Notes and forward-looking statements

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

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

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

the absolute figures.

Q1 FY 2017 - Strong execution of Vision 2020 drives profitability
  • Egypt megaproject milestone achieved
  • Orders -14% to €19.6bn due to fewer large orders; base orders stable
  • Continued moderate revenue growth +3% supported by most divisions
  • Strong quarter with 8 out of 9 Divisions in or at target range
  • Gross margin up 90bps y-o-y to 31.4%
  • Industrial Business margin expansion to 13.0% (+260bps) - strong operational execution and eCar JV gain (90bps)
  • Net income up 25% y-o-y at €1.9bn - drives EPS to €2.35 and ROCE to 18.9%
  • Strong free cash flow of €0.7bn

    Note: Order and Revenue growth rate comparable, i.e. adjusted for currency translation and portfolio effects

    Guidance FY 2017 - Earnings outlook raised

    EPS ("all-in") Guidance

    in €

    7.20 - 7.70

    We anticipate increasing headwinds for macroeconomic growth and investment sentiment in our markets due to the complex geopolitical environment.

    6.80 - 7.20

    6.74

    Therefore, we continue to expect modest growth in revenue, net of effects from currency translation and portfolio transactions. We further continue to anticipate that orders will exceed revenue for a book-to-bill ratio above 1.

    After a strong start into the fiscal year, we raise our previous expectation for profit and EPS for fiscal 2017. We raise our previous expectation for the profit margin of our Industrial Business in the range of 10.5% to 11.5% to the range of 11.0% to 12.0%.

    Furthermore, we raise our previous expectation for basic EPS from net income in the range of €6.80 to €7.20 to the range of €7.20 to €7.70.

    This outlook assumes continuing stabilization in the market environment
