Management’s discussion and analysis

Overview of financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006

  Orders rose to 26.788 billion, up 31% compared to the first quarter a year earlier, and sales increased 22%, to 20.719 billion.
 
  Net income was 813 million compared to 1.001 billion in the prior-year period.
 
  On a continuing basis, net cash from operating and investing activities was a negative 820 million, reflecting a significant increase in net working capital in line with growth. A year earlier, net cash from operating and investing activities was a negative 2.006 billion, including 1.496 billion in supplemental cash pension contributions.

     We believe, the first quarter demonstrates that Siemens’ business portfolio delivers strong growth on the combination of innovative solutions, strong presence in growth markets and acquisitions. Most Groups showed higher earnings, however, net income was affected by severance charges at Com and SBS. With 2006 off to a good start all our measures along with the Product Related Services disposal are directed towards our 2007 targets.

     For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, ended December 31, 2005, Siemens reported net income of 813 million, basic earnings per share of 0.91, and diluted earnings per share of 0.87. In the first quarter a year earlier, net income was 1.001 billion and basic and diluted earnings per share were 1.12 and 1.08, respectively. Discontinued operations lost 2 million in the quarter, compared to 82 million in the same period a year earlier. Excluding discontinued operations, income from continuing operations in the first quarter was 815 million, and corresponding basic and diluted earnings per share were 0.92 and 0.87, respectively. A year earlier, income from continuing operations was 1.083 billion, and corresponding basic and diluted earnings per share were 1.22 and 1.16, respectively.

     Within our Operations Groups, the Information and Communications Groups incurred sharply higher severance charges. Siemens Business Services (SBS) took 207 million in severance charges and posted a substantially higher loss compared to the first quarter a year earlier, and Communications (Com) took 144 million in severance charges. These combined charges offset a gain of 356 million at Com from sales of shares in Juniper Networks, Inc. (Juniper). A year earlier, Com recorded a 208 million gain in the first quarter from Juniper share sales. Aside from Com and SBS, all other Groups within Operations increased their earnings year-over-year except for Power Generation (PG), which sustained an adverse settlement in arbitration. PG nevertheless remained among Siemens’ earnings leaders, along with Automation and Drives (A&D), Medical Solutions (Med), Siemens VDO Automotive (SV) and Osram.

     Earnings from Financing and Real Estate activities were 132 million compared to 136 million in the first quarter a year ago. Earnings from Corporate Treasury activities were also lower year-over-year, at 65 million compared to 104 million. The difference is an outcome of the shift in Siemens’ net debt position associated with substantial cash outflows for acquisitions and a build-up of net working capital associated with growth. Net income was further reduced by higher centrally carried pension expense, which resulted from a reduction in the discount rate assumption at the end of fiscal 2005.

     First-quarter orders of 26.788 billion were up 31% compared to the first quarter a year earlier, including an unusually high level of large orders. Sales increased 22% year-over-year, to 20.719 billion. Excluding currency and portfolio effects, first-quarter orders rose 13% and sales were up 7% year-over-year, with strong order contributions from Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD), Transportation Systems (TS), PG, Siemens Building Technologies (SBT) and A&D. On a regional basis, growth was strongest in Asia-Pacific. In China, orders and sales rose 73% and 59%, while growth was even stronger in India, where orders more than tripled year-over-year. For Asia-Pacific as whole, orders increased 70% year-over-year and sales rose 44%.

     On a continuing basis, Operations in the first quarter used 930 million in net cash from operating and investing activities, including outflows for investments and acquisitions, as well as a significant build-up of net working capital. In the prior-year period, operating and investing activities within Operations used net cash of 1.998 billion, including PG’s acquisition of its wind power business and 1.496 billion in supplemental pension plan contributions. For Siemens on a continuing basis, operating and investing activities in the first quarter used net cash of 820 million, compared to net cash used of 2.006 billion a year earlier.

Results of Siemens – First quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to first quarter of fiscal 2005
     The following discussion presents selected information for Siemens for the first quarter:
                 
    First Quarter  
( in millions)   2006
    2005
 
New orders
    26,788       20,412  
New orders in Germany
    4,818       4,361  
New international orders
    21,970       16,051

Sales in Germany
    4,078       3,966  
International sales
    16,641       13,064  
     Orders of 26.788 billion were up 31% from 20.412 billion a year earlier, including particularly strong demand in Asia-Pacific. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 were 20.719 billion, a 22% increase from 17.030 billion in the prior-year period. Excluding currency translation effects and the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, orders rose 13% and sales were up 7%. Large new contracts were numerous and well-distributed, both geographically and among the Groups.
     International orders rose 37% compared to the prior-year period, to 21.970 billion, and sales rose 27% year-over-year, to 16.641 billion. In Germany, orders rose 10%, to 4.818 billion, on a balance of both acquisitions and organic growth, while acquisitions pushed sales up 3%, to 4.078 billion. In Europe outside Germany, orders increased 28%, to 8.148 billion, with a strong contribution from acquisitions. Sales in Europe outside Germany rose 17% year-over- year, to 6.673 billion, including organic growth and acquisitions. The growth in U.S. orders and sales, up 19% at 4.398 billion and up 14% at 3.835 billion, respectively, was strongly influenced by currency translation effects. This factor also influenced growth in Asia-Pacific, where orders climbed 70% year-over-year, to 4.864 billion and sales of 2.852 billion were 44% higher than in the prior-year period. Within Asia-Pacific, orders in China surged 73%, to 1.894 billion, and sales in China were up 59%, at 999 million.

    5,608       5,433  
as percentage of sales
    27.1 %     31.9 %
     Gross profit increased 3% year-over-year, due to a significant increase in sales compared to the prior-year period. Gross profit margin declined, however, to 27.1% from 31.9%, reflecting substantial severance charges at Com and SBS, as well as a lower margin at PG resulting from the change in sales mix and an adverse result in arbitration related to a turnkey project.

     Research and development expenses increased slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the prior-year period. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were 6.2%, down from 6.6% in the first quarter a year earlier. Marketing, selling and general administrative expenses also increased but declined as a percent of sales, from 19.5% to 18.0%, due to significantly higher sales year-over-year. Other operating income, net rose to 69 million from 17 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, in part due to gains from real property sales. Income from financial assets and marketable securities in the first quarter was 340 million, up from 299 million. Both periods included gains from the sale of shares in Juniper, which amounted to 356 million in the current year compared to 208 million in the prior-year period. Income from Corporate Treasury activities was lower in the current period, primarily due to interest rate hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting.

     Com recorded double-digit growth in the first quarter, increasing sales to 3.420 billion and orders to 3.894 billion. Volume growth came from Com’s large carrier networks business, which also increased its earnings contribution year-over-year. While the enterprise networks business posted a modest increase in sales year-over-year, significant severance charges contributed to a loss compared to a positive contribution a year earlier. Com’s devices business declined compared to the prior year. For Com overall, Group profit of 323 million included 356 million from the sale of its remaining Juniper shares, more than offsetting a total of 144 million in severance charges. For comparison, Group profit of 372 million in the first quarter a year earlier included 208 million in gains from Juniper share sales.

     Orders at SBS in the first quarter reached 1.505 billion but came in below the high level of the prior-year period, which included a larger contribution from long-term outsourcing contracts partly involving acquisitions. Conversion of these earlier orders to current business contributed to SBS’ 12% rise in first-quarter sales year-over-year. Severance charges totaling 207 million contributed substantially to the Group’s loss of 229 million for the quarter.
     During the quarter, SBS reached an agreement to sell its Product Related Services business to a Siemens joint venture, Fujitsu Siemens Computers BV. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter.

     In the first quarter, A&D increased Group profit 19% to 354 million, including positive contributions from Flender Holding GmbH and Robicon Corp., acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. Sales and orders climbed to 2.928 billion and 3.628 billion, respectively, as A&D combined volume from its new activities with broad-based organic growth, particularly in China and India.
     Beginning in fiscal 2006, A&D includes the Electronics Assembly Systems division on a retroactive basis, to provide a meaningful comparison with prior periods. The division was formerly part of the Logistics and Assembly Systems Group (L&A), which was dissolved as of the beginning of fiscal 2006.

     Beginning in fiscal 2006, I&S includes the Airport Logistics and Postal Automation divisions, formerly of L&A, on a retroactive basis. Results for I&S also include significant portions of VA Technologie AG (VA Tech), which Siemens acquired between the periods under review.
     I&S recorded a broad-based rise in first-quarter Group profit, to 55 million, including positive contributions from its new businesses. Sales rose to 1.978 billion, on double-digit organic growth combined with new revenues from the Group’s expansion. Orders climbed to 2.705 billion, primarily due to new volume from the VA Tech business, particularly a large order in Poland.

     Group profit at SBT was 50 million in the first quarter. For comparison, Group profit of 49 million in the same period a year earlier included a gain on the sale of an investment. Sales of 1.102 billion in the first quarter were up 9% year-over-year, and orders climbed 26%, to 1.373 billion, including broad-based growth in SBT’s security, safety, building comfort and building automation solutions.

     PG contributed Group profit of 177 million in the first quarter. The difference compared to the prior year is due to an adverse result in arbitration related to a turnkey project in the Philippines, which dates back to 1999 and for which the Group had previously taken some provisions. Group profit for the current period included 33 million in cancellation gains, compared to 29 million in the prior-year period. The decline in earnings margin also reflects the shift in the Group’s sales mix toward faster growth in industrial turbine and alternative energy activities relative to fossil power generation. Sales climbed 31% compared to the prior-year period, to 2.074 billion, and orders jumped 63%, to 4.060 billion, on broad-based demand including major orders in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

     PTD posted higher Group profit of 84 million in the first quarter, combining a positive contribution from its portion of the VA Tech acquisition with broad-based earnings increases in its existing businesses. PTD also delivered significant organic growth to go along with new volume from VA Tech, particularly in its High Voltage division which won two large contracts in the Middle East. As a result, PTD’s sales climbed 75% year-over-year, to 1.456 billion, and the Group’s orders more than doubled, to a record 2.473 billion.

     Osram increased its first-quarter Group profit to 125 million and sales rose 7%, to 1.158 billion. Higher revenues, particularly including growth in the Americas, led to higher capacity utilization and improved earnings in the Group’s largest division, General Lighting.
Other Operations
     Other Operations consist of centrally held equity investments, joint ventures and operating businesses not related to a Group. Other Operations includes the Dematic businesses which were carved out of the former L&A Group and are presented on a retroactive basis, to provide a meaningful comparison with prior periods, as well as a small portion of the VA Tech business, which Siemens acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005. In the first quarter, Group profit from Other Operations was 33 million, down from 71 million a year earlier due largely to losses in the Dematic businesses. Sales for Other Operations totaled 997 million compared to 744 million a year earlier, as decreases in the Dematic businesses year-over-year, were more than offset by the contributions from the acquired VA Tech business.
Corporate items, pensions and eliminations
     Corporate items, pensions and eliminations totaled a negative 329 million in the first quarter, compared to a negative 270 million in the same period a year earlier. The primary difference year-over-year is an increase in centrally carried pension expense, resulting from a reduction in the discount rate assumption at September 30, 2005.

     In the first quarter, SRE recorded income before income taxes of 53 million compared to 37 million in the prior-year period. The difference includes positive effects in the current year related to sales of real property.
Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
     Income before income taxes from Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury was 65 million compared to 104 million a year earlier. The difference was due mainly to reduced interest rate hedging activities not qualifying for hedge accounting, as business growth, particularly involving substantial cash outflows for acquisitions and a build-up of net working capital, resulted in a shift in Siemens’ net debt position.
Liquidity, capital resources and capital requirements
Cash flow – First three months of fiscal 2006 compared to first three months of fiscal 2005
     The following discussion presents an analysis of Siemens’ cash flows for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The first table below presents net cash flow for continuing and discontinued operations in which net cash flow from discontinued operations is explained in more detail. The second table, which focuses only on continuing operations, then analyzes net cash flow for Siemens’ components.

     On a continuing basis, net cash used in operating and investing activities was 820 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to net cash used of 2.006 billion in the prior-year period. In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, discontinued operations used net cash of 162 million relating to the sale of the mobile devices business. Discontinued operations used net cash from operating and investing activities of 299 million in the prior year. In total, including continuing and discontinued operations, net cash used in operating and investing activities was 982 million, compared to net cash used of 2.305 billion in the same period a year earlier.

     In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, Operations used net cash from operating activities of 456 million, compared to net cash used of 1.342 billion in the prior-year period. In the current period, net working capital rose significantly in line with overall business growth. This increase was partly offset by a rise in other current liabilities due to higher advance payments, which are also associated with strong order growth, particularly at PG and TS. The prior year included contributions to Siemens pension plans of 1.496 billion. Within Corporate Treasury and the Financing and Real Estate activities, net cash provided by operating activities was 439 million in the first quarter, up from 368 million in the prior year. Siemens used net cash of 17 million from operating activities, compared to net cash used of 974 million in the same period a year earlier.
     Operations used net cash from investing activities of 474 million in the current period, compared to 656 million a year earlier. While additions to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to the prior year, cash outflows for acquisitions in the current period were lower than in the prior-year period, which included the acquisition of Bonus Energy A/S at PG. Proceeds from sales of marketable securities increased year-over-year, reflecting proceeds from the sale of Juniper shares of 465 million in the current year, compared to 263 million a year ago. Within Corporate Treasury and the Financing and Real Estate activities net cash used in investing activities in the current quarter was 329 million down from 376 million in the prior-year period. Siemens used net cash from investing activities of 803 million. In the same period a year earlier Siemens used net cash of 1.032 billion.
     Financing activities used net cash of 340 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Net cash provided of 704 million a year earlier included proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt.
Pension plan funding
     At the end of the first three months of fiscal 2006, the combined funding status of Siemens’ principal pension plans showed an underfunding of 3.1 billion, compared to an underfunding of 3.5 billion at the end of fiscal 2005. The improvement was due to regular contributions, as well as a higher-than-expected actual return on plan assets in the first quarter.
     The fair value of plan assets of Siemens’ principal funded pension plans on December 31, 2005 was 22.2 billion, compared to 21.5 billion on September 30, 2005.
     In the first three months of fiscal 2006, regular employer contributions amounted to 362 million compared to 199 million in the prior-year quarter. The first quarter of the prior year included supplemental cash contributions of 1.496 billion.
     The estimated projected benefit obligation (PBO) for Siemens’ principal pension plans, which takes into account future compensation increases, amounted to 25.3 billion on December 31, 2005. This was approximately 300 million higher than the PBO of 25.0 billion on September 30, 2005, due to the net of pension service and interest costs less benefits paid during the quarter plus currency translation effects.

EVA performance
     Siemens ties a portion of its executive incentive compensation to achieving economic value added (EVA) targets. EVA measures the profitability of a business (using Group profit for the Operations Groups and income before income taxes for the Financing and Real Estate businesses as a base) against the additional cost of capital used to run a business (using Net capital employed for the Operations Groups and risk-adjusted equity for the Financing and Real Estate businesses as a base). A positive EVA means that a business has earned more than its cost of capital, whereas a negative EVA means that a business has earned less than its cost of capital. Depending on the EVA development year-over-year, a business is defined as value-creating or value-destroying. Other companies that use EVA may define and calculate EVA differently. EVA in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was positive but below the level a year earlier.
Legal proceeding
     On January 19, 2006, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois charged Siemens Medical Solutions US (SMS) with committing mail and wire fraud in connection with a bid on a public contract for radiological equipment in the year 2000. The charges are based on alleged non-compliance with certain bidding terms and alleged misconduct during a trial related to the fulfillment of such terms. The bidding terms of the public contract were later ruled unconstitutional. SMS, which has cooperated with the government’s investigation, considers the allegations as unjustified and intends to oppose them in court.

For us, particular uncertainties arise, among others, from changes in general economic and business conditions, changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates, introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies, lack of acceptance of new products or services by customers targeted by Siemens worldwide, changes in business strategy and various other factors. More detailed information about certain of these factors is contained in Siemens’ filings with the SEC, which are available on the Siemens website, www.siemens.com and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the relevant forward-looking statement as expected, anticipated, intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected.

SIEMENS AG
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
NOTES
1. Basis of presentation
     The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present the operations of Siemens AG and its subsidiaries, (the Company or Siemens). The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP). Siemens prepares and reports on its Consolidated Financial Statements in euros ().
     Siemens is a German based multinational corporation with a balanced business portfolio of activities predominantly in the field of electronics and electrical engineering.
     Interim financial statements—The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005, the Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared for interim financial information. The interim financial statements are based on the accounting principles and practices applied in the preparation of the financial statements for the last fiscal year except as indicated below. In the opinion of management, these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods. These interim financial statements should be read in connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2005 Annual Report. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of future results.
     Financial statement presentation—The presentation of the Company’s worldwide financial data (Siemens) is accompanied by a component model that shows the worldwide financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the operating businesses (Operations) separately from those for financing and real estate activities (Financing and Real Estate), the Corporate Treasury and certain elimination and reclassification effects (Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury). These components contain the Company’s reportable segments (also referred to as “Groups”). The financial data presented for these components are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as if they were separate entities under U.S. GAAP. See also Note 15. The information disclosed in these Notes relates to Siemens unless otherwise stated.
     Basis of consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Siemens AG and all subsidiaries which are directly or indirectly controlled. Additionally, the Company consolidates variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Associated companies—companies in which Siemens has the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies (generally through direct or indirect ownership of 20% to 50% of the voting rights)—are recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method of accounting.
     Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent amounts at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Reclassification—The presentation of certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
     Stock-based compensation—As of October 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 (revised 2004) Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize stock-based compensation expense, with certain limited exceptions, based on fair value. Siemens uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock-based compensation plans. In transitioning to SFAS 123R, the Company applied the modified prospective method. Commencing with the adoption of SFAS 123R, liability classified awards are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the award is settled. Equity awards granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled beginning October 1, 2005 and unvested equity awards granted prior to October 1, 2005, are measured at their grant-date fair value. Related compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period for awards expected to ultimately vest. Equity awards vested prior to the effective date continue to be accounted for under recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     The adoption of SFAS 123R, including the remeasurement to fair value of liability classified awards, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due primarily to the adoption of the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS 123 on October 1, 2003 for which the prospective method was applied. Due to the insignificance of the impact of adopting SFAS 123R on the prior year period presentation, pro forma disclosures have been omitted.
     See Note 13 for further information on stock-based compensation.
2. Discontinued Operations
     In fiscal 2005, Siemens sold its Mobile Devices (MD) business, which was part of Com, to BenQ Corporation (BenQ) based in Taiwan.

Assets and liabilities held for sale as at December 31, 2005 amounted to 382 and 369, respectively. In the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, Loss from discontinued operations includes net sales of 344 and 1,137 respectively as well as 6 and 136, respectively, in pre-tax losses after minority interests.

     The increase in goodwill of 330 in the three months ended December 31, 2005 results from 261 acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments and 69 primarily for U.S.$. currency translation adjustments. Specifically, the acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments related to PG, SBT, I&S, A&D, SV, Med, TS and SFS. As Logistics and Assembly Systems (L&A) was dissolved as of October 1, 2005, the Airport Logistics and Postal Automation divisions were transferred to I&S. In connection with this transfer, goodwill of 123 was reclassified to I&S on a retroactive basis. No goodwill was impaired or written-off in the three months ended December 31, 2005.
     Goodwill increased by 3 in the three months ended December 31, 2004. The increase of 265 in connection with acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments was offset by (262) foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the strength of the Euro particularly against the U.S.$. Acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments related to PG, Com, Osram and I&S. No goodwill was impaired or written-off in the three months ended December 31, 2004.

     Fair value information
     The Company’s determination of the fair value of grants is based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions made in estimating the fair value of grants made during the three months ended December 31, 2005 are as follows:
         
    Assumptions at  
    grant date  
    fiscal 2006
 
Risk-free interest rate
    2.99 %
Expected dividend yield
    2.41 %
Expected volatility
    18.30 %
Expected option life
  3.5 yrs.
Estimated weighted average fair value per option
  4.06  
Fair value of total options granted during fiscal year
  11  
     A Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair values of options that have no vesting restrictions. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Changes in subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the option. In fiscal 2006, the expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Siemens shares, implied volatility for traded Siemens options with similar terms and features, and certain other factors. The expected term is derived applying the simplified method, determined as the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on applicable governmental bonds.
     Stock awards
     In the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company granted 1,076,860 stock awards to 5,198 employees, of which 25,221 awards were granted to the Managing Board. Details on stock award activity and weighted average grant-date fair value for the three months ended December 31, 2005 are as follows:
                 
            Weighted Average  
            Grant-Date Fair  
    Awards
    Value
 
Nonvested, beginning of the period
    1,136,048     55.63  
Granted
    1,076,860     57.28  
Vested
         
Forfeited
    (12,939 )   55.99  
Nonvested, end of period
    2,199,969     56.44  
Exercisable, end of period
         
     Fair value was determined as the market price of Siemens shares less the present value of expected dividends. Total fair value of stock awards granted in the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, amounted to 62 and 64, respectively.
     As of December 31, 2005, unrecognized compensation costs related to stock awards amount to 102, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of 3.4 years.
     Employee share purchase plan
     Under a compensatory employee share purchase program, employees may purchase a limited number of shares in the Company at preferential prices once a year. Up to a stipulated date in the first quarter of each fiscal year, employees may order the shares, which are usually issued in the second quarter of each fiscal year. The employee share purchase program is measured at fair value. During the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred compensation expense of 38 and 31, respectively, related to the sale of repurchased shares to employees, based on a preferential employee share price of 46.12 and 43.24, respectively, and a grant-date fair value of 21.19 and 16.87, respectively, per share. For information on corresponding Siemens share repurchases, see Note 11.

     II. Liability settled awards
     Stock appreciation rights (SARs)
     Where local regulations restrict the grant of stock options in certain jurisdictions, the Company grants SARs to employees under the same conditions as the 2001 Siemens Stock Option Plan except that SARs are exerciseable in cash only. Details on SARs activity and weighted average exercise prices for the three months ended December 31, 2005 are as follows:

*   Thereof 74,285 SARs with a 72.54 exercise price and a weighted average remaining life of 3.9 years, 188,750 SARs with a 73.25 exercise price and a weighted average remaining life of 2.9 years and 97,270 SARs with a 74.59 exercise price and a weighted average remaining life of 4.9 years.
     Since October 1, 2005, SARs are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the award is settled. The fair value of unvested SARs is based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
     As of December 31, 2005, the expected volatility is based on historical volatility of Siemens shares, implied volatility for traded Siemens options with similar terms and features, and certain other factors. The expected term is derived applying the simplified method, whereas the expected term equals the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on applicable governmental bonds. Changes in subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the SAR.
     Phantom stock
     Where local regulations restrict the grants of stock awards in certain jurisdictions, the Company grants phantom stock to employees under the same conditions as the Siemens stock awards, except that grantees receive the share prices’ equivalent value in cash only at the end of the four year vesting period. In the three months ended December 31, 2005, 31,721 phantom stock rights were granted and 196 phantom stock rights forfeited, resulting in a period-end balance of 59,762 phantom stock rights. None of the phantom stock rights were vested as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.
     Since October 1, 2005, phantom stock rights are remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the award is settled.

15. Segment information
     As of fiscal 2006, the Company has thirteen reportable segments referred to as Groups as described in Note 1 (fourteen Groups prior to L&A’s dissolution—see below for further information). The Groups are organized based on the nature of products and services provided.
     Within the Operations component, Siemens has eleven Groups (twelve Groups prior to L&A’s dissolution). Those Groups involve manufacturing, industrial and commercial goods, solutions and services in areas more or less related to Siemens origins in the electrical business. Also included in Operations are operating activities not associated with a Group, which are reported under Other Operations (see below) as well as other reconciling items discussed in Reconciliation to financial statements below.
     As a result of changes in the Company’s management approach, various modifications were made to the Groups. Based on a decision of the Managing Board in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, L&A was dissolved effective October 1, 2005. The Airport Logistics, Postal Automation and Electronics Assembly Systems divisions were transferred to I&S and A&D, respectively. Prior-year data have been recast into the new structure for purposes of comparison.
     As discussed in Note 2, Com’s MD business is reported as discontinued operations. Current and prior year Segment disclosure excludes the applicable information included in the Company’s financial statement presentation.
     The Financing and Real Estate component includes the Groups SFS and SRE. The Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury component separately reports the consolidation of transactions among Operations and Financing and Real Estate as well as certain reclassifications and the activities of the Company’s Corporate Treasury.
     The accounting policies of these components, as well as the Groups included, are generally the same as those used for Siemens. Corporate overhead is generally not allocated to segments. Intersegment transactions are generally based on market prices.
     New orders are determined principally as the estimated sales value of accepted purchase orders and order value changes and adjustments, excluding letters of intent.
Operations
     The Managing Board is responsible for assessing the performance of the Operations Groups. The Company’s profitability measure for its Operations Groups is earnings before financing interest, certain pension costs and income taxes (Group profit) as determined by the Managing Board as the chief operating decision maker (see discussion below). Group profit excludes various categories of items which are not allocated to the Groups since the Managing Board does not regard such items as indicative of the Groups’ performance. Group profit represents a performance measure focused on operational success excluding the effects of capital market financing issues.

SIEMENS AG
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions of , except where otherwise stated and per share amounts)
     Financing interest is any interest income or expense other than interest income related to receivables from customers, from cash allocated to the Groups and interest expense on payables to suppliers. Financing interest is excluded from Group profit because decision-making regarding financing is typically made centrally by Corporate Treasury.
     Similarly, decision-making regarding essential pension items is done centrally. As a consequence, Group profit includes only amounts based on service costs of pension plans. All other pension related costs, including charges for the German pension insurance association and plan administration costs, are included in the line item Corporate items, pensions and eliminations.
     Furthermore, income taxes are excluded from Group profit since tax expense is subject to legal structures which typically do not correspond to the structure of the Operations Groups.
     The Managing Board also determined Net capital employed as additional information to assess the capital intensity of the Operations Groups. Its definition corresponds with the Group profit measure. Net capital employed is based on total assets excluding intracompany financing receivables and intracompany investments and tax related assets, as the corresponding positions are excluded from Group profit (Asset-based adjustments). The remaining assets are reduced by non-interest bearing liabilities other than tax related liabilities (e.g. accounts payable) and certain accruals (Liability-based adjustments) to derive Net capital employed. The reconciliation of total assets to Net capital employed is presented below.
     Other Operations primarily refers to operating activities not associated with a Group and certain centrally-held equity investments (such as BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH), but excluding the equity investment in Infineon, which is not considered under an operating perspective since Siemens intends to divest its remaining interest in Infineon over time.
Reconciliation to financial statements
     Reconciliation to financial statements includes items which are excluded from definition of Group profit as well as costs of corporate headquarters.
     Corporate items include corporate charges such as personnel costs for corporate headquarters, the results of corporate-related derivative activities as well as corporate projects and non-operating investments. Pensions include the Company’s pension related income (expenses) not allocated to the Groups. Eliminations represent the consolidation of transactions within the Operations component.
     Corporate items, pensions and eliminations in the column Group profit consists of:
                 
    Three months ended  
    December 31,
 
    2005
    2004

Financing and Real Estate
     The Company’s performance measurement for its Financing and Real Estate Groups is Income before income taxes. In contrast to the performance measurement used for the Operations Groups, interest expense and income is an important source of revenue and expense for Financing and Real Estate.
Eliminations, reclassifications and Corporate Treasury
     Income before income taxes consists primarily of interest income due to cash management activities, corporate finance, and certain currency and interest rate derivative instruments.
