This announcement includes "forward-looking statements". These statements contain the words "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "expect", "target" and "will" and words of similar meaning. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this announcement, including, without limitation, those regarding Siemens Healthineers’ financial position, business strategy, the expected financial impact of the acquisition of Varian (including costs and revenue synergies), plans and objectives of management for future operations (including the achievement of costs and revenue synergies) are forward-looking statements. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Siemens Healthineers to be materially different from results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Siemens Healthineers’ present and future business strategies and the market environment in which Siemens Healthineers will operate in the future. Each of the companies referred to in this announcement, the relevant group entities and their respective affiliates, agents, directors, officers, employees and advisers, expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update any forward-looking statements contained herein. All forward-looking statements only speak as of the date when they were made and Siemens Healthineers neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, unless required by law, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated. You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements in this announcement and not to place undue reliance on such statements.
This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures (financial key performance indicators) that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens Healthineers’ net assets and financial positions or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its half-year consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently, which may therefore not be comparable.
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 to which they refer.
