As announced in November 2007, Siemens AG organized its operations to create the three Sectors
Industry, Energy and Healthcare which in turn comprise 15 Divisions. Clear responsibilities are
expected to ensure that Siemens is faster in the market and closer to the customers. Siemens
believes that this new and more focused company structure will further increase transparency and
profitability.
Siemens financial reporting was adapted to reflect the new organizational structure in the second
half of the current fiscal year. External financial reporting for the three sectors and for 14
divisions* will begin in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The three Sectors as
well as Strategic Equity Investments (SEI), Siemens IT Solutions and Services and Siemens Financial
Services (SFS) will constitute reportable segments.

This document as well as the exhibits to 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 investigation 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 SECs
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.
