Notes and comments on forward-looking statements

This document contains statements that relate to our future business and financial performance and to future events or developments at Siemens Energy that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of words such as "expect", "want", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "aim", "estimate", "will" and "predict" or similar expressions. 

We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, prospectuses, presentations, documents sent to shareholders and press releases. 

In addition, from time to time our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens Energy's management, many of which are beyond Siemens Energy's control. They are therefore subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that are not discussed in the forward-looking statements, particularly in the section "Report on Expected Developments and Significant Opportunities and Risks" of the Annual Report and in the Half-Year Financial Report, which should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report. 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should force majeure events such as pandemics occur, or should underlying expectations, including future events, fail to materialize or be delayed or assumptions prove incorrect, Siemens Energy's actual results, performance or achievements may be materially different (either negatively or positively) from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Siemens Energy assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated. 

This document includes supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures that are not specifically identified in the applicable financial reporting framework. These supplemental financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens Energy's financial condition or results of operations as presented in the consolidated financial statements and determined in accordance with applicable financial reporting frameworks. Other companies that present or report alternative performance measures with a similar description may calculate them differently. 

Due to rounding, it is possible that individual figures in this and other reports do not add up exactly to the totals given and that the percentages shown do not exactly reflect the absolute values to which they relate.
