Siemens implements previously announced reorientation at IT subsidiary SBS Product Related Services business sold to Fujitsu Siemens Computers

Siemens has sold the Product Related Services (PRS) unit of Siemens Business Services (SBS) to Fujitsu Siemens Computers BV, effective April 1, 2006. A contract governing the sale has been signed today. Financial details were not disclosed. With this sale, Siemens is implementing the reorientation of its IT subsidiary that it had announced some time ago. SBS will now focus fully on IT services in the outsourcing market and those for innovative IT projects. The transaction is subject to the approval of antitrust authorities.

In PRS, SBS is selling a unit with some 5,000 employees worldwide and sales of about 1.3 billion euros in the past fiscal year (September 30, 2005). At Fujitsu Siemens Computers, PRS will be integrated as a whole and form the core of a new service unit.

Following the sale of PRS, SBS will concentrate on the two areas Operation Related Services and Solutions. These areas form the heart of the Group, accounting for more than three-fourths of SBS’ revenues of about 5.4 billion euros in fiscal 2005.

“We are pleased to have found the right partner for our Product Related Services unit. Fujitsu Siemens Computers is eager to lastingly strengthen its portfolio in this area and has clearly defined this as a strategic objective,” said Dr. Klaus Kleinfeld, President and CEO of Siemens AG. In acquiring PRS, he noted, Fujitsu Siemens Computers is following the trend in the IT product business of offering hardware and related services from a single source. Kleinfeld continued, “SBS will now focus completely on restructuring and developing its core business.” In the future SBS will cooperate with Fujitsu Siemens Computers or other partners to offer product-related services as a part of its outsourcing and solutions projects, he said.

These statements may be identified by words as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “will” or words of similar meaning. Such statements are based on our current expectations and certain assumptions, and are, therefore, subject to certain risks and uncertainties. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond Siemens’ control, affect its operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens worldwide to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 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 anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. Siemens does not intend or assume any obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.
