Safe Harbour Statement
This document contains forward-looking statements and information – that is, statements related to future, not past, events. These statements may be identified 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); the challenges of integrating major acquisitions and implementing joint ventures and other significant portfolio measures; changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates; 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, especially the corruption investigations we are currently subject to in Germany, the United States and elsewhere; 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 financial statements; as well as various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained throughout this report and in our other filings 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.
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 flow; and Cash conversion rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Information for a reconciliation of these amounts to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures is available on our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/ir -> Financial Publications. “Profit Total Sectors” is reconciled to “Income from continuing operations before income taxes” under “Reconciliation to consolidated financial statements” in the table “Segment Information.”

What we expect for 2009
The overall economic environment will be less favorable
We will grow our revenues twice as fast as the global GDP
Total Sectors profit will be in the range of € 8.0–8.5 bn
Growth in income from continuing operations is expected to exceed growth in Total Sectors profit
This outlook excludes earnings impacts that may arise from legal and regulatory matters and charges for the SG&A reduction program.

Earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT (adjusted) is Income from continuing operations before income taxes less Financial income (expense), net and Income (loss) from investments accounted for using the equity method, net.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA (adjusted) is EBIT before Depreciation and Amortization, defined as amortization and impairments of intangible assets and depreciation and impairments of property, plant and equipment.
Profit is reconciled to EBIT and EBITDA on the table Segment Information Analysis (II). See our Financial Publications at our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/ir.
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) is a measure of how capital invested in the Company or the Sectors yields competitive returns. For the Company, ROCE is calculated as Net income (before interest) divided by average Capital employed (CE). Net income (before interest) is defined as Net income excluding Other interest income (expense), net and excluding taxes on Other interest income (expense), net. Taxes on Other interest income (expense), net are calculated in simplified form by applying the current tax rate which can be derived from the Consolidated Statements of Income, to Other interest income (expense), net. CE is defined as Total equity plus Long-term debt plus Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt minus Cash and cash equivalents. Because Siemens reports discontinued operations, Siemens also calculates ROCE on a continuing operations basis, using Income from continuing operations rather than Net income. For purposes of this calculation, CE is adjusted by the net figure for Assets classified as held for disposal included in discontinued operations less Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for disposal included in discontinued operations.For the Sectors, ROCE is calculated as Profit divided by average Net capital employed (NCE). Profit for the Sectors is principally defined as earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs and income taxes, whereas certain other items not considered performance indicative by Management may be excluded. NCE for the Sectors is defined as total assets less income tax assets, less non-interest bearing liabilities/provisions other than tax liabilities.Average (Net) Capital employed for the fiscal year is calculated as a “five-point average” obtained by averaging the (Net) Capital employed at the beginning of the first quarter plus the final figures for all four quarters of the fiscal year. For the calculation of the average during for the quarters, see below:

* NCE for Sectors
Our cash target is based on the Cash Conversion Rate (CCR), which serves as a target indicator for the Company’s or the Sector’s cash flow. For the Company, CCR is defined as the ratio of Free cash flow to Net income, where Free cash flow equals the Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Because Siemens reports discontinued operations, this measure is also shown on a continuing operations basis, using Income from continuing operations, Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities – continuing operations and Additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment for continuing operations for the calculation. For the Sectors, CCR is defined as Free cash flow divided by Profit.
Values needed for the calculation of ROCE and CCR can be obtained from the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Profit, Net capital employed (under the column named Assets) and Free cash flow for the Company and the Sectors for previous quarters and also for fiscal 2007 can be found on the Exhibits 99 (b,c,d) to the Siemens Report furnished on Form 6-K to the SEC on June 24, 2008. See our Financial Publications at our Investor Relations website under www.siemens.com/ir.
Our capital structure target is based on an Adjusted industrial net debt divided by EBITDA (adjusted). For the calculation of Adjusted industrial net debt, we subtract from Net debt (defined as Long-term debt plus Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt less Cash and cash equivalents less Available-for-sale financial assets (current)) (1) SFS debt excluding SFS internally purchased receivables and (2) 50% of the nominal amount of our hybrid bond; and add/subtract (3) Funded status of Pension benefits for fiscal 2007, (4) Funded status of Other post- employment benefits; and add (5) Credit guarantees. The components of Net debt are available on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, SFS debt less internally purchased receivables is available in our Management Discussion & Analysis under Capital Resources and Requirements for fiscal 2007. The Funded status of our principle pension plans and Other post-employment benefits, the amount of credit guarantees and the nominal amount of our Hybrid bond is available in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reconciliation and Definitions for Non-GAAP Measures (III)
To measure Siemens’ achievement of the goal to grow at twice the rate of global GDP, we use GDP on real basis (i.e. excluding inflation and currency translation effects) with data provided by Global Insight Inc. and compare those growth rates with growth rates of our revenue (adjusted for portfolio and currency translation effects). In accordance with IFRS, revenue numbers are not adjusted by inflation and currency translation effects.
Return on equity (ROE) margin for SFS was calculated as annualized SFS’ Income before income taxes divided by average allocated equity for SFS. Average allocated equity for the first nine months of fiscal year 2008 is €875 million.The allocated equity for SFS is determined and influenced by the size and quality of its portfolio of commercial finance assets (primarily leases) and equity investments. This allocation is designed to cover the risks of the underlying business and is in line with common credit risk management standards in banking. The actual risk profile of the SFS portfolio is evaluated and controlled monthly and is reflected in the quarterly (commercial finance) and annual (equity investments) adjustment of allocated equity.
Profit Total Sectors, EBIT (adjusted), EBITDA (adjusted), ROCE, ROE, CCR and Adjusted industrial net debt are or may be Non-GAAP financial measures as defined in relevant rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management takes these measures, among others, into account in its management of our business, and for this reason we believe that investors may find it useful to consider these measures in their evaluation of our performance. None of Profit Total Sectors, EBIT (adjusted), EBITDA (adjusted), ROCE and ROE should be viewed in isolation as an alternative to figures reported in our IFRS statement of income for purposes of evaluating our results of operations; CCR should not be viewed in isolation as an alternative to measures reported in our IFRS cash flow statement for purposes of evaluating our cash flows; and Adjusted industrial net debt should not be viewed in isolation as an alternative to liabilities reported in our IFRS balance sheet for purposes of evaluating our financial condition.
