Introduction

Siemens AG's Half-year Financial Report complies with the applicable legal requirements of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz – WpHG) and comprises condensed Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements, an Interim Group Management Report and a Responsibility statement in accordance with section 115 WpHG.

The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements are in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU.

This Half-year Financial Report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report for fiscal 2018, which includes a detailed analysis of our operations and activities as well as explanations of financial measures used. Beginning with fiscal 2019, the rail traction drives business was transferred from the Process Industries and Drives Division to the Mobility Division. Prior-period amounts are presented on a comparable basis.

Siemens worldwide

  • Strong order intake for Siemens driven by a higher volume from large orders, particularly in Mobility and Energy Management; increases in the majority of industrial businesses; significant order decline in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE)
  • Currency translation effects added one percentage point, while portfolio transactions had a minimal effect on order growth year-over-year
  • Strong book-to-bill ratio of 1.19; order backlog at €142 billion

Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East

  • Substantial growth in Mobility, including a €1.6 billion contract in the U.K., and in Energy Management was partially offset by a double-digit decline in SGRE
  • Substantial order growth in Germany included several large orders in Mobility and a large high voltage direct current (HVDC) order in Energy Management

Americas

  • Sharp order growth in Mobility, including a €0.8 billion order in Canada and a €0.7 billion order in the U.S., and in SGRE; in addition, double-digit growth in Power and Gas, Building Technologies and Process Industries and Drives
  • In the U.S., increases in nearly all industrial businesses, led by sharp growth in Mobility and substantial growth in SGRE

Asia, Australia

  • Sharp declines in SGRE and Mobility partly offset by a substantial increase in Energy Management
  • Higher order intake in China driven by growth in Energy Management

Siemens worldwide

  • Increase driven by growth in Siemens Healthineers, Process Industries and Drives, Digital Factory and SGRE; clear decline in Power and Gas
  • Currency translation effects added one percentage point, while portfolio transactions had a minimal effect on revenue growth year-over-year

Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East

  • Revenue growth driven by substantial increase in SGRE
  • Broad-based revenue increase in Germany, led by substantial growth in Mobility

Americas

  • Revenue growth benefited from positive currency translation effects; increases in Siemens Healthineers and Energy Management, partially offset by a decline in SGRE
  • Growth in the U.S. mainly from Energy Management, Siemens Healthineers and SGRE

Asia, Australia

Growth in the majority of industrial businesses more than offset by substantial declines in Power and Gas and SGRE

Industrial Business

  • Majority of industrial businesses in or above their respective ranges for Adjusted EBITA margin; strong performances by Digital Factory and Siemens Healthineers, which made the largest contributions to Adjusted EBITA
  • Severance charges for Industrial Business were €147 million (first half FY 2018: €190 million), reducing Industrial Business Adjusted EBITA margin by 0.4 percentage points
  • Despite strong contributions from the service business, Adjusted EBITA at Power and Gas down significantly due mainly to lower revenue, price declines and reduced capacity utilization; global energy trends continue to structurally reduce demand in markets for the Division's offerings, resulting in declining new-unit large turbine business and corresponding price pressure due to structural overcapacities and aggressive competitive behavior
  • Adjusted EBITA at Energy Management declined due including to a less favorable revenue mix in the transmission products business
  • Higher Adjusted EBITA at Process Industries and Drives included an improved operational performance in nearly all businesses

Income from continuing operations before income taxes

  • In the first half of FY 2018, Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements included a gain of €900 million resulting from the transfer of Siemens' shares in Atos SE (Atos) to Siemens Pension-Trust e.V. in Germany and a gain of €655 million from the sale of OSRAM Licht AG (OSRAM) shares; these positive effects were partly offset by an impairment loss of €154 million related to an equity investment
  • Severance charges for continuing operations were €193 million (first half FY 2018: €258 million)

Income from continuing operations

  • Tax rate of 20% benefited from the reversal of income tax provisions outside Germany
  • Tax rate of 17% in the first half of FY 2018 benefited from positive effects from reassessment of tax positions, including a net positive effect of €435 million following the U.S. tax reform, and the largely tax-free gains from the Atos and OSRAM share transactions mentioned above; these factors were only partly offset by negative income tax effects related to establishing the Siemens Healthineers Group

Net income, Basic earnings per share, ROCE

  • Basic earnings per share (EPS) came in lower primarily because the first half of fiscal 2018 included the Atos and OSRAM gains mentioned above; basic EPS in the first half of fiscal 2019 was burdened by €0.16 from severance charges
  • ROCE declined and came in below the target range due mainly to lower Net income

A.1.3 Selected information based on new organizational structure

Beginning with the second half of fiscal 2019, we will report financial results according to our new organizational structure as described in our Annual Report for fiscal 2018. The tables below present selected information based on the new structure. In February 2019, the European Commission announced its decision to prohibit the proposed combination of Alstom SA with Siemens' mobility business.

Equity 47,114 48,046 (2)%
Total liabilities and equity 142,928 138,915 3%

Increase in total assets influenced by positive currency translation effects totaling €2.9 billion (with an impact on goodwill amounting to €0.7 billion), primarily involving the U.S. dollar

Current assets

Higher inventories in almost all industrial businesses, with the build-up most evident at SGRE

Non-current assets

  • Acquisitions of businesses, primarily the acquisition of Mendix, Inc., were the main factor for additions to goodwill and other intangible assets
  • Increase in other financial assets included higher loans receivable

Current liabilities

Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt increased due primarily to the reclassification of €2.7 billion in bonds and €0.9 billion in loans from banks from long-term debt, and also due to an increase in commercial paper; partly offset by the redemption of US\$-bonds totaling €0.6 billion

Non-current liabilities

  • Long-term debt increased due primarily to the issuance of €3.0 billion in bonds along with currency translation effects mainly for bonds issued in the US\$; partly offset by the abovementioned reclassification of bonds and loans from banks to short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt
  • Provisions for pensions and similar obligations as of March 31, 2019: €9.4 billion (September 30, 2018: €7.7 billion); increase due mainly to a lower discount rate assumption, partly offset by positive returns on plan assets; weighted-average discount rate as of March 31, 2019: 1.9% (September 30, 2018: 2.4%)

Equity

Main factors for the decrease related primarily to dividend payments, remeasurements of defined benefit plans, and the purchase of treasury shares; these factors were partly offset by net income and positive currency translation effects

Cash flows from operating activities

  • Five out of eight of our industrial businesses posted cash inflows from operating activities, with strong conversion of profit into cash by Mobility and Building Technologies, and three reported cash outflows
  • Cash outflows of €0.8 billion related to the change in operating net working capital, with the biggest factor being a build-up of inventories, mostly by SGRE

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash outflows of €0.5 billion for the acquisition of Mendix, Inc. in October 2018

Cash flows from financing activities

  • Cash outflows of €3.1 billion for dividends paid to shareholders of Siemens AG
  • Cash inflows of €3.0 billion for the issuance of eurobonds with varied maturities up to 20 years and of €1.2 billion related to outstanding US\$ commercial paper
  • Cash outflows of €0.9 billion for purchase of 8,723 thousand treasury shares at a weighted average price of €101.98 per share
  • Cash outflows of €0.6 billion for the repayment of US\$ bonds

A.4 Outlook

We confirm our financial expectations for fiscal 2019. We assume a continued favorable market environment, particularly for our shortcycle businesses, with limited risks related to geopolitical uncertainties. For fiscal 2019, we expect moderate growth in revenue, net of currency translation and portfolio effects. We further anticipate that orders will exceed revenue for a book-to-bill ratio above 1. We expect a profit margin of 11.0% to 12.0% for our Industrial Business based on our current organizational structure, excluding severance charges. Furthermore we expect basic EPS from net income in the range of €6.30 to €7.00 also excluding severance charges. Fiscal 2018 basic EPS from net income of €7.12 benefited from €1.87 per share in portfolio gains related to our stakes in Atos SE and OSRAM Licht AG and was burdened by €0.76 from severance charges, resulting in €6.01 excluding these factors.

This outlook excludes charges related to legal and regulatory matters.

A.5 Risks and opportunities

In our Annual Report for fiscal 2018 we described certain risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition (including effects on assets, liabilities and cash flows), results of operations and reputation, our most significant opportunities as well as the design of our risk management system.

During the reporting period, we identified no further significant risks and opportunities besides those presented in our Annual Report for fiscal 2018 and in this Half-year Financial Report. 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 either individually or in combination with other risks could endanger our ability to continue as a going concern. We refer also to C.3 Notes and forward-looking statements.

B.6 Notes to Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2019 present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries (the Company or Siemens). These Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements are in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and should be read in conjunction with the Siemens Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2018. The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements apply the same accounting principles and practices as those used in the 2018 annual financial statements, except for the adoption of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) as of October 1, 2018. Results for the interim reporting period are not necessarily indicative of future results. In interim periods, tax expense is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate of Siemens. The presentation of certain prioryear information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The Half-year Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and were authorized for issue by the Managing Board on May 7, 2019. For further information on changes in estimates (including income taxes and pensions), disaggregation of revenue and on segment information, see disclosures in the Interim Group Management Report. Due to rounding, numbers disclosed may not add up precisely to totals provided.

Recent accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted

Regarding the adoption of IFRS 16, Leases, Siemens expects an increase in a low single-digit percentage range in Total assets and in Total liabilities and equity as of October 1, 2019 (opening balance sheet).

Recently adopted pronouncements

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was adopted retrospectively as of October 1, 2018. Comparative figures are not adjusted in accordance with IFRS 9 transitional provisions. IFRS 9 changed the classification of financial instruments, mainly regarding the former available-forsale category: a) most debt instruments are notes and bonds meeting the solely payments of principal and interest criterion; accordingly, as of October 1, 2018, their carrying amount of €1,271 million was reclassified to amortized cost under IFRS 9, b) IAS 39 available-forsale equity instruments with a carrying amount of €297 million were reclassified to fair value through profit or loss and €440 million carrying amount to fair value through other comprehensive income. IFRS 9 increased valuation allowances by €82 million, mostly for lease receivables and loan commitments. Transition effects from adopting IFRS 9 were recognized cumulatively in Equity as of October 1, 2018.

NOTE 10 Subsequent events

Siemens continues to consistently execute Vision 2020+. In May 2019, Siemens announced to further strengthen its Gas and Power business for the future. Siemens plans to carve out this business, and together with its 59% shareholding in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, create a unique new company, offering conventional and renewable power generation, oil and gas solutions as well as grid technology for all power transmission. Siemens plans to partially spin-off this new company to the Siemens shareholders, to list it at the stock market, and to keep significant influence by retaining a shareholding in a range of more than 25% and less than 50%. The spin-off is subject to approval by a Siemens shareholders' meeting.

C.2 Review report

To Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich

We have reviewed the half-year consolidated financial statements comprising the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity, and notes to half-year consolidated financial statements, and the interim group management report, of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich for the period from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to Sec. 115 WpHG ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the half-year consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the half-year consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the half-year consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW - Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) and in supplementary compliance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to making inquiries of company personnel and applying analytical procedures and thus does not provide the assurance that we would obtain from an audit of financial statements. In accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

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

C.3 Notes and forward-looking statements

This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as "expect," "look forward to," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "will," "project" or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens' management, of which many are beyond Siemens' control. These are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including, but not limited to those described in disclosures, in particular in the chapter Risks in the Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, should decisions, assessments or requirements of regulatory authorities deviate from our expectations, or should underlying expectations not occur or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. Siemens neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.

This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens' net assets and financial positions or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently.

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

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

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