Earnings Release: Dynamic Close to Year of Transition - Topline Growth Again Above Target - Rapid Progress in Transformation Programs

We have done our homework. We did it more quickly than expected. That’s a great help to us now, commented Siemens CEO Peter Löscher. Coming out of our transition year in fiscal 2008, we confront new challenges in the macroeconomic environment. From our position of relative strength we intend to win market share profitably. Organic growth remains our focus, and despite the macroeconomic adversity we confirm our growth target. It has become clearly more ambitious to reach our income guidance for fiscal 2009. But we stick to it. As to the effects of the financial crisis on the real economy, we will assess them quarter by quarter. Peter Löscher, President and Chief Executive Officer of Siemens AG.

Barbara Kux is joining the Managing Board of Siemens AG, marking the first time in the company’s over 160-year history that a woman has been appointed to Siemens AG’s governing body. At the same time, this makes Siemens the only DAX 30 industrial company with a woman on its board. The 54-year-old Swiss citizen, who served as Chief Procurement Officer at Philips in the Netherlands since 2003, will head the newly created Supply Chain Management organization and be responsible for the company’s global procurement volume of €42 billion. She will also serve as Chief Sustainability Officer and take over the marketing of the company’s cross-Sector environmental portfolio.
