecutor. The investigations of former members of the Managing Board, employees of the Company and other individuals remain unaffected by this resolution.

In Washington, DC, Siemens AG pleaded guilty in federal court to criminal charges of knowingly circumventing and failing to maintain adequate internal controls and failing to comply with the books and records provisions of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). In related cases, three Siemens' foreign subsidiaries, Siemens S.A. (Argentina), Siemens Bangladesh Ltd. and Siemens S.A. (Venezuela), pleaded guilty to individual counts of conspiracy to violate the FCPA. In connection with these pleas, Siemens AG and the three subsidiaries agreed to pay a fi ne of US\$450 million to resolve the charges of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). At the same time, Siemens AG settled a civil action against it brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for violations of the FCPA. Without admitting or denying the allegations of the SEC complaint, Siemens agreed to the entry of a court judgment permanently restraining and enjoining Siemens AG from violations of the FCPA and to the disgorgement of profi ts in the amount of US\$350 million.

The agreement refl ects the U.S. prosecutors' express recognition of Siemens' extraordinary cooperation as well as Siemens' new and comprehensive compliance program and extensive remediation efforts. Based on these facts, the lead agency for U.S. federal government contracts, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), issued a formal determination that Siemens remains a responsible contractor for U.S. government business.

Under the terms of the plea and settlement agreements reached in the United States, Siemens has engaged Dr. Theo Waigel, former German federal fi nance minister, as compliance monitor to evaluate and report, for a period of up to four years, on the Company's progress in implementing and operating its new compliance programs.

In the fourth quarter of fi scal 2008, the Company accrued a provision in the amount of approximately €1 billion in connection with the discussions with the Munich public prosecutor, the SEC and DOJ for the purpose of resolving their respective investigations. Cash outfl ows relating to the fi nes and disgorgements referred to above during the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009 amounted to €1.008 billion.

As previously reported, in October 2007, the Munich public prosecutor terminated a similar investigation relating to Siemens' former telecommunications or Communications (Com) Group. Siemens paid €201 in connection with the termination of this investigation. This brings the total amount paid to authorities in Germany in connection with these legal proceedings to €596.

As previously reported, in August 2007, the Nuremberg-Fürth prosecutor began an investigation into possible violations of law in connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. In December 2008, the prosecutor dismissed charges against all accused.

The São Paulo, Brazil, Public Prosecutor's Offi ce has launched an investigation against Siemens. According to press reports, this may be with regard to suspicious payments relating to the former Com Group in 2000.

The Company remains subject to corruption-related investigations in several 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. 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, fi nancial results and reputation may also be negatively affected, particularly due to imposed penalties, fi nes, disgorgements, compensatory damages, third-party litigation, including by competitors, the formal or informal exclusion from public procurement contracts or the loss of business licenses or permits. Additional expenses and provisions may need to be recorded in the future for penalties, fi nes, damages or other charges, which could be material, in connection with the investigations.

Civil litigation

As previously reported, an alleged holder of Siemens AG American Depositary Shares fi led a derivative lawsuit in February 2007 with the Supreme Court of the State of New York against certain current and former members of Siemens AG's Managing and Supervisory Boards as well as against Siemens AG as a nominal defendant, seeking various forms of relief relating to the allegations of corruption and related violations at Siemens. The stay agreement with respect to the suit was terminated in December 2008.

Siemens' response

As previously reported, the Company investigates evidence of bank accounts at various locations, as well as the amount of the funds. Certain funds have been frozen by authorities. During the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, the Company recorded immaterial amounts in other operating income from the recovery of funds from certain such accounts.

Antitrust proceedings

As previously reported, in February 2007, the Norwegian Competition Authority launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving Norwegian companies active in the fi eld of fi re security, including Siemens Building Technologies AS. In December 2008, the Norwegian Competition Authority issued a fi nal decision that Siemens Building Technologies AS had not violated antitrust regulations.

As previously reported, in February 2007, the European Commission launched an investigation into possible antitrust violations involving European producers of power transformers, including Siemens AG and VA Tech, which Siemens acquired in July 2005. The German Antitrust Authority (Bundeskartellamt) has become involved in the proceeding and is responsible for investigating those allegations that relate to the German market. Power transformers are electrical equipment used as major components in electric transmission systems in order to adapt voltages. The Company is cooperating in the ongoing investigation with the European Commission and the German Antitrust Authority. In November 2008, the European Commission fi nalized its investigation and forwarded its statement of objections to the involved companies.

As previously reported, on October 25, 2007, upon the Company's appeal, a Hungarian competition court reduced administrative fi nes imposed on Siemens AG for alleged antitrust violations in the market of highvoltage gas-insulated switchgear from €0.320 to €0.120 and from €0.640 to €0.110 regarding VA Tech. The Company and the Competition Authority appealed the decision. In November 2008, the Court of Appeal confi rmed the reduction of the fi nes. On December 5, 2008, the Competition Authority fi led an extraordinary challenge with the Supreme Court based on alleged violations of law.

As previously reported, a suit and motion for approval of a class action was fi led in Israel in December 2007 to commence a class action based on the fi nes imposed by the European Commission for alleged antitrust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market. Thirteen companies were named as defendants in the suit and motion, among them Siemens AG Germany, Siemens AG Austria and Siemens Israel Ltd. The class action alleged damages to electricity consumers in Israel in the amount of approximately €575 related to higher electricity prices claimed to have been paid because of the alleged antitrust violations. At a hearing on December 11, 2008, the plaintiff requested to withdraw from the action and from the motion to certify the action as a class action. The court approved the request and dismissed the action and the motion to certify.

In November 2008, a claim was issued by National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc. (National Grid) in the High Court of England and Wales in connection with the January 24, 2007 decision of the European Commission regarding alleged antitrust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market. Twenty-one companies have been named as defendants, including Siemens AG and Siemens affi liates. National Grid asserts claims in the aggregate amount of approximately £249 million for damages and compound interest. Siemens believes National Grid's claim to be without merit and intends to contest it.

In December 2008, the Company was informed that the Turkish Competition Authority has opened an investigation into violations of competition law in the area of medical equipment spare parts and service keys.

Other proceedings

In February 2007, the Company announced that public prosecutors in Nuremberg are conducting an investigation of certain current and former employees of the Company on suspicion of criminal breach of fi duciary duties against Siemens, tax evasion and a violation of the German Works Council Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). The investigation related to an agreement entered into by Siemens with an entity controlled by the former head of the independent employee association AUB (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Unabhängiger Betriebsangehöriger) and payments made during the period 2001 to 2006 for which Siemens may not have received commensurate services in return. In April 2007, the labor union IG Metall lodged a criminal complaint against unknown individuals on suspicion that the Company breached the provisions of Section 119 of the Works Council Constitution Act by providing undue preferential support to AUB in connection with elections of the members of the Company's works councils. In November 2008, the Regional Court of Nuremberg-Fürth found a former member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG guilty of criminal breach of fi duciary duty and tax evasion. The Nuremberg-Fürth prosecutor is also conducting an investigation against two other former members of the Managing Board on suspicion of abetting breach of fi duciary duty.

As reported, Siemens AG is member of a supplier consortium consisting of Siemens AG and a further consortium consisting of Areva NP SAS and its 100% affi liate Areva NP GmbH. The Company holds a 34% share in Areva NP SAS. The supplier consortium was contracted by Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) for the nuclear power plant project "Olkiluoto 3" in Finland. The Company's participation in the project is approximately 27%. The Company's Areva consortium partners recently announced that they expect the project to be delayed by 38 months. Since the reasons for the delay are disputed by the parties, the supplier consortium fi led a request for arbitration in December 2008 against TVO demanding an extension of time for construction and approximately €1 billion for outstanding payments and additional compensation. TVO has not yet fi led its response to the request for arbitration, but has alleged in pre-arbitral correspondence that it is entitled to delay damages from the supplier consortium of approximately €2.4 billion.

On November 25, 2008, Siemens announced that the Company and the BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. OHG Insolvency Administrator had reached a settlement after constructive discussions that began in 2006. In the settlement agreement, Siemens agreed to a gross payment of €300, which was paid in December 2008. However, the settlement is expected to result in a net payment of approximately €255 after taking into account Siemens' creditor claims. Since Siemens had made a suffi cient provision for the expected settlement, the settlement will not have any material negative impact on results of operations for fi scal 2009.

In December 2008, the Polish Agency of Internal Security (AWB) remanded into custody an employee of Siemens Healthcare Poland, in connection with an investigation regarding a public tender issued by the hospital of Wroczlaw in 2008. According to the AWB, the Siemens employee and the deputy hospital director are accused of having manipulated the tender procedure.

For certain legal proceedings information required under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets is not disclosed, if the Company concludes that the disclosure can be expected to prejudice seriously the outcome of the litigation.

In addition to the investigations and legal proceedings described in Siemens' Annual Report as well as in Form 20-F and as updated above, Siemens AG and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in connection with their activities as a global diversifi ed group. Some of these pending proceedings have been previously disclosed. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial compensatory or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Siemens is from time to time also involved in regulatory investigations beyond those described in its Annual Report as well as Form 20-F and as updated above. Siemens is cooperating with the relevant authorities in several jurisdictions and, where appropriate, conducts internal investigations regarding potential wrongdoing with the assistance of in-house and external counsel. Given the number of legal actions and other proceedings to which Siemens is subject, some may result in adverse decisions. Siemens contests actions and proceedings when it considers it appropriate. In view of the inherent diffi culty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, Siemens may not be able to predict what the eventual loss or range of loss related to such matters will be. The fi nal resolution of the matters discussed in this paragraph could have a material effect on Siemens' consolidated operating results for any reporting period in which an adverse decision is rendered. However, Siemens does not currently expect its consolidated fi nancial position to be materially affected by the additional legal matters discussed in this paragraph.

13 Share-based payment

Share-based payment plans at Siemens, including the share matching program and its underlying plans as well as the jubilee program which were introduced in fi scal 2009, are predominantly designed as equity-settled plans and to a certain extent as cash-settled plans. Total pre-tax expense for share-based payment recognized in Net income in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to €148 and €58, respectively.

For further information on Siemens' share-based payment plans, see the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2008.

Stock awards

In the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company granted 1,992,392 stock awards to 4,156 employees and members of the Managing Board, of which 252,329 awards were granted to the Managing Board. Details on stock award activity and weighted average grant-date fair value for the three months ended December 31, 2008 are:

	Awards	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Non-vested, beginning of period	3,489,768	€67.56

Forfeited	(130,915)	€56.62
Non-vested, end of period	4,470,148	€56.90

Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends, which resulted in a fair value of €37.65 and €97.94 per stock award granted in November 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total fair value of stock awards granted in the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amounted to €75 and €72, respectively.

Base Share Program

In the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, Siemens replaced its previous employee share purchase program by the Base Share Program. Under the Base Share Program, members of the Managing Board and employees of Siemens AG and participating Siemens companies may purchase a limited number of Siemens shares at a preferential price once a year. Up to a stipulated date in the fi rst quarter of the fi scal year, employees may order the shares, which are usually issued in the second quarter of the fi scal year. The Base Share Program is measured at fair value. In the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred pre-tax expense of €43, based on a preferential share price of €22 per share and a grant-date fair value of the equity instrument of €25.56 per share. In the three months ended December 31, 2007, under the previous employee share purchase program, the Company incurred pre-tax compensation expense of €27, based on a preferential price of €69.19 per share, and a grantdate fair value of €37.20, per share. Shares purchased under the Base Share Program, grant the right to receive matching shares under the same conditions described below at Share Matching Plan.

Share Matching Plan

In the fi rst quarter of fi scal 2009, the Company introduced the Share Matching Plan to members of the Managing Board and to employees of Siemens AG and Siemens companies. Plan participants may invest a certain percentage of their compensation in Siemens shares at a predetermined price set at the resolution date (investment shares). In exchange, plan participants receive the right to one free share (matching share) for every three investment shares continuously held over a period of three years (vesting period) provided the plan participant has been continuously employed by Siemens AG or another participating Siemens company until the end of the vesting period. Up to a stipulated date in the fi rst quarter of each fi scal year, employees may order the investment shares, which are issued in the second quarter of the fi scal year. During the vesting period, matching shares are not entitled to dividends. The right to receive matching shares forfeits if the underlying investment shares are transferred, sold, pledged or otherwise encumbered. The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company will decide, each fi scal year, whether the Share Matching Plan will be issued again.

Jubilee Share Program

In the three months ended December 31, 2008, Siemens changed its jubilee benefi t program, which applies to certain Siemens companies, from cash to share-based compensation including amounts under the previous program. Under the share-based jubilee program, eligible employees are granted a certain number of shares after having been (continuously) employed with the Company for 25 and 40 years (vesting period), respectively. Settlement is in shares only. The share awards are measured at fair value considering biometrical factors. The fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares at grant date less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the years of service until the jubilee date. The weighted average fair value of each share award granted under the jubilee share program for the 25th and the 40th jubilee is €24.47 and €19.18, respectively. In the three months ended December 31, 2008, 4,415,230 jubilee shares were granted.

15 Segment information

Segment information is presented for continuing operations. Accordingly, current and prior period segment information excludes discontinued operations. For a description of the Siemens segments see Note 37 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2008.

Reconciliation to consolidated fi nancial statements

Reconciliation to consolidated fi nancial statements contains businesses and items not directly related to Siemens' reportable segments:

Other Operations primarily refers to operating activities not associated with a Siemens segment and certain net assets recently acquired as part of acquisitions for which the allocation to the cash generating units and segments are not yet fi nalized. In the fi rst half of fi scal 2008, Siemens determined a course of action for each of the activities within Other Operations and began executing corresponding measures. Options under this transformation program include integration into Siemens segments, divestment, joint venture or closure.

Siemens Real Estate (SRE), which no longer exists as a segment, owns and manages a substantial part of Siemens' real estate portfolio and offers a range of services encompassing real estate development, real estate disposal and asset management, as well as lease and services management.

Corporate items and pensions includes corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, corporate projects and non-operating investments or results of corporate-related derivative activities. Pensions includes the Company's pension related income (expense) not allocated to the segments, SRE or Other Operations.

Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items comprises consolidation of transactions within the segments, certain reconciliation and reclassifi cation items and the activities of the Company's Corporate Treasury. It also includes interest income and expense, such as, for example, interest not allocated to segments or Other Operations (referred to as fi nancing interest), interest related to Corporate Treasury activities or resulting consolidation and reconciliation effects on interest.

Measurement – Segments

Accounting policies for Segment Information are based on those used for Siemens, which are described in Note 2 of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2008, except as discussed below. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments. Intersegment transactions are generally based on market prices.

Profi t of the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services: Siemens' Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the segments. The Company's profi tability measure of the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services is earnings before fi nancing interest, certain pension costs, and income taxes (Profi t) as determined by the chief operating decision maker. Profi t excludes various categories of items, which are not allocated to the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services since Management does not regard such items as indicative of their performance. Profi t represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market fi nancing issues. The major categories of items excluded from Profi t are presented below.

Financing interest, excluded from Profi t, is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Profi t because decision-making regarding fi nancing is typically made at the corporate level.

Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Profi t primarily includes amounts related to service costs of pension plans only, while all other regularly recurring pension related costs (including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs) are included in the line item Corporate items and pensions.

Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Profi t since income tax is subject to legal structures, which typically do not correspond to the structure of the segments.

The effect of certain litigation and compliance issues is excluded from Profi t, if such items are not indicative of the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services' performance, since their related results of operations may be distorted by the amount and the irregular nature of such events. This may also be the case for items that refer to more than one reportable segment, SRE and/or Other Operations or have a corporate or central character.

Profi t of the segment SFS:

Profi t of the segment SFS is Income before income taxes. In contrast to performance measurement principles applied to the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services, interest income and expense is an important source of revenue and expense of SFS.

Asset measurement principles:

Management determined Assets as a measure to assess capital intensity of the Sectors, Equity Investments and Siemens IT Solutions and Services (Net capital employed). Its defi nition corresponds to the Profi t measure. It is based on Total assets of the Balance Sheet, primarily excluding intragroup fi nancing receivables, intragroup investments and tax related assets, since the corresponding positions are excluded from Profi t. The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest-bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities (e.g. trade payables) and provisions to derive Assets. In contrast, Assets of SFS is Total assets. A reconciliation of Assets disclosed in Segment Information to Total assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented below.

New orders:

New orders are determined principally as estimated revenue of accepted customer purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent.

Free cash fl ow defi nition:

Segment Information discloses Free cash fl ow and Additions to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Free cash fl ow of the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services constitutes net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. It excludes Financing interest as well as income tax related and certain other payments and proceeds, in accordance with the Company's Profi t and Asset measurement defi nition. Free cash fl ow of SFS, a fi nancial services business, includes related fi nancing interest payments and proceeds; income tax payments and proceeds of SFS are excluded.

Amortization, depreciation and impairments:

Amortization, depreciation and impairments presented in Segment Information includes depreciation and impairments of property, plant and equipment as well as amortization and impairments of intangible assets other than goodwill and impairment of non-current available-for-sale fi nancial assets and investments accounted for using the equity method.

Measurement – Other Operations and SRE

Other Operations follows the measurement principles of the Sectors, Equity Investments, and Siemens IT Solutions and Services. SRE applies the measurement principles of SFS.

The revised long-term compensation component is now €250 for each 1 cent by which the average earnings per share as disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three previous fi scal years exceed the amount of €2.00 (minimum amount). The minimum amount is increased annually by 10% beginning with the fi scal year starting on October 1, 2009. Payments will be made annually.

Review report

To Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich (the Company) – comprising the balance sheet, the statements of income, income and expense recognized in equity and cash fl ow and selected explanatory notes – together with the interim group management report of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich for the period from October 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008 that are part of the quarterly fi nancial report according to § 37x Abs. 3 WpHG. The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with those IFRS applicable to interim fi nancial reporting 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, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review. In addition we have been instructed to issue a report as to whether no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with full IFRS.

We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of fi nancial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) under additional consideration of 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 so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim fi nancial reporting as adopted by the EU and with full IFRS, and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a fi nancial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a fi nancial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed interim consolidated fi nancial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim fi nancial reporting as adopted by the EU and with full IFRS, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.
