C. INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT
C.1 OVERVIEW FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2014
(THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014)
| Second-quarter revenue was 2% lower year-over-year. On an organic basis, excluding currency translation and portfolio effects, revenue rose 1%. |
| Orders declined 13% compared to the prior-year period which included a substantially higher volume from large orders. On an organic basis, orders were 10% lower year-over-year. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.06 for the quarter, and Siemens order backlog reached a new high at 103 billion. |
| Total Sectors profit rose 16%, to 1.566 billion, highlighted by a strong profit increase in Infrastructure & Cities, and income from continuing operations climbed 19%. |
| Net income for the second quarter rose 12% year-over-year, to 1.153 billion, and basic earnings per share (EPS) increased to 1.33. |
| Free cash flow from continuing operations was 1.390 billion, up slightly from 1.360 billion in the second quarter a year earlier. |
Managements perspective on second-quarter results. We believe that the second quarter of fiscal 2014 showed that we still have a lot to do to improve our operating performance. Nevertheless we are on course to reach our targets for the fiscal year.
Record backlog, currency translation headwinds continue. Second-quarter revenue came in 2% lower year-over-year, and orders declined 13% compared to the prior-year period due mainly to a lower volume from large orders. The euro remained strong against nearly all other major currencies compared to a year earlier, which took four percentage points from order development and revenue growth. On a comparable basis, excluding currency and portfolio effects, revenue rose 1% year-over-year and orders declined 10%. The book-to-bill ratio for Siemens overall was 1.06. The order backlog (defined as the sum of the order backlogs of the Sectors) increased to a new high of 103 billion.
Lower volume from large orders in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. Orders declined compared to the second quarter a year ago, when Energy won two large offshore wind-farm orders and Infrastructure & Cities took in two major rolling stock orders, all in the region comprising Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.), Africa and the Middle East. Industry delivered solid order growth year-over-year, and Healthcare orders rose slightly on a comparable basis. While orders fell in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East for Energy and Infrastructure & Cities as mentioned above, these two Sectors led double-digit order growth in Asia, Australia. Orders rose moderately in the Americas despite strong negative currency translation effects. Orders in emerging markets (according to the International Monetary Funds definition of Ermerging Market and Developing Economies) declined 10% to 6.129 billion, representing 33% of total orders for the quarter.
3
Stable organic revenue supported by emerging markets. Infrastructure & Cities and Industry posted revenue growth for the second quarter, and Healthcare revenue rose on a comparable basis. Revenue in Energy in the current period fell due to a combination of soft demand and selective order intake in prior periods. On a geographic basis, revenue rose 3% in Asia, Australia on double-digit growth in China that included all Sectors. Revenue rose in the Americas on a comparable basis. Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East posted a decline compared to the prior-year period, as a double-digit drop in Energy more than offset double-digit growth in Infrastructure & Cities. Revenue from emerging markets was nearly unchanged year-over-year, accounting for 5.912 billion, or 34%, of total revenue for the quarter. Organic revenue growth in emerging markets was 7%.
Strong increase in Total Sectors profit. Total Sectors profit for the second quarter rose 16% year-over-year, to 1.566 billion, despite burdens on profit from currency effects, which are expected to continue based on the strength of the euro compared to fiscal 2013. Healthcare made the largest contribution to Total Sectors profit, 531 million, including a positive 66 million effect related to the expected sale of a particle therapy installation. Industry took its second-quarter profit up by nearly one-third year-over-year, to 456 million, despite 75 million in charges at a project in the metals technology business. The strongest increase in profit year-over-year came in Infrastructure & Cities, which delivered a solid operating performance. Profit for the Sector climbed to 325 million, up from 6 million a year earlier when the Sector took 161 million in charges related to high-speed rail projects. Profit in Energy fell to 255 million in the second quarter, due mainly to 310 million in
4
project charges primarily including two power transmission projects in Canada. This was partly offset by a 73 million gain from the sale of a business. For comparison, profit in Energy in the prior-year period was burdened by 84 million in charges related mainly to grid connections to offshore wind-farms in Germany. In the current period, Total Sectors profit was supported by productivity improvements resulting from the Siemens 2014 program. In the second quarter a year earlier, Total Sectors profit was burdened by 106 million in Siemens 2014 charges.
Higher net income driven by Total Sectors profit. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter rose 19% year-over-year, to 1.163 billion. The increase was due predominantly to higher Total Sectors profit. In addition, income from continuing operations in the current period was supported by a positive contribution from outside the Sectors. Second-quarter net income increased to 1.153 billion, up from 1.030 billion in the same period a year earlier. Corresponding basic EPS rose to 1.33 compared to 1.20 in the prior-year period. Within these numbers, discontinued operations posted a loss of 10 million compared to income of 49 million in the prior-year period, which included 57 million in income from discontinued operations related to OSRAM.
Second-quarter Free cash flow higher year-over-year. Free cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter increased modestly to 1.390 billion compared to 1.360 billion a year earlier, even though the current period included cash outflows of 0.2 billion corresponding to charges to income taken for the Siemens 2014 program. The current quarter included cash inflows totaling 0.5 billion from a decrease in operating net working capital, compared to inflows of 0.4 billion in the prior-year period. In the current period the decrease in operating net working capital was due mainly to Energy, which received significant advance payments.
5
Higher income lifts ROCE. On a continuing basis, ROCE (adjusted) for the second quarter increased to 14.7%, up from 12.7% in the same period a year earlier. This increase was due to higher income from continuing operations.
Pension plan underfunding increases. The underfunding of Siemens pension plans as of March 31, 2014 amounted to 8.9 billion, compared to an underfunding of 8.0 billion as of December 31, 2013. A substantial decrease in the discount rate assumption and accrued service and interest costs were only partly offset by a positive actual return on plan assets and employer contributions.
Sale of Water Technologies closed. In January 2014, Siemens closed the sale of its business for treating and processing municipal and industrial water and wastewater that was bundled in the Water Technologies Business Unit and is reported as discontinued operations, to funds managed by AEA Investors LP, U.S. for a preliminary consideration of 612 million.
C.2.1 SIEMENS GROUP
C.2.1.1 Orders and revenue
While macroeconomic conditions in the first half of fiscal 2014 were generally more favorable compared to a year earlier, currency translation effects held back reported revenue and orders. In addition, ongoing challenges in energy markets held back order development. Moreover, orders in the prior-year period included a higher volume from large orders. As a result, both orders and revenue came in 3% lower year-over-year. The euro remained strong against nearly all major currencies compared to a year earlier, which took four percentage points from both order and revenue development.
The book-to-bill ratio for Siemens overall was 1.13. The order backlog (defined as the sum of the order backlogs of the Sectors) climbed to 103 billion.

Orders related to external customers decreased 3% compared to the prior-year period, as a double-digit drop in Energy more than offset double-digit growth in Infrastructure & Cities. In a stabilizing market environment, Industry reported moderate order growth year-over-year. Primarily due to negative currency translation effects, orders in Healthcare came in below their prior-year level.
In the region comprising Europe, C.I.S., Africa, and the Middle East, six-month orders came in 2.1 billion below the prior-year level. The decline is mainly due to a high basis of comparison in the prior-year period that included a higher volume of large orders. In addition, order development in the region reflected a decrease in demand for large gas turbines, leading to a much lower order intake compared to the prior-year period. Double-digit order growth in China was due mainly to a sharp increase in Infrastructure & Cities, while Industrys orders rose substantially, in part due to restocking by customers. Both Sectors contributed strongly to the 7% increase in orders in Asia, Australia. Orders rose in the Americas largely due to a robust recovery in the U.S. wind business compared to a year earlier, when uncertainty about continuation of production tax incentives led to a sharp drop in order intake. Emerging markets grew faster than orders overall, at 6%, and increased to 14.615 billion, representing 37% of total orders for the period. Organic orders in emerging markets rose 12% year-over-year.

Revenue related to external customers declined 3% compared to the same period a year earlier. Infrastructure & Cities posted clear revenue growth year-over-year, due to the execution of large rolling-stock projects and its acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review. The other Sectors reported declines compared to the first six-month a year earlier, including negative currency translation effects as mentioned above. On a comparable basis, six-month revenue came in higher year-over-year for Healthcare and Industry.
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, including the negative currency translation effects mentioned above. A double-digit revenue increase in China, including contributions from all Sectors, supported a slight increase in six-month revenue in Asia, Australia compared to the prior-year period. Emerging markets reported a 2% decline year-over-year and accounted for 11.603 billion, or 33%, of total revenue for the period. Organic six-month revenue growth in emerging markets was 4% year-over-year.

Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the first six months of fiscal 2014 increased to 3.577 billion from 3.033 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2013.
Gross profit was slightly higher than in the first six months of fiscal 2013. As explained in C.2.1.1 Orders and revenue, revenue declined year-over-year due mainly to the appreciation of the euro against nearly all other major currencies between the periods under review, with an adverse effect on gross profit. The resulting decrease in gross profit was partially offset by substantially lower project charges compared to the prior-year period which are explained in more detail in C.2.2 Segment information. In addition, the first six months of fiscal 2013 included charges for the Siemens 2014 program in all Sectors totaling 154 million, which were recorded mainly in cost of sales and accordingly influenced gross profit.
Selling and general administrative expenses were lower year-over-year on declines in all Sectors. The prior-year amount included a portion of the charges for the Siemens 2014 program mentioned above.
Other operating income more than doubled year-over-year, due in part to substantially higher gains from disposals of real estate at Siemens Real Estate (SRE) and a gain from the disposal of Power Generations turbo fan business. Other operating expenses were higher year-over-year due mainly to higher expenses related to legal and regulatory matters.
Income from investments accounted for using the equity method, net more than doubled compared to the prior-year period. This improvement was due mainly to two factors. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we report results related to our stake in Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH (BSH) in phase with results of the Siemens Group, rather than with the lag of one quarter. Due to the one-time catch-up effect associated with this change, profit for the first six months of fiscal 2014 therefore includes results related to BSH for three quarters rather than the usual two. In addition, the prior-year amount included impairments in the solar business in the Energy Sector.
Other financial income (expenses), net was lower year-over-year, including higher expenses resulting from changes in the fair value of warrants issued together with US$3 billion bonds in fiscal 2012.
8
Including the developments described above, Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased 18% year-over-year. With a lower effective tax rate compared to the first six months of fiscal 2013, Income from continuing operations increased 20% year-over-year.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the first six months of fiscal 2014 was 61 million compared to 113 million in the same period a year earlier. While Income from discontinued operations in the current period benefited from a positive 66 million tax effect related to former Communications activities, the prior-year period included Income from discontinued operations of 136 million related to OSRAM, which was spun off in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
As a result of the changes in both Income from continuing operations and Income from discontinued operations, Net income and Net income attributable to shareholders were 16% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
Corresponding basic EPS rose 16% to 3.03 compared to 2.61 in the prior-year period, reflecting higher Net income attributable to shareholders of Siemens AG.

In fiscal 2013, the markets served by Energy recovered from the depressed levels of fiscal 2012 but the weak economic environment and significant manufacturing overcapacities in the power plant industry remained. The improvement trend has continued in the first half of fiscal 2014, led mainly by wind power markets, followed by power transmission markets. Nevertheless, price pressure remains fierce.
The long-term market for gas-fired power plants will be supported by the increasing use of natural gas in the U.S. and strong demand from China. In the short term, the market for large gas turbines remains difficult, and we expect demand to decline from the level of fiscal 2013. There is a trend towards larger and more efficient units for base-load power generation, such as in the U.S., China and South-East Asia. At the same time, we see higher demand for smaller gas turbines used for distributed power generation. We expect demand in Europe to remain weak.
We expect wind power markets in fiscal 2014 to return to the record levels of fiscal 2011. This applies to the onshore and offshore markets, even though both will continue to get more competitive. We expect markets for high-voltage products and transformers to remain stable in fiscal 2014, while transmission solutions show moderate growth particularly from grid access projects in North-West Europe.
Energy profit of 761 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 was down substantially year-over-year, due in part to a revenue decline and a less favorable business mix compared to the prior-year period. For comparison, six-month profit a year ago was burdened by a loss of 178 million for Siemens solar activities and 46 million in charges for the Siemens 2014 program. In addition, both the current and prior reporting periods included impacts mentioned below for the Sectors Divisions. The Power Generation Division increased its six-month profit year-over-year, benefiting from a gain on the sale of the Divisions turbo fan business and a positive effect from a successful project completion. For comparison, the Divisions profit development in the prior-year period was held back by charges related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. Profit at Wind Power fell sharply, due in part to charges related to onshore wind turbines. Power Transmission posted a higher loss due mainly to continuing project execution challenges. In the current period, the Division took charges totaling
9
297 million related to two HVDC transmission line projects in Canada. Both periods included charges related mainly to grid connections to offshore wind-farms in Germany, amounting to 90 million in the current six months and 111 million in the same period a year earlier.
In the first six months of fiscal 2014, revenue for the Sector came in 9% lower than a year ago, reflecting weak order entry development at Power Generation and selective order intake at Power Transmission in prior periods. On a regional basis, revenue declined in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and the Americas region. Power Generation and Power Transmission posted revenue declines compared to the prior-year period, while Wind Power increased its revenue significantly. Orders came in 16% below the prior-year period, when a substantially higher volume from large orders included several offshore wind-farm contracts in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. The resulting order decline in that region more than offset order growth in the Americas and Asia, Australia. Order development year-over-year reflected Energys challenging market environment, particularly a decrease in demand for large gas turbines. Negative currency translation effects took four percentage points from both revenue and order development during the period. The book-to-bill ratio for Energy was 1.17, and its order backlog was 55 billion at the end of the period.

Profit at Power Generation for the first six months of fiscal 2014 increased moderately year-over-year to 1.128 billion. The current period benefited from a 73 million gain on the sale of the Divisions turbo fan business and a 72 million effect from a successful project completion in the turnkey business. For comparison, profit development in the prior-year period was held back by 46 million in charges related to compliance with sanctions on Iran. Six-month revenue for the Division decreased 14% year-over-year on declines in all three reporting regions, due to a number of factors including a global shift in the markets for gas turbines to low-price countries with fewer turnkey opportunities. Order intake was significantly below the level of the prior-year period on a decline in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East where Power Generation had taken in a higher volume from large orders in the first six months of fiscal 2013, particularly including a combined-cycle power plant in Germany. Six-month orders were also lower in the Americas.
Profit at Wind Power for the first six months of fiscal 2014 fell to 13 million. An unfavorable business mix included an unusually low contribution from the higher-margin offshore business in the second quarter. This was due to lower capacity utilization combined with production costs that were higher than average during the quarter. In addition, the Division recorded charges of 48 million for inspecting and replacing defective main bearings in onshore wind turbines. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period benefited from positive effects
10
related to project completions and the settlement of a claim related to an offshore wind-farm project. Revenue was up 13% on increases in the Americas and Asia, Australia reporting regions. Order intake was down significantly in the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior-year period, when the Division took in a higher volume from large orders, particularly including several major offshore contracts in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. In contrast, order intake in the Americas region more than doubled, including a recovery in the U.S., the Divisions largest national market for onshore wind power, from a low basis of comparison in the prior year that resulted from uncertainty about continuation of production tax incentives.
Power Transmission reported a loss of 381 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, significantly higher than in the same period a year earlier, due mainly to continuing project execution challenges. In the current period, the Division took charges totaling 297 million related to the two HVDC transmission line projects in Canada mentioned above, resulting from revised estimates for civil engineering and infrastructure provided by suppliers as well as penalties for associated project delays, among other factors. In addition, the Division took charges of 90 million related mainly to grid connections to offshore wind-farms in Germany. In the same period a year earlier, the Divisions loss included grid-connection project charges of 111 million. Finally, profit development in the current period was also held back by a high proportion of projects with low or negligible profit margins. Revenue was down 14% on decreases in all reporting regions, due mainly to selective order intake in prior periods primarily in the solutions business. Order intake was down 6% year-over-year, as declines in the Americas and Asia, Australia regions more than offset growth in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. The Division expects continuing challenges in coming quarters.

On balance, markets for Healthcare are expected to grow slightly in the second half of fiscal 2014. Emerging markets will continue to be a growth driver, as they seek to build up healthcare infrastructure and provide ubiquitous access to modern medical technology. In contrast, countries in the developed world seek to limit the growth of spending associated with providing high levels of care, for example through outcome-based incentives.
For the first six months of fiscal 2014, profit in the Healthcare Sector rose to 1.002 billion. Profit development in the first half of fiscal 2014 benefited from a 66 million positive effect related to the expected sale of a particle therapy installation, but was held back by unfavorable currency translation effects based on the strength of the euro compared to fiscal 2013. Reported profit in the same period a year earlier was held back by 22 million in charges for the Sectors Agenda 2013 initiative.
Diagnostics contributed 202 million to Sector profit, up moderately from 195 million in the prior-year period which included 12 million in Agenda 2013 charges. Purchase price allocation (PPA) effects related to past acquisitions at Diagnostics were 82 million in the first six months. A year earlier, Diagnostics recorded 85 million in PPA effects.
Currency translation effects reduced reported revenue and orders for Healthcare moderately compared to the prior-year period, with most businesses posting declines. Geographically, the reported decline in revenue and orders came from Asia, Australia and the Americas. On a comparable basis, revenue rose 3% and orders were up 2% compared to the prior-year period. The book-to-bill ratio was 1.01, and Healthcares order backlog was 7 billion at the end of the first six months.
The Diagnostics business reported revenue of 1.847 billion in the first half of fiscal 2014, a 4% decrease from 1.924 billion a year earlier including a clear decline in the Americas due primarily to headwinds from currency translation mentioned above. On a comparable basis, Diagnostics revenue was up 2% compared to the prior-year period.

Overall, the Industry Sectors markets showed further signs of stabilization in the first half of fiscal 2014. The growth so far was supported by long-cycle businesses and restocking by customers in China. Global growth dynamics have improved in the infrastructure and automotive industries. We expect more broad-based demand in our short-cycle businesses in the second half of fiscal 2014, supporting moderate comparable growth if customers continue to increase their capacity utilization and machinery production. On a geographic basis, we expect the strongest comparable growth for Industry to come from advanced economies, particularly including Germany and the U.S., and from China.
Due in part to the improving market conditions for the Sectors short-cycle businesses, mainly during the second quarter, Industry reported a profit of 938 million in the first half of fiscal 2014, up from 851 million in the prior-year period. Profit development in the current six months was held back by a loss at the metals technologies business which took 77 million in charges related to a project in the U.S. For comparison, profit in the prior-year period included 54 million in charges related to the Siemens 2014 productivity improvement program. Six-month revenue came in 1% below the prior-year level, including unfavorable currency translation effects. Order growth of 8% year-over-year was supported mainly by a higher volume from major orders in the Sectors long-cycle businesses compared to the prior-year period. On a comparable basis, six-month revenue increased 2% year-over-year and orders rose 11%.
On a geographic basis, revenue rose in Asia, Australia, including double-digit growth in China, due in part to restocking by customers, and in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. These increases were more than offset by a decline in the Americas compared to the prior-year period, including negative currency translation effects. Order growth for the Sector came from Asia, Australia, driven by China, and from Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. The Sectors book-to-bill ratio was 1.07 and its order backlog was 10 billion at the end of the period.

Six-month profit for Industry Automation rose to 655 million on higher profit in all businesses and a more favorable business mix. The Division recorded PPA effects of 22 million related to LMS International NV (LMS), acquired in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. For comparison, PPA effects related to LMS were 11 million while deferred revenue adjustments and inventory step-ups totaled 14 million in the prior-year period. PPA effects related to the acquisition of UGS Corp. in fiscal 2007 were 70 million in the current period compared to 75 million a year earlier. Revenue for Industry Automation came in 2% higher year-over-year, mainly on a double-digit increase in Asia, Australia, including restocking in China, as mentioned above. Six-month orders rose 7% compared to the prior-year period, on double-digit growth in Asia, Australia and a moderate increase in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East.
Profit at Drive Technologies came in at 343 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, including contributions from most of its businesses. While profit was lower in the same period a year earlier, it was burdened by the majority of the Sectors charges for the Siemens 2014 program mentioned above. Due to unfavorable currency translation effects, revenue declined slightly year-over-year, primarily including a decline in the Americas and Asia, Australia. Orders for the Division increased 7%, driven mainly by a higher volume of large orders compared to the prior-year period. On an organic basis, six-month revenue was up 3% and orders grew 10% year-over-year.

We expect growth for the markets served by the Transportation & Logistics Business to remain strong in Europe, C.I.S, Africa, Middle East and in Asia, Australia. The first of these two regions remains the worlds largest geographic market for the Business, with continued investment in large rail orders. We expect the markets served by our Power Grid Solutions & Products Business to show a modest volume decline in fiscal 2014, including weaker demand in some emerging market countries and utility customers choosing to delay or reduce the scale of their investments. We expect a continuing recovery in non-residential construction markets, with our Building Technologies Division beginning to benefit from this development toward the end of fiscal 2014.
In the first half of fiscal 2014, profit for Infrastructure & Cities rose to 654 million with all Businesses contributing to the improvement. The primary factor in the increase was improved project execution and higher revenue at Transportation & Logistics, which delivered a profit in the current period compared to a loss in the first six months a year earlier, when it recorded project charges of 277 million related mainly to high-speed trains. 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
13
Technologies Division. Sector profit also benefited from a 39 million net effect due to the release of accruals related to Siemens 2014, primarily at Transportation & Logistics. In contrast, the prior-year period was burdened by 32 million in charges for the program.
Orders for the first six months rose 15% compared to the prior-year period. While the Sector won a number of major orders in both periods, the volume from such orders was substantially higher in the current period due mainly to a contract worth 1.6 billion for two driverless subway lines in Saudi Arabia. This order will be delivered by the Transportation & Logistics and the Power Grid Solutions & Products Businesses. Revenue for the Sector was up 7% year-over-year driven by a double-digit increase in Transportation & Logistics, including execution of large rolling-stock projects and the acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review. Revenue declines at the Sectors two other Businesses included negative currency translation effects, which were particularly strong at Power Grid Solutions & Products. On a geographic basis, Infrastructure & Cities achieved double-digit increases in orders in all three reporting regions. Significantly higher revenue year-over-year in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and Asia, Australia was partly offset by a decrease in the Americas. The Sectors book-to-bill ratio was 1.25 and its order backlog at the end of the first half of fiscal 2014 was 30 billion.

Transportation & Logistics posted a profit of 210 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, following a loss in the same amount a year earlier, when the Business took 277 million in project charges related mainly to high-speed trains as mentioned above. The Business recorded PPA effects of 26 million related to its acquisition of Invensys Rail which closed in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. First-half orders for Transportation & Logistics rose 38% year-over-year due mainly to a higher volume from major orders including a large share of the Saudi Arabia order mentioned above. Revenue grew by 29% year-over-year, as the Business is executing a number of large rolling-stock orders. Orders and revenue grew in all regions year-over-year and benefited from the acquisition of Invensys Rail between the periods under review.
First-half profit at Power Grid Solutions & Products rose to 238 million from 198 million a year earlier. The improvement was due mainly to a more favorable business mix year-over-year. Revenue was down 4% year-over-year as a decline in the Americas more than offset higher revenue in Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East and Asia, Australia. Order growth of 5% included a share in the Saudi Arabia order mentioned above. As a result, orders were up in the region Europe, C.I.S., Africa, Middle East. Revenue and order development was strongly affected by negative currency translation effects. On a comparable basis, revenue was up 2% and orders rose 10% year-over-year.
14
Profit at Building Technologies rose to 206 million, up from 152 million a year earlier. The major factors in the increase were productivity improvements from successful implementation of the Siemens 2014 program and a more favorable business mix year-over-year. The Divisions reported declines in revenue and orders, of 4% and 5% year-over-year, respectively, were due to the Americas region and included negative currency translation effects.
C.2.2.5 Equity Investments
In the first half of fiscal 2014, profit at Equity Investments rose to 203 million, up from 151 million a year earlier, when profit was burdened by a loss of 11 million related to Siemens stake in Nokia Siemens Networks B.V. This stake was sold between the periods under review. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we report results related to our stake in BSH in phase with results of Siemens, rather than with the lag of one quarter. Due to the one-time catch-up effect associated with this change, profit for the first six months of fiscal 2014 therefore includes results related to BSH for three quarters rather than the usual two.

SFS continued to execute its growth strategy, with increases in total assets leading to higher interest income and associated expenses. In contrast, results related to investments accounted for using the equity method came in below the level of the prior-year period. Despite substantial early terminations of financings and negative currency translation effects, total assets rose to 19.385 billion at the end of the first half of fiscal 2014, compared to 18.661 billion at the end of fiscal 2013.

Reconciliation to Consolidated Financial Statements includes Centrally managed portfolio activities, Siemens Real Estate and various categories of items which are not allocated to the Sectors and to SFS because Management has determined that such items are not indicative of the operating performance of the Sectors and SFS.
Centrally managed portfolio activities
Centrally managed portfolio activities reported a profit of 45 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to a profit of 23 million in the same period a year earlier.
Siemens Real Estate (SRE)
Income before income taxes at SRE was 150 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to 43 million in the same period a year earlier. As in the past, income from SRE continues to be highly dependent on disposals of real estate.
Corporate items and pensions
Corporate items and pensions reported a loss of 435 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to a loss of 318 million in the same period a year earlier. Within these figures, the loss at Corporate items was 239 million, compared to a loss of 113 million in the prior-year period. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2014 included expenses resulting from changes in the fair value of warrants issued together with US$3 billion in bonds in fiscal 2012, and negative effects related to legal and regulatory matters. Centrally carried pension expense totaled 196 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to 205 million in the same period a year earlier.

Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items
Income before income taxes from Eliminations, Corporate Treasury and other reconciling items was a positive 35 million in the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to a negative 5 million in the same period a year earlier. The primary factor in the improvement was higher income from Corporate Treasury activities due mainly to changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting.

(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 1,134 million as of March 31, 2014 and 1,247 million as of September 30, 2013. |
(2) | The adjustment considers that both Moodys 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 SFSs 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 six months of fiscal 2014 and 2013 for both continuing and discontinued operations.

Cash flows from operating activitiesContinuing operations provided cash of 1.476 billion in the first half of fiscal 2014, an improved cash inflow compared to 669 million in the same period a year earlier. In both periods, the major component of cash inflows related to income from continuing operations, which was 2.550 billion in the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to 2.130 billion in the prior-year period. A build-up of operating net working capital led to cash outflows of 0.9 billion in the current period compared to outflows of 2.2 billion in the same period a year earlier. In the current period we recorded positive changes in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related advances, particularly in Energy, as well as in trade and other receivables. These positive changes were more than offset by a significant build-up in inventories and payments of trade payables in all Sectors. The current period included cash outflows of approximately 0.3 billion corresponding to charges to income taken for the Siemens 2014 program, compared to 0.1 billion in such outflows in the prior-year period.
Discontinued operations used cash of 24 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to cash provided of 88 million in the prior-year period, which included larger cash inflows at OSRAM.
Cash flows from investing activitiesCash used in investing activities for continuing operations amounted to 1.865 billion in the first half of fiscal 2014, compared to cash used of 1.849 billion in the prior-year period. In the current period cash outflows from investing activities were due mainly to two factors. Firstly, we recorded outflows totaling 1.139 billion for an increase in new business volume at SFS, despite substantial early terminations of financings. Secondly, we had additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of 745 million, which related mainly to investments within the Sectors. For comparison, the prior-year period included cash outflows from the financing business at SFS of 559 million and additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of 724 million. In the prior-year period we recorded also cash outflows of 670 million related to Industrys acquisitions of LMS International NV and cash inflows of 0.3 billion related to the sale of Atos S.A. convertible bonds.
Discontinued operations provided cash of 446 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014, compared to cash used of 115 million in the prior-year period. The current period included proceeds (excluding cash sold) of 0.5 billion related to the sale of the Water Technologies Business Unit.
Free cash flow from continuing and discontinued operations amounted to a positive 703 million in the first half of fiscal 2014, compared to a negative 61 million a year earlier. The improvement year-over-year resulted primarily from higher cash inflows from operating activities for continuing operations as discussed above.
On a sequential basis, Free cash flow during the first and second quarter of fiscal 2014 and during fiscal 2013 was as follows:
Cash flows from financing activitiesFinancing activities for continuing operations used cash of 582 million in the first half of fiscal 2014, compared to cash used of 1.798 billion in the same period a year earlier. In the current period the major components of cash flows were dividends paid (for fiscal 2013) to shareholders of Siemens AG of 2.533 billion partly offset by cash inflows from the change in short-term debt and other financing activities of 2.101 billion. For comparison, in the prior-year period we paid dividends (for fiscal 2012) to shareholders of Siemens AG of 2.528 billion and received cash inflows of 947 million from the change in short-term debt and other financing activities. In both periods, the changes in short-term debt and other financing activities primarily related to the issuance of commercial paper. As additional major components in the prior-year period, we recorded proceeds of 3.467 billion from the issuance of long-term debt and cash outflows of 2.032 billion for the repayment of long-term debt and 1.320 billion for the purchase of treasury shares.
19
C.3.3 CAPITAL RESOURCES AND REQUIREMENTS
We have a US$9.0 billion (6.5 billion) global multi-currency commercial paper program in place. As of March 31, 2014 the nominal amount outstanding in commercial paper was US$2.5 billion (1.8 billion).
In March 2014, we issued US$300 million (0.2 billion) privately placed floating-rate instruments due in March, 2019.
In March 2014, our two bilateral US$500 million (totaling 0.7 billion) floating-rate term loans (three months LIBOR + 0.79% p.a.) with an original term of five years were extended by one year until March, 2019 with a remaining one-year extension option.
In April 2014, our 4.0 billion undrawn syndicated multi-currency revolving credit facility, signed in April 2012 with an original term of five years, was extended by one year until April 2019. There are no remaining extension options.
C.3.4 POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
At the end of the first six months of fiscal 2014, the funded status of Siemens defined benefit plans showed an underfunding of 9.4 billion, compared to an underfunding of 9.1 billion at the end of fiscal 2013. Within these figures, underfunding for pension plans amounted to 8.9 billion and 8.5 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The increase in Siemens defined benefit obligation (DBO) was largely offset by an increase in the fair value of plan assets.
The DBO of Siemens defined benefit plans, which takes into account future compensation and pension increases, amounted to 34.3 billion on March 31, 2014, compared to 33.2 billion on September 30, 2013. The DBO increased in the first six months of fiscal 2014 due primarily to a substantial decrease in the discount rate assumption and also due to accrued service and interest cost. These factors were partly offset by benefits paid.
The fair value of Siemens plan assets as of March 31, 2014 was 24.9 billion compared to 24.1 billion on September 30, 2013. The actual return on plan assets for the first six months of fiscal 2014 amounted to 1.2 billion, resulting mainly from fixed-income investments. Employer contributions amounted to 274 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. These factors 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.
20
Total current assets decreased by 1.678 billion as of March 31, 2014, compared to September 30, 2013. The largest factors in the decrease within the first half of fiscal 2014 were lower assets classified as held for disposal, primarily due to the sale of the Water Technologies Business Unit, and negative currency translation effects. Total non-current assets increased by 787 million within the first half of fiscal 2014 mainly due to higher other financial assets, particularly higher loans receivable at SFS in connection with its growth strategy, partly offset by negative currency translation effects.
Total current liabilities decreased by 875 million as of March 31, 2014, compared to September 30, 2013. The main factors in the decrease within the first half of fiscal 2014, which include negative currency translation effects, were the following: Firstly, a decrease of 1.215 billion in the line item Other current liabilities due mainly to a decrease in personnel-related liabilities, particularly liabilities related to bonus payments to our employees; secondly, a decrease of 812 million in the line item Trade payables, particularly in our Sectors. The decreases within the first half of fiscal 2014 in these line items were partly offset by an increase of 1.813 billion in the line item Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, which resulted mainly from the issuance of commercial paper. Total non-current liabilities and total equity as of March 31, 2014 remained nearly unchanged from their levels as of September 30, 2013. Within total equity an increase due to the net income of 2.610 billion was offset by a decrease due to dividend payments totaling 2.609 billion.
At the beginning of May 2014, Siemens announced the acquisition of the Rolls-Royce Energy aero-derivative gas turbine and compressor business of Rolls-Royce plc, U.K. (Rolls-Royce). With the acquisition, Siemens intends to strengthen its position in the growing oil and gas industry as well as in the field of decentralized power generation. The purchase price amounts to £785 million (950 million). In addition, as part of the transaction, Siemens will pay Rolls-Royce £200 million (240 million) for a 25 year technology licensing agreement granting exclusive access to future Rolls-Royce aero-turbine technology developments in the four to 85 megawatt power output range as well as preferred access to supply and engineering services of Rolls-Royce. The transaction is subject to approval by regulatory authorities. Closing is expected in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
At the beginning of May 2014, Siemens announced that it will contribute its Industry Sectors metallurgical solution business (Metals Technologies Business Unit) including the related electrics and automation business (other than electrical service), into a new global full-line metallurgical solutions business joint venture with Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals Machinery, Inc. in which Siemens will hold 49%. Mitsubishi-Hitachi Metals Machinery, Inc. is majority owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. The transaction is subject to approval by regulatory authorities. Closing is expected in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Siemens classifies the Business Unit as held for disposal and discontinued operations since the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
In the future, Siemens will position itself along the electrification, automation and digitalization. Along these value chains Siemens has identified several growth fields in which it sees its greatest long-term potential. The company is orienting its resource allocation toward these growth fields and has announced concrete measures in this direction. The measures include the purchase of the major part of Rolls-Royces energy business and the contribution of Siemens Metals Technologies into a joint venture. For more information on these two transactions, see C.5 Subsequent Events. A public listing of the audiology business will also be prepared. In addition, Siemens is making its organization flatter and more customer-oriented.
As of October 1, 2014, the organization will be streamlined by eliminating the Sector level and bundling business into nine Divisions instead of the current 16. In addition, Healthcare will be separately managed in the future.
Bundling the Divisions and eliminating the Sectors will reduce bureaucracy, cut costs and accelerate decision-making within the company. In addition, the companys support functions for example, human resources and communications are to be streamlined and centrally managed in the future. These measures, which are expected to increase productivity by some 1 billion a year, are to be fully effective by the end of fiscal 2016. To optimize cost development sustainably, the company has set a new target for total cost productivity. Starting in fiscal 2015, it is to total three to five percent a year.
As of fiscal 2015, the Divisions will be assigned target profit margin ranges excluding PPA effects that is, excluding the acquisition-related amortization of intangibles. These target ranges are oriented on the profit margins of each Divisions main competitors.
Power and Gas | 11 15% | |
Wind Power and Renewables | 5 8% | |
Energy Management | 7 10% | |
Building Technologies | 8 11% | |
Mobility | 6 9% | |
Digital Factory | 14 20% | |
Process Industries and Drives | 8 12% | |
Healthcare | 15 19% | |
Financial Services | 15 20% (Return on equity) |
In addition, the company wants to expand its share plans for employees below the senior management level and increase the number of employee shareholders by at least 50 percent to well over 200,000. For this purpose, Siemens will make up to €400 million available annually depending on company performance. In addition, the launch of the previously announced share buyback program of up to 4 billion is upcoming.
We expect our markets to remain challenging in fiscal 2014. Our short-cycle businesses are not anticipating a sustainable 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 out-standing of 843 million as of September 30, 2013. Furthermore, it excludes impacts related to legal and regulatory matters.
21
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.
As previously disclosed, protectionist trade policies and changes in the political and regulatory environment in the markets in which we operate, such as import and export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers and price or exchange controls, could affect our business in several national markets, impact our sales and profitability and make the repatriation of profits difficult, and may expose us to penalties, sanctions and reputational damage. In addition, the uncertainty of the legal environment in some regions could limit our ability to enforce our rights and subject us to continually increasing costs related to designing and implementing appropriate compliance programs and protocols.
As a globally operating organization, we conduct business with customers in countries, such as Iran, Syria and Cuba, that are subject to increasingly expansive export control regulations, embargoes, economic sanctions or other forms of trade restrictions imposed by the U.S., the European Union or other countries or organizations.
Ongoing political disputes, particularly regarding the Ukraine, may result in additional trade restrictions and other negative effects, e.g. on the global economy, impacting our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
During the first six 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 second quarter of fiscal 2014 (three months ended March 31, 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.9 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 StatementsThe accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2014, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 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 and six months ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of future results. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were authorized for issue by the Managing Board on May 9, 2014.
Financial statement presentationInformation disclosed in the Notes relates to Siemens unless stated otherwise.
Use of estimatesThe 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxesIn interim periods, tax expense is based on the current estimated annual effective tax rate of Siemens.
ReclassificationThe presentation of certain prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. To enhance transparency, the Company changed retrospectively the presentation of financing of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the second quarter of fiscal 2014.
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 Companys Consolidated Financial Statements; disclosures according to IFRS 12 will be provided in the Notes to the September 30, 2014 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 Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
30
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 Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

FUNDED STATUS OF POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
As of March 31, 2014, the funded status of Siemens defined benefit plans reports an underfunding of 9.4 billion, compared to an underfunding of 9.1 billion as of September 30, 2013. This includes an underfunding of pension plans of 8.9 billion and 8.5 billion as of March 31, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively.
The weighted-average discount rate used to determine the estimated DBO of Siemens defined benefit plans as of March 31, 2014, and September 30, 2013, is 3.1% and 3.4%, respectively.
Contributions made by the Company to its post-employment benefit plans in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 127 million and 72 million, respectively, and 274 million and 339 million, respectively, in the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
7. PROVISIONS
In the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, the Power Transmission Division of the Energy Sector incurred pretax losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income of 287 million and 297 million, respectively, due to project charges relating to two high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line projects in Canada. The losses resulted from revised estimates for civil engineering and infrastructure provided by suppliers as well as penalties for associated project delays among other factors and were mainly recorded in current provisions for order related losses and risks. In the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, Power Transmissions grid connections to offshore wind-farms primarily in Germany resulted in additional pretax losses of 23 million and 90 million which mainly reduced inventory.
8. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
TREASURY STOCK
In November 2013, Siemens announced a share buyback of up to 4 billion ending latest on October 31, 2015. The buybacks will be made under the current authorization granted at the Annual Shareholders Meeting on January 25, 2011, which allows for further share repurchases of a maximum of 47.8 million shares under this program. Shares repurchased may inter alia be used for cancelling and reducing capital stock, for issuing shares to current and former employees, to members of the Managing Board and board members of affiliated companies and for meeting obligations from or in connection with convertible bonds or warrant bonds.
35
In the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Siemens transferred a total of 3,126,473 and 3,362,232 of treasury stock, respectively, in connection with share-based payment plans. In the six months ended March 31, 2013, Siemens repurchased 16,321,826 treasury shares at a weighted average share price of 78.50.
RESOLUTIONS AT THE ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
At the Annual Shareholders Meeting on January 28, 2014, the Companys shareholders passed a resolution on the appropriation of net income of Siemens AG, approving and authorizing a dividend of 3.00 per share, representing a 2.5 billion dividend payment. The dividend was paid on January 29, 2014.
Authorized Capital 2009 expired on January 26, 2014. At the Annual Shareholders Meeting on January 28, 2014, shareholders resolved on the creation of Authorized Capital 2014. Authorized Capital 2014 authorizes the Managing Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase capital stock by up to nominal 528.6 million through issuing up to 176.2 million no par value shares for contributions in cash or in kind until January 27, 2019 with the option of excluding subscription rights.
At the Annual Shareholders Meeting on January 28, 2014, shareholders resolved on the cancelation of the authorization to issue convertible bonds and/or warrant bonds dated January 25, 2011 as well as on cancelling Conditional Capital 2011. A new authorization of the Managing Board was granted which permits the issuance of convertible bonds and/or warrant bonds; in addition, shareholders resolved on the creation of Conditional Capital 2014. The new resolution allows the Managing Board to issue convertible and/or warrant bonds or a combination of these instruments in an aggregate principal amount of up to 15 billion, entitling the holders to subscribe to up to 80 million no par value shares, which represents an increase in capital stock of up to 240 million.

10. 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 individual indictments 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 individual 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.
As previously reported, in February 2012, the Munich public prosecutor notified Siemens AG of a request for mutual assistance in criminal matters by the Swiss Federal Prosecution authority. The investigation of the Swiss Federal Prosecution involved the Swedish subsidiary Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT) in connection with alleged payments to employees of a Russian natural gas production company between calendar 2004 and 2006. In July 2013, the Swiss Federal Prosecution launched a criminal investigation against SIT for organizational neglect. In September 2013, the investigation was discontinued due to a settlement with the Swiss Federal Prosecution that included a restitution payment to a nonprofit organization and a compensation claim relating to forfeiture of profits in the lower double digit US$ million range. In April 2014, the Stockholm Prosecutor notified Siemens about the initiation of an investigation against SIT employees.
As previously reported, in August 2010, the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) issued notices of administrative proceedings in two Latin-American countries against, among others, Siemens alleging fraudulent misstatements, antitrust violations and public corruption in connection with public invitations to tender in calendar 2003. Siemens cooperated with the IADB. In April 2014, a settlement was reached with the IADB which involves a payment of a single digit million amount and a voluntary restraint from IADB-financed projects for three years by two Latin-American businesses, one of which is no longer owned by Siemens.
As previously reported, in August 2013, a Brazilian Appellate Court upheld a decision to suspend Siemens Ltda. Brazil from participating in public tenders 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 has further appealed the decision. In March 2014, upon request of Siemens Ltda., Siemens Ltda.s exclusion from public tenders and contracts was temporarily suspended until a final court decision is reached.
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
39
16,588 shares of Siemens AG based on stock awards for fiscal 2004 and 2005 plus dividends to Mr. Neubürger, subject to Mr. Neubürgers 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. In April 2014, the European Court of Justice confirmed the fine of 4.5 million originally imposed by the European Commission against former VA Tech companies and Schneider Electric. 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 February 2014 National Grid reduced the aggregate amount to £276 million. In June 2009, the Siemens defendants filed their answers to the complaint and requested National Grids 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 (CADE) and other relevant authorities relating to possible antitrust violations in 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. In March 2014, CADE commenced administrative proceedings, confirming Siemens immunity from administrative fines for the reported potential misconduct. In March 2014, Siemens was informed that the Public Prosecutors Office of the State of São Paulo has initiated criminal proceedings into alleged violations of Brazilian antitrust law against a number of individuals including current and former Siemens employees. Siemens Brazil is cooperating with the authorities. To this end, in March 2014, it signed an agreement with the Public Prosecutors Office of the State of São Paulo that formalizes and structures the cooperation in investigations relating to contracts in the subway and rail sector.

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 AGs 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 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 regular electricity production of the plant may be postponed until calendar year 2016. In February 2014, TVO announced that it has not received an updated schedule for the completion of the plant and that it therefore will not provide an estimate for the start-up time of the plant at the moment. The schedule and the additional delay of the start-up time are currently under assessment. 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, TVOs alleged counterclaims amounted to 1.59 billion based on a delay of up to 56 months. The further delay beyond 56 months (beyond December 2013) could lead TVO to further increase its counterclaims. Based on a completion in August 2014 as reported in December 2011, TVO estimates that its counterclaims amount to 1.77 billion. 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.
Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd., UK, was informed during fiscal 2014 of a lawsuit that was filed with an Iranian Court. Siemens has not yet been served. The alleged claims relate to damages for alleged violations of contractual obligations and are not quantified. Siemens will defend itself against the action.

12. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
Total pretax expense for share-based payment recognized in line item Income from continuing operations amounted to 39 million and 37 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and to 112 million and 103 million in the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. They refer primarily to equity-settled awards.
STOCK AWARDS
Commitments to members of the Managing Board
The remuneration system for the Managing Board was revised by the Supervisory Board, effective as of 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 six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 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. The fair value of these stock awards amounts to 56 million and 53 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013, of which 40 million and 41 million relate to equity instruments.

SHARE MATCHING PROGRAM AND ITS UNDERLYING PLANS
In the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Siemens issued a new tranche under each of the following plans: the Share Matching Plan, the Monthly Investment Plan and the Base Share Program. The Managing Board decided that shares acquired under the Monthly Investment Plan issued in fiscal 2013 are transferred to the Share Matching Plan effective February 2014. Under the Base Share Program the Company incurred pretax expense from continuing operations of 32 million and 31 million, respectively, in the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends during the vesting period as matching shares do not carry dividend rights during the vesting period. Non-vesting conditions, i.e. the condition neither to transfer, sell, pledge nor otherwise encumber the underlying shares, were considered in determining the fair value. In fiscal 2014 and 2013, the weighted average grant date fair value of the resulting matching shares is 73.00 and 57.77 per share, respectively, based on the number of instruments granted.

The inclusion of those shares would have been antidilutive in the years presented. In the future, the warrants could potentially dilute basic earnings per share.
14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information is presented for continuing operations. For accounting policies of Segment information, see Note 36 Segment information of the Notes to the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2013.

In the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Corporate items and pensions in the column Profit includes (239) million and (113) million income (expense), respectively, related to corporate items, as well as (196) million and (205) million income (expense), respectively, related to pensions.
ADDITIONAL SEGMENT INFORMATION
In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Profit of SFS includes interest income of 227 million and 204 million, respectively, and interest expense of 76 million and 83 million, respectively. In the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, Profit of SFS includes interest income of 469 million and 424 million, respectively, and interest expense of 157 million and 162 million, respectively.
Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Siemens reports results related to an equity investment in phase with results of Siemens, rather than with the lag of one quarter. Due to the one-time catch-up effect associated with this change, profit for the first six months of fiscal 2014 therefore includes results related to this equity investment for three quarters rather than the usual two. This one-time catch up effect increased income from investments accounted for using the equity method by 59 million.

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 March 31, 2014 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to Sec. 37w 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 Companys 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.
