Dissemination of an Ad hoc announcement according to § 15 WpHG, transmitted
by DGAP - a company of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Siemens no longer expects to achieve a Total Sectors profit margin of at
least 12 percent by fiscal 2014, as aimed for in the Siemens 2014 company
program, mainly due to lower market expectations. The measures for
optimizing the portfolio and reducing costs are largely on track. As
announced, Siemens will report third-quarter figures on August 1, 2013.

Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News:

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 'expects,' 'looks forward to,' 'anticipates,'
'intends,' 'plans,' 'believes,' 'seeks,' 'estimates,' 'will,' 'project' or
words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in
other reports, in presentations, in material delivered to stockholders 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, and
are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of
factors, many of which are beyond Siemens' control, affect Siemens'
operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens to be materially
different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or anticipated on
the basis of historical trends. These factors include in particular, but
are not limited to, the matters described in Item 3: Key information-Risk
factors of our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC,
in the chapter 'Risks' of our most recent annual report prepared in
accordance with the German Commercial Code, and in the chapter 'Report on
risks and opportunities' of our most recent interim report.
Further information about risks and uncertainties affecting Siemens is
included throughout our most recent annual and interim reports, as well as
our most recent earnings release, which are available on the Siemens
website, www.siemens.com, and throughout our most recent annual report on
Form 20-F and in our other 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, performance or
achievements of Siemens may vary materially from those described in the
relevant forward-looking statement as being expected, anticipated,
intended, planned, believed, sought, estimated or projected. Siemens
neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these
forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those
anticipated.
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.
