E. Notes and forward-looking statements
This document contains statements related to our future busi-
ness and financial performance and future events or develop-
ments 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 share-
holders 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 this Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying expectations
not occur or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, per-
formance 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 develop-
ments which differ from those anticipated.
This document includes – in IFRS not clearly defined – supple-
mental financial measures that are or may be non-GAAP finan-
cial 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 opera-
tions as presented in accordance with IFRS in its Consolidated
Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe
similarly titled financial measures may calculate them differ-
ently.
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.
This document is an English language translation of the
German document. In case of discrepancies, the German
language document is the sole authoritative and universally
valid version.
For technical reasons, there may be differences between the
accounting records appearing in this document and those
published pursuant to legal requirements.
