C. INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT

C.1 OVERVIEW FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2014

(THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013)

 

   

Siemens delivered solid results in the first quarter, even though strong currency effects held back volume and income development.

 

   

Orders for the first quarter rose 9% year-over-year, to €20.836 billion, while revenue came in 3% lower, at €17.325 billion. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, orders were up 12% and revenue was just 1% below the prior-year level.

 

   

Total Sectors profit rose 15%, to €1.789 billion, highlighted by a strong performance in Infrastructure & Cities, and income from continuing operations climbed 21%.

 

   

Net income and basic earnings per share (EPS) for the first quarter rose 20% year-over-year, to €1.457 billion and €1.70, respectively.

Management’s perspective on first-quarter results. We believe that we delivered a sound quarter to start our fiscal year. As expected, market conditions were not in our favor. We continue to focus on our productivity program for the year, and on the actions we will take beyond 2014.

Large orders, strong headwinds from currency translation. Orders rose 9% compared to the first quarter a year ago, on a higher volume from large orders, while revenue came in 3% lower. The euro was stronger against all major currencies compared to the same period a year earlier, which took five percentage points from order growth and four percentage points from revenue development. On a comparable basis, excluding currency and portfolio effects, orders rose 12% and revenue declined 1% year-over-year. The book-to-bill ratio for Siemens overall was 1.20. The order backlog (defined as the sum of the order backlogs of the Sectors) again reached the record level of €102 billion.

Rail and wind orders drive double-digit organic growth. Infrastructure & Cities led the Sectors in order growth with a €1.6 billion subway order. Industry orders also rose on major contract wins, while lower orders in Energy and Healthcare included negative currency effects. Orders rose strongly in the region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.), Africa and the Middle East, including the subway and two large wind farms orders. A large onshore wind order drove growth in the Americas, while orders in Asia, Australia included double-digit growth in China. Globally, emerging markets (according to the International Monetary Fund’s definition of Emerging Market and Developing Economies) grew faster than orders overall, at 21% year-over-year, and climbed to €8.486 billion, representing 41% of total orders for the quarter. Organic orders in emerging markets rose 27% year-over-year.

Table of Contents

Organic revenue nearly level, strong currency effects. Infrastructure & Cities delivered 5% revenue growth year-over-year due in part to its acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review. The other Sectors posted declines. On a comparable basis, excluding the currency effects mentioned above, first-quarter revenue rose 1% in Healthcare, was stable in Industry, and came in 4% lower in Energy. First-quarter revenue declined in the Americas and Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East regions, while a double-digit increase in China kept revenue in Asia, Australia level with the prior-year period. Emerging markets reported a 4% decline year-over-year and accounted for €5.691 billion, or 33%, of total revenue for the quarter. Organic revenue growth in emerging markets was 1% for the quarter.

Infrastructure & Cities drives Total Sectors profit improvement. First-quarter Total Sectors profit rose to €1.789 billion, up from €1.560 billion a year earlier, which included €50 million in charges associated with the “Siemens 2014” program. This improvement was due to the Infrastructure & Cities Sector, where profit climbed to €330 million from €141 million a year earlier on a solid performance across the Sector’s Businesses. For comparison, profit in Infrastructure & Cities a year earlier was burdened by €116 million in project charges related mainly to high-speed trains. Profit in Energy also rose, to €506 million from €410 million in the prior-year period, which was burdened by a €157 million loss in the Sector’s solar business and €46 million in charges related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. Charges related to grid connection projects were €67 million in the current period and €28 million a year earlier. Healthcare profit came in at €471 million compared to €503 million a year earlier. Profit at Industry was also lower year-over-year at €482 million, down from €506 million in the prior-year quarter. These decreases include burdens on profit from currency effects, which are expected to continue based on the strength of the euro compared to fiscal 2013.

Higher Total Sectors profit lifts net income. Income from continuing operations rose to €1.386 billion, up from €1.150 billion a year earlier. The increase year-over-year was driven primarily by higher Total Sectors profit and to a lesser extent was also supported by overall improvement outside the Sectors, particularly including considerably higher disposal gains at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) year-over-year. First-quarter net income increased to €1.457 billion, up from €1.214 billion a year earlier, and corresponding basic EPS rose 20% to €1.70 compared to €1.42 in the prior-year period. Within these numbers, income from discontinued operations was €71 million, up from €64 million a year earlier. While income from discontinued operations in the current period benefited from a positive €65 million tax effect related to former Communications activities, the prior-year period included income from discontinued operations of €79 million related to OSRAM.

 

LOGO

First-quarter Free cash flow improves year-over-year. First-quarter Free cash flow from continuing operations improved to a negative €658 million compared to a negative €1.416 billion a year earlier. The current quarter included a build-up of operating net working capital totaling €1.4 billion, compared to €2.6 billion in the prior-year period. The main factors in the build-up in the current quarter were increased inventories and decreased trade payables. Within the Sectors, the largest build-up was in Energy.

 

LOGO

ROCE (adjusted) back in target range. On a continuing basis, ROCE (adjusted) climbed to 18.0% in the current quarter, well within the target range of 15% to 20%. In the prior-year quarter, ROCE (adjusted) on a continuing basis was 14.9%.

Pension plan underfunding improves. The underfunding of Siemens’ pension plans as of December 31, 2013 amounted to €8.0 billion, compared to an underfunding of €8.5 billion at the end of fiscal 2013. Favorable factors including an increase in the discount rate assumption, a positive actual return on plan assets and employer contributions were only partly offset by accrued service and interest costs.

C.2 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

C.2.1 SIEMENS GROUP

C.2.1.1 Orders and revenue

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, orders increased to €20.836 billion, up 9% from the prior-year period, due mainly to a higher volume from large orders. In contrast, three-month revenue came in 3% lower year-over-year. The euro was stronger against all major currencies compared to a year earlier, which took five percentage points from order growth and four percentage points from revenue development.

Orders related to external customers increased 9% compared to the prior-year period. Infrastructure & Cities led the Sectors in order growth, including a €1.6 billion order for two driverless subway lines in Saudi Arabia. In a stabilizing market environment, Industry reported an increase in orders year-over-year. Primarily due to negative currency translation effects, orders in Energy and Healthcare came in below their prior-year levels.

In the region comprising Europe, C.I.S., Africa, and the Middle East, three-month orders increased significantly as the large subway order mentioned above more than offset declines at the other Sectors. Two major orders for offshore wind farms were the main driver for order growth in Germany. A large onshore wind order in the U.S. drove order growth in the Americas, which also recorded higher orders in Infrastructure & Cities and Industry. While orders were stable in the region Asia, Australia, China showed double-digit growth, mainly on large orders for Infrastructure & Cities. A higher volume from major orders in Industry further supported growth in China and for the region. Emerging markets grew faster than orders overall, at 21%, and increased to €8.486 billion, representing 41% of total orders for the period. Organic orders in emerging markets rose 27% year-over-year.

Revenue related to external customers declined 3% compared to the same period a year earlier. Infrastructure & Cities posted revenue growth year-over-year, due in part to its acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review. Three-month revenue in Energy was lower year-over-year, including the currency translation effects mentioned above. Impacted by these effects, Healthcare and Industry also reported declines in revenue for the period.

Revenue declined slightly in the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East, where a significant decline in Energy was partially offset by increases in Infrastructure & Cities and Industry year-over-year. In the

Americas, revenue declined in all Sectors. A double-digit revenue increase in China, supported by all Sectors, kept three-month revenue in Asia, Australia level with the prior-year period. Emerging markets reported a 4% decline year-over-year and accounted for €5.691 billion, or 33%, of total revenue for the period. Organic three-month revenue growth in emerging markets was 1% year-over-year.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the first three months of fiscal 2014 increased to €1.967 billion from €1.700 billion in the first three months of fiscal 2013.

Gross profit was slightly higher due in part to sharply lower project charges year-over-year which are explained in more detail in C.2.2 Segment information. In addition, the prior year included charges for the “Siemens 2014” program in all Sectors totaling €50 million and charges of €46 million in the Energy Sector related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. In contrast, as explained in C.2.1.1 Orders and revenue, revenue declined year-over-year due mainly to the appreciation of the euro against all major currencies and, as a result, had a negative influence on gross profit.

Other operating income more than doubled year-over-year, due in part to substantially higher gains from disposals of real estate at SRE.

Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net increased compared to the prior-year period. The prior-year amount included impairments in the solar business in the Energy Sector that were partially offset by income of €51 million related to Siemens’ stake in NSN. This stake was sold between the periods under review. Other financial income (expenses), net in the first three months of fiscal 2014 included expenses resulting from changes in the fair value of warrants issued together with US$3 billion bonds in fiscal 2012.

Including the developments described above, Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased 16% year-over-year. Due to a lower effective tax rate compared to the first three months of fiscal 2013, Income from continuing operations increased 21% year-over-year.

Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the first three months of fiscal 2014 was €71 million compared to €64 million in the same period a year earlier. While income from discontinued operations in the current period benefited from a positive €65 million tax effect related to former Communications activities, the prior-year period included income from discontinued operations of €79 million related to OSRAM, which was spun off in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

As a result of the increases in both income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations, Net income and Net income attributable to shareholders were 20% higher than in the same period a year earlier.

Corresponding basic earnings per share rose 20% to €1.70 compared to €1.42 in the prior-year period, reflecting higher Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG.

Energy generated profit of €506 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014 in a market environment that remained highly competitive. Profit was held back by €67 million in charges related to grid connection projects. A year earlier, total burdens included €28 million in grid-connection charges, a loss of €157 million in the solar business, and €46 million in charges related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. In the first three months of fiscal 2014, Power Generation and Wind Power increased their profit year-over-year, while Power Transmission posted a higher loss due in part to continuing project execution challenges.

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, revenue for the Sector came in 8% lower than a year ago, and orders were down 2%. On a comparable basis, revenue came in 4% lower and orders rose 3%. Power Generation and Power Transmission posted volume declines compared to the prior-year period. Wind Power increased revenue significantly, and its orders nearly doubled including a major order in the U.S. that is the Division’s largest onshore order ever. This contract win lifted order intake in the Americas region, while Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and Asia, Australia reported declines. Revenue declines in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and the Americas more than offset growth in Asia, Australia. The book-to-bill ratio for Energy was 1.25, and its order backlog was €55 billion at the end of the period.

Beginning in fiscal 2014, the former Fossil Power Generation and Oil & Gas Divisions are combined into a single Division under the name Power Generation.

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, profit at Power Generation was stable year-over-year at €536 million. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period included €46 million in charges related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. The Division’s service business was able to increase its earnings contribution compared to the prior-year period. In contrast, lower revenue took profit down in the fossil solutions and gas turbine businesses. Revenue for the Division as a whole decreased 15% from the first three months of fiscal 2013, due to a number of factors including a global shift in the markets for gas turbines to low-price countries with fewer turnkey opportunities. On a regional basis, revenue declined in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and the Americas. Order intake was significantly below the level of the prior-year period on declines in all three reporting regions, including Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East where Power Generation had taken in a higher volume from large orders, particularly including a combined-cycle power plant in Germany.

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, profit at Wind Power increased to €63 million year-over-year, lifted by a 15% increase in revenue that included expansion of the Division’s service business compared to a year earlier. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period benefited from positive effects related to project completions and the settlement of a claim related to an offshore wind-farm project. Orders nearly doubled in the first three months of fiscal 2014 compared to the low level of the prior-year period, when demand in the U.S. stalled due to potential expiration of tax incentives. Large orders for wind-farms in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East included two major offshore contracts in Germany, while order growth in the Americas included the contract win in the U.S. for the Division’s largest onshore wind order to date.

Power Transmission posted a loss of €84 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, due in part to continuing project execution challenges. Charges of €67 million related mainly to grid connections to offshore wind-farms in Germany, resulting from revised estimates of required resources and personnel as well as delays associated with the projects’ complex marine environment. In the same period a year earlier, the Division’s loss of €16 million included grid-connection project charges of €28 million. Profit was also held back by a higher proportion of projects with low or negligible profit margins. As in prior quarters, orders declined year-over-year, due mainly to selective order intake primarily in the solutions business. This in turn held back revenue development compared to the prior-year quarter. On a regional basis, revenue and orders declined in all three reporting regions. The Division expects continuing challenges in coming quarters.

Healthcare delivered first-quarter profit of €471 million compared to €503 million a year earlier. The decrease includes burdens on profit from currency effects, which are expected to continue based on the strength of the euro compared to fiscal 2013. The Sector also faced ongoing market challenges, including weak economic conditions in Europe, uncertainty in the healthcare market and an excise tax on medical devices in the U.S., and slowing growth in China.

Profit at Diagnostics came in at €100 million compared to €111 million in the prior-year period. Purchase price allocation (PPA) effects related to past acquisitions at Diagnostics were €41 million in the first quarter. A year earlier, Diagnostics recorded €43 million in PPA effects.

Reported revenue and orders for Healthcare were moderately lower than in the prior-year period, with most businesses and all reporting regions posting declines. On a comparable basis, revenue rose 1% and orders were up 4% compared to the prior-year period. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.03, and Healthcare’s order backlog was €7 billion at the end of the first quarter.

The Diagnostics business reported revenue of €909 million in the first-quarter, a 5% decrease from € 961 million a year earlier including declines in all regions. On a comparable basis, Diagnostics revenue was up 1% compared to the prior-year period.

In the first three months of fiscal 2014, Industry reported a profit of €482 million, down from €506 million in the prior-year period. The decrease includes burdens on profit from currency effects, which are expected to continue based on the strength of the euro compared to fiscal 2013. Higher profit at Industry Automation was more than offset by lower earnings at Drive Technologies, where continuing stagnation in its short-cycle businesses led to a less favorable business mix.

Three-month revenue came in 2% below the prior-year level, including unfavorable currency translation effects. Order growth of 8% year-over-year was driven by a substantially higher volume from major orders in the Sector’s long-cycle businesses compared to the prior-year period. On a comparable basis, three-month revenue was stable year-over-year and orders increased 10%. On a geographic basis, revenue growth in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East was more than offset by a decline in the Americas compared to the prior-year period. Revenue was flat in Asia, Australia despite growth in China. In contrast, orders grew significantly in Asia, Australia, driven by China, and showed a clear increase in the Americas. This order growth was partly offset by a clear decline in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. The Sector’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.07 and its order backlog was €10 billion at the end of the period.

Three-month profit for Industry Automation rose to €338 million on a more favorable business mix. The Division recorded PPA effects of €11 million related to LMS International NV (LMS), acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. PPA effects related to the acquisition of UGS Corp. in fiscal 2007 were €35 million in the current period compared to €37 million a year earlier. Revenue for Industry Automation came in slightly higher year-over-year, with increases in Asia, Australia and Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East partially offset by a decline in the Americas. Three-month orders rose 7% compared to the prior-year period, on growth in Asia, Australia and the Americas.

Profit at Drive Technologies came in at €133 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, substantially below the same period a year earlier, on declines in all businesses. The revenue mix was less favorable, as market conditions held back demand for higher-margin offerings in the Division’s short-cycle businesses. Revenue was down slightly, primarily including a decline in the Americas due in part to unfavorable currency translation effects. Orders for the Division increased moderately, due mainly to large internal orders. On an organic basis, three-month revenue was up 1% and orders grew 6% year-over-year.

First-quarter profit for Infrastructure & Cities rose to €330 million, on improved results across the Sector. Key factors included improved project execution in the Transportation & Logistics Business, which delivered a profit in the current quarter compared to a loss in the prior-year quarter, when it recorded €116 million in project charges. Sector profit also rose on a more favorable business mix, particularly within Power Grid Solutions & Products. Positive results from the execution of the “Siemens 2014” program were most evident at the Building Technologies Division.

First-quarter orders rose 45% compared to the prior-year period. The increase was due mainly to a sharply higher volume from major orders, including an order worth €1.6 billion for two driverless subway lines in Saudi Arabia, which will be delivered by the Transportation & Logistics and the Power Grid Solutions & Products Businesses. First-quarter revenue rose 5% year-over-year, driven by a double-digit increase in Transportation & Logistics. On a geographic basis, Infrastructure & Cities achieved double-digit increases in orders in all three regions. Higher revenue year-over-year in Asia, Australia and Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East was slightly offset by a moderate decrease in the Americas. The Sector’s book-to-bill ratio was 1.45 and its order backlog at the end of the quarter was €30 billion.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Siemens’ shares in Atos S.A. have been transferred from Infrastructure & Cities to Equity Investments. Prior-period results are presented on a comparable basis.

Transportation & Logistics posted a profit of €83 million in the first quarter. For comparison, the loss of €54 million in the prior-year period included the €116 million in project charges mentioned above, related mainly to high-speed trains. Transportation & Logistics recorded PPA effects of €13 million related to its acquisition of Invensys Rail which closed in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. First-quarter orders rose sharply year-over-year, due mainly to a higher volume from major orders including a large share of the Saudi Arabia order mentioned above. Revenue was up 22% compared to the prior-year period. Progress in executing large rolling stock projects included regulatory approval for high-speed trains in Germany, four of which were delivered to Deutsche Bahn during the current quarter. Growth in both orders and revenue benefited from the acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review.

First-quarter profit at Power Grid Solutions & Products rose to €127 million from €100 million a year earlier. The improvement was due mainly to a more favorable business mix. Revenue was down slightly year-over-year, while order growth of 7% was driven by major orders for rail electrification, including a share in the Saudi Arabia order mentioned above. On a comparable basis, revenue was up 4% and orders rose 12% year-over-year. On a geographic basis, double-digit order growth in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East was partly offset by slight declines in the Americas and Asia, Australia, while revenue growth in Asia, Australia and Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East was more than offset by a decline in the Americas.

Building Technologies contributed €115 million to Sector profit in the first quarter, up from €92 million in the same period a year ago. The increase was driven mainly by productivity improvements from successful implementation of the “Siemens 2014” program, and by a more favorable business mix resulting from Building Technologies’ strategy of selective order intake in prior periods. Due in part to this ongoing strategy, first-quarter revenue was 4% lower year-over-year and orders came in near the prior-year level.

C.2.2.5 Equity Investments

Profit at Equity Investments was €81 million in the first quarter. For comparison, profit of €122 million a year earlier included €51 million related to Siemens’ stake in NSN. This stake was sold between the periods under review.

(1) The item Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt as well as the item Long-term debt included in total fair value hedge accounting adjustments of €1,166 million as of December 31, 2013 and €1,247 million as of September 30, 2013.

 

(2) The adjustment considers that both Moody’s and S&P view SFS as a captive finance company. These rating agencies generally recognize and accept higher levels of debt attributable to captive finance subsidiaries in determining credit ratings. Following this concept, we exclude SFS Debt in order to derive an adjusted industrial net debt which is not affected by SFS’s financing activities.

 

(3) To reflect Siemens’ total pension liability, adjusted industrial net debt includes line item Post-employment benefits as presented in D.3 Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

 

(4) The adjustment for our hybrid bond considers the calculation of this financial ratio applied by rating agencies to classify 50% of our hybrid bond as equity and 50% as debt. This assignment reflects the characteristics of our hybrid bond such as a long maturity date and subordination to all senior and debt obligations.

 

(5) Debt is generally reported with a value representing approximately the amount to be repaid. However, for debt designated in a hedging relationship (fair value hedges), this amount is adjusted by changes in market value mainly due to changes in interest rates. Accordingly we deduct these changes in market value in order to end up with an amount of debt that approximately will be repaid. We believe this is a more meaningful figure for the calculation presented above. For further information on fair value hedges see Note 31 in D.6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report for fiscal 2013.

 

(6) In order to calculate this ratio, adjusted EBITDA (continuing operations) for the current period needs to be annualized.

C.3.2 CASH FLOWS

The following discussion presents an analysis of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and 2013 for both continuing and discontinued operations.

Cash flows from operating activitiesAfter a strong cash performance at the end of fiscal 2013, continuing operations used cash of €303 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, a reduced cash outflow compared to €1.044 billion in the same period a year earlier. While the cash outflows in both periods were due mainly to a build-up of operating net working capital, the total was €1.4 billion in the current period compared to a considerably higher amount of €2.6 billion in the prior-year period. In the current period, the primary factors in the build-up were a decrease in trade payables and an increase in inventories. Within the Sectors, Energy recorded the largest increase in operating net working capital. Cash outflows in both periods were partly offset by cash inflows related to income from continuing operations of €1.386 billion in the first three months of fiscal 2014 and €1.150 billion in the same period of fiscal 2013, respectively.

Discontinued operations used cash of €36 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, compared to cash provided of €68 million in the prior-year period, which included larger cash inflows at OSRAM.

Cash flows from investing activities—Cash used in investing activities for continuing operations amounted to €905 million in the first quarter, compared to cash used of €576 million in the prior-year period. The increase in cash outflows from investing activities was due mainly to a higher new business volume at SFS, despite substantial early terminations of financings. Cash outflows for receivables from financing activities were €597 million in the first quarter, compared to €119 million in the prior-year period. Cash inflows from disposal of investments, intangibles and property, plant and equipment were €193 million, up from €56 million in the prior-year period due mainly to higher proceeds from disposals of real estate at SRE.

Free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations amounted to a negative €699 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014, compared to a negative €1.395 billion a year earlier. The reduction year-over-year resulted primarily from lower cash outflows from operating activities for continuing operations as discussed above.

On a sequential basis, Free cash flow during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and during fiscal 2013 was as follows:

 

 

LOGO

Cash flows from financing activities—Financing activities for continuing operations provided cash of €938 million in the first quarter, compared to cash used of €1.412 billion in the same period a year earlier. The change in cash flows year-over-year was due mainly to two factors. Firstly, in the current period we recorded cash inflows of €1.138 billion from the change in short-term debt and other financing activities, primarily from the issuance of commercial paper, compared to cash outflows of €21 million in the prior-year period. Secondly, we had no cash outflows for the purchase of treasury shares in the first quarter, compared to €1.219 billion for these transactions in the same period a year earlier.

C.3.3 POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the funded status of Siemens’ defined benefit plans showed an underfunding of €8.6 billion, compared to an underfunding of €9.1 billion at the end of fiscal 2013. Therein included is an underfunding for pension plans of €8.0 billion and €8.5 billion as of December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013, respectively. Siemens’ defined benefit obligation (DBO) decreased in the first three months of fiscal 2014 while the fair value of Siemens’ plan assets increased.

The DBO of Siemens’ defined benefit plans, which takes into account future compensation and pension increases, amounted to €32.8 billion on December 31, 2013, compared to €33.2 billion on September 30, 2013. The DBO decreased in the first quarter primarily due to an increase in the discount rate assumption and also due to benefits paid. These effects were partly offset by accrued service and interest costs.

Table of Contents

The fair value of Siemens’ plan assets as of December 31, 2013 was €24.2 billion compared to €24.1 billion on September 30, 2013. The actual return on plan assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 amounted to €421 million, resulting mainly from equity investments. Employer contributions amounted to €147 million in the first three months of fiscal 2014. These effects were partly offset by benefits paid.

For more information on Siemens’ post-employment benefits, see Note 6 in D.6 Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

C.4 NET ASSETS POSITION

 

 

LOGO

While our total assets were influenced by negative currency translation effects of €1.245 billion, both total current assets and total non-current assets as of December 31, 2013 remained nearly unchanged from the same level as of September 30, 2013, due mainly to an increase in other financial assets and inventories. Whereas other financial assets increased mainly due to higher loans receivable at SFS in connection with its growth strategy, inventories increased particularly in Energy.

Total current liabilities at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 decreased moderately by €1.347 billion compared to the end of fiscal 2013 due mainly to a decrease of €1.065 billion in trade payables, particularly in Energy, and a decrease of €983 million in other current liabilities, due mainly to a decrease in personnel-related liabilities. The overall decrease in total current liabilities was partly offset by an increase of €939 million in short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, which was due mainly to the issuance of commercial paper.

Total non-current liabilities decreased modestly by €664 million in the first quarter, due mainly to a decrease of €0.5 billion in the pension plan underfunding.

Total equity increased by €1.747 billion compared with September 30, 2013, due mainly to a net income of €1.457 billion in the current quarter.

C.5 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

After the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, Siemens closed the sale of its business for treating and processing municipal and industrial water and wastewater that were bundled in the Siemens Water Technologies Business Unit, as well as the related service activities, to funds managed by AEA Investors LP, U.S. for a preliminary consideration of €0.6 billion. This transaction is not expected to result in significant effects on income from discontinued operations in coming quarters, but will result in a net cash inflow in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.

C.6 OUTLOOK

We expect our markets to remain challenging in fiscal 2014. Our short-cycle businesses are not anticipating a recovery until late in the fiscal year. We expect orders to exceed revenue, for a book-to-bill ratio above 1. Assuming that revenue on an organic basis remains level year-over-year, we expect basic earnings per share (Net income) for fiscal 2014 to grow by at least 15% from €5.08 in fiscal 2013.

This outlook is based on shares outstanding of 843 million as of September 30, 2013. Furthermore, it excludes impacts related to legal and regulatory matters.

C.7 RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

In our Annual Report for fiscal 2013 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 first three months of fiscal 2014, we identified no further significant risks and opportunities besides those presented in our Annual Report for fiscal 2013 and in C.1 Overview for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, C.2.2 Segment information, and in legal proceedings in Note 9 in D.6 Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional risks and opportunities not known to us or that we currently consider immaterial could also affect our business operations. We do not expect to incur any risks that either individually or in combination could endanger our ability to continue as a going concern. We refer also to C.8 Notes and forward-looking statements.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Interim Consolidated Financial Statements) present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries (the Company or Siemens). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements also comply with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

Siemens prepares and reports its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in euros (€). Due to rounding, numbers presented may not add up precisely to totals provided. Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a business portfolio of activities predominantly in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements—The accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of December 31, 2013, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the explanatory Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are condensed and prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and shall be read in connection with Siemens’ Annual IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013. The interim financial statements apply the same accounting principles and practices as those used in the 2013 annual financial statements except as described at recently adopted accounting pronouncements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of future results. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Managing Board on January 31, 2014.

Financial statement presentation—Information disclosed in the Notes relates to Siemens unless stated otherwise.

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial 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 financial statements as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income taxes—In interim periods, income tax expenses are based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate of Siemens.

Reclassification—The presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

As of October 1, 2013, Siemens adopted IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and consequential amendments to IAS 27, Separate Financial Statements (amended 2011) and IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (amended 2011). IFRS 10 provides a comprehensive concept of control in determining whether an entity is to be consolidated, IFRS 11 provides guidance on accounting for joint arrangements by focusing on rights and obligations of the arrangement and IFRS 12 provides comprehensive disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities. The standards are applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of the new standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; disclosures according to IFRS 12 will be provided in the Notes to the annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of October 1, 2013, Siemens adopted IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The new standard defines fair value and standardizes disclosures on fair value measurements of both financial and non-financial instrument items. The standard is applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of IFRS 13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET ADOPTED

In November 2013, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (Hedge Accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39), which introduces new regulations regarding the application of hedge accounting and which provides corresponding additional disclosure requirements, to better reflect an entities’ risk management activities especially with regard to managing non-financial risks, and to provide enhanced information on these activities. The amendments permit to separately adopt the requirement of IFRS 9 to present the effects of own credit risk on liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income without adopting IFRS 9 in its entirety. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 of annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 was removed, however, early application is still permitted. The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group postponed its endorsement advice on IFRS 9. The Company is currently assessing the impacts of adopting IFRS 9 on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Significant developments regarding investigations and other legal proceedings that have occurred since the preparation of the Siemens’ Annual IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements are described below.

PUBLIC CORRUPTION PROCEEDINGS

Governmental and related proceedings

As previously reported, in August 2009 Siemens AG and the Republic of Argentina (Argentina) settled a dispute concerning allegations by Siemens that Argentina had unlawfully terminated a contract with Siemens for the development and operation of a system for the production of identity cards, border control, collection of data and voters’ registers (DNI project) and thereby violated the Bilateral Investment Protection Treaty between Argentina and Germany (BIT). Accordingly, any and all civil proceedings in connection with the case were discontinued. No payment was made by either party. As previously reported, the Argentinean Anti-Corruption Authority has initiated an investigation against individuals concerning alleged corruption of government officials in connection with the award of the contract for the DNI project to Siemens in calendar 1998. Searches were undertaken at the premises of Siemens Argentina and Siemens IT Services S.A. in Buenos Aires in August 2008 and in February 2009. The Company is cooperating with the Argentinean Authorities. The Argentinean investigative judge also repeatedly requested judicial assistance from the Munich public prosecutor and the federal court in New York. In December 2011, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. Department of Justice filed an indictment against nine individuals based on the same facts as the investigation of the Argentinean Anti-Corruption Authority. Most of these individuals are former Siemens employees. In December 2013, the Argentinean investigative judge filed indictments against 17 individuals, including eight former and one current Siemens employees. The former member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Dr. Uriel Sharef, is among the defendants in the U.S. and the Argentinean proceedings. Siemens AG is neither a party to the U.S. nor to the Argentinean proceedings.

In August 2013, a Brazilian Appellate Court upheld a decision to suspend Siemens Ltda. Brazil from participating in public bids and signing contracts with public administrations in Brazil for a five year term, based on alleged irregularities in calendar 1999 and 2004 public tenders. Siemens was seeking remedial action against the decision of the Appellate Court. On January 29, 2014, the same court confirmed its prior decision with immediate effect. Siemens will further appeal this decision.

Civil litigation

As previously reported, Siemens AG reached a settlement with nine out of eleven former members of the Managing and Supervisory Board in December 2009. The settlement relates to claims of breaches of organizational and supervisory duties in view of the accusations of illegal business practices that occurred in the course of international business transactions in calendar 2003 to 2006 and the resulting financial burdens for the Company. In January 2010, Siemens AG filed a lawsuit with the Munich District Court I against the two former board members who were not willing to settle, Dr. Thomas Ganswindt and Heinz-Joachim Neubürger. In January 2013, Siemens AG agreed on a settlement with Dr. Thomas Ganswindt. In December 2013 the Munich District Court ordered Mr. Neubürger to pay €15 million to Siemens AG. Siemens AG was ordered to transfer 16,588 shares of Siemens AG based on stock awards for fiscal 2004 and 2005 plus dividends to Mr. Neubürger, subject to Mr. Neubürger’s payment of €15 million to Siemens AG. Mr. Neubürger appealed against the judgment.

ANTITRUST PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, in April 2007, Siemens AG and former VA Tech companies filed actions before the European Court of First Instance in Luxemburg against the decisions of the European Commission dated January 24, 2007, to fine Siemens and former VA Tech companies for alleged antitrust violations in the European Market of high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear between calendar 1988 and 2004. Gas-insulated switchgear is electrical equipment used as a major component for power substations. The fine imposed on Siemens AG amounted to €396.6 million and was paid by the Company in calendar 2007. The fine imposed on former VA Tech companies, which Siemens AG acquired in July 2005, amounted to €22.1 million. In addition, former VA Tech companies were declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a separate fine of €4.5 million. In March 2011, the European Court of First Instance dismissed the case regarding the fine imposed on Siemens AG and re-calculated the fines for the former VA Tech companies. Former VA Tech companies were declared jointly liable with Schneider Electric for a fine of €8.1 million. Siemens AG and former VA Tech companies appealed the decision in May 2011. In December 2013, the European Court of Justice upheld the €396.6 million fine against Siemens AG. Corresponding charges against Siemens in New Zealand were dismissed by the High Court of New Zealand in October 2010, while investigations and proceedings in Brazil, the Czech Republic and Slovakia into comparable possible antitrust violations continue.

As previously reported, in September 2011, the Israeli Antitrust Authority requested Siemens to present its legal position regarding an alleged anti-competitive arrangement between April 1988 and April 2004 in the field of gas-insulated switchgear. In September 2013, the Israeli Antitrust Authority concluded that Siemens AG was a party to an illegal restrictive arrangement regarding the Israeli gas-insulated switchgear market between 1988 and 2004, with an interruption from October 1999 to February 2002. The Company is going to appeal this decision.

Based on the above mentioned conclusion of the Israeli Antitrust Authority, two electricity consumer groups filed each a motion to certify a class action for cartel damages against a number of companies including Siemens AG with an Israeli District Court in September 2013. Both class actions seek compensation for alleged damages, which are claimed to be in a range of €400 million to €600 million. In January 2014, Siemens agreed to a motion filed by another defendant to dismiss one of the motions to certify a class action, based on an almost full overlap between two motions to certify a class action. In addition, the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) filed at the end of December 2013 a separate claim for damages with the Israeli state court against Siemens AG and other companies that allegedly formed a cartel in the Israeli gas insulated switchgear market in the amount of approximately €800 million. Siemens AG is defending itself against the actions.

In connection with a decision of the European Commission rendered in January 2007 regarding antitrust violations in the high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear market, which has become binding and final, claims are being made against Siemens. Among others, a claim was filed by National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc. (National Grid) with the High Court of England and Wales in November 2008. 21 companies have been named as defendants, including Siemens AG and various of its subsidiaries. National Grid originally asserted claims in the aggregate amount of approximately £249 million for damages and compound interest. In November 2012, National Grid increased the aggregate amount to £364 million due to accrued compound interest. In June 2009, the Siemens defendants filed their answers to the complaint and requested National Grid’s claim to be rejected. A case management conference was held in November 2012. The court session dealing with the merits is expected to be held in 2014. Siemens is defending itself against the action.

As previously disclosed, in May 2013, Siemens Ltda. Brazil entered into a leniency agreement with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense and other relevant authorities relating to several Brazilian metro transport projects. The Company is cooperating with the authorities. It cannot be excluded that significant cartel damages claims will be brought by customers against Siemens based on the outcome of the investigations.

OTHER PROCEEDINGS

As previously reported, Siemens AG is a member of a supplier consortium that has been contracted to construct the nuclear power plant “Olkiluoto 3” in Finland for Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) on a turnkey basis. Siemens AG’s share of the consideration to be paid to the supplier consortium under the contract is approximately 27%. The other member of the supplier consortium is a further consortium consisting of Areva NP S.A.S. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Areva NP GmbH. The agreed completion date for the nuclear power plant was April 30, 2009. Completion of the power plant has been delayed for reasons which are in dispute. In December 2011, the supplier consortium informed TVO that the completion of the plant is expected in August 2014. In February 2013 TVO announced that it is preparing for the possibility that the start of the regular electricity production of the plant may be postponed until calendar year 2016. The supplier consortium and TVO

continue to assess the schedule and the risk of further slippage in detail. The final phases of the plant completion require the full cooperation of all parties involved. In December 2008, the supplier consortium filed a request for arbitration against TVO demanding an extension of the construction time, additional compensation, milestone payments, damages and interest. In June 2011, the supplier consortium increased its monetary claim to €1.94 billion. TVO rejected the claims and made counterclaims against the supplier consortium consisting primarily of damages due to the delay. In June 2012, the arbitral tribunal rendered a partial award ordering the release of withheld milestone payments to the supplier consortium of approximately €101 million plus interest. As of September 2012, TVO’s alleged counterclaims amounted to €1.59 billion based on a delay of up to 56 months. Based on a completion in August 2014, TVO estimates that its counterclaims amount to €1.77 billion. The further delay beyond 56 months (beyond December 2013) as well as the further slippage in the schedule currently under assessment by the supplier consortium and TVO could lead TVO to further increase its counterclaims. In October 2013 the supplier consortium increased its claim for an extension of construction time and its monetary claims to €2.71 billion. The arbitration proceedings may continue for several years.

As previously reported, Siemens is involved in the construction of a power plant in the United States. Siemens Energy, Inc., USA, and Kvaerner North American Construction, Inc., USA (Kvaerner) are consortium partners in this project, commissioned by Longview Power LLC, USA (Longview). Foster Wheeler North America Corp, USA (Foster Wheeler) supplied the boiler for the project. Kvaerner filed an arbitration request before the American Arbitration Association in June 2011, and in October and November 2012, the parties filed claims for monetary damages against one another. The amounts claimed by Longview and Foster Wheeler from the consortium partners total approximately US$243 million. Siemens filed claims for monetary damages of approximately US$110 million against Longview and Foster Wheeler. Kvaerner is claiming approximately US$252.8 million from Longview and Foster Wheeler. Longview filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code, which has resulted in delays to the arbitration proceeding dealing with the claim and counterclaim.

As previously disclosed, in October 2013 Essent Wind Nordsee Ost Planungs- und Betriebsgesellschaft mbH filed a request for arbitration against Siemens AG alleging violations of a contract for the delivery of a High Voltage Substation entered into by the parties in 2010. The claimant claims damages in an amount of €256 million plus interest and a determination that Siemens AG shall be liable for any further damages, which are claimed to amount to €152 million. Siemens AG filed a motion to dismiss the request for arbitration. In addition, Siemens filed counterclaims of €48 million plus interest and requested a determination concerning compensation for all future damages.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade payables with a remaining term of up to twelve months, other current financial liabilities and borrowings under revolving credit facilities represent a reasonable approximation of their fair value, mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The following table allocates financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value to the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Level 1:   quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:   inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3:   inputs for assets or liabilities not based on observable market data.

STOCK AWARDS

Commitments to members of the Managing Board:

The remuneration system for the Managing Board was revised by the Supervisory Board, effective from fiscal 2014, which is explained in detail in the Compensation Report within Siemens’ Annual Report as of September 30, 2013.

In fiscal 2014 and 2013, agreements were entered into which entitle members of the Managing Board to stock awards contingent upon attaining an EPS-based target. The fair value of these entitlements amounting to €5 million and €6 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013 was determined by calculating the present value of the target amount.

In fiscal 2014 and 2013, agreements were entered into which entitle members of the Managing Board to stock awards contingent upon attaining a prospective performance-based target of Siemens stock relative to five competitors (for fiscal 2014 Philips was replaced by Alstom). The fair value of these entitlements amounts to €4 million and €7 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013.

In fiscal 2014 and 2013, agreements were entered into which entitle members of the Managing Board to Bonus Awards. The fair value of these entitlements amounting to €2 million and €5 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013, was determined by calculating the present value of the target amount.

Commitments to members of the senior management and other eligible employees:

In the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 769,049 and 1,308,171 stock awards, respectively, were granted to members of the senior management and other eligible employees contingent upon attaining an EPS-based target. The fair value of these stock awards amounts to €62 million and €85 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013 and corresponds to the target amount representing the EPS target attainment.

In the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, 652,162 and 849,908 stock awards, respectively, were granted to members of the senior management and other eligible employees contingent upon attaining a prospective performance-based target of Siemens stock relative to five competitors.

Entitlements to Matching Shares

In the three months ended December 31, 2013, 18,363 entitlements to matching shares forfeited and 8,836 entitlements to matching shares were settled, of the 1,733,497 beginning balance, which resulted in 1,706,298 entitlements to matching shares as of December 31, 2013. In the three months ended December 31, 2012, 14,203 entitlements to matching shares forfeited and 12,052 entitlements to matching shares were settled, of the 1,545,582 beginning balance, which resulted in 1,519,327 entitlements to matching shares as of December 31, 2012. The number of entitlements to matching shares that have been granted in the first quarter depends on the number of investment shares to be transferred in the second quarter and will be determined at that time.

E. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

E.1. REVIEW REPORT

To Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich

We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprising the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows and changes in equity, and notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and the interim group management report, of Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Berlin and Munich for the period from October 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 which are part of the quarterly financial report pursuant to Sec. 37x (3) WpHG (“Wertpapierhandelsgesetz”: German Securities Trading Act). The preparation of the condensed interim 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim group management report based on our review.

We conducted our review of the condensed interim 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 condensed interim 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 condensed interim 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.
