Please read the complete Earnings Release and Financial Results:   Financial Publications are available for download at:  www.siemens.com/ir Siemens performed solidly in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 even as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic began to impact our operations and our financial results. We expect even stronger impacts from the pandemic on business development in our fiscal third quarter. Beyond the third quarter of fiscal 2020, macroeconomic developments and their influence on Siemens currently cannot be reliably assessed. Therefore, we can no longer confirm our original guidance for fiscal 2020. We now expect a moderate decline in comparable revenue in fiscal year 2020, net of currency translation and portfolio effects, with the book-to-bill ratio remaining above 1. The decline in demand most strongly affects our Operating Companies Digital Industries and Smart Infrastructure. We adhere to our plan to complete the spin-off and public listing of Siemens Energy before the end of fiscal 2020. We expect to record a spin-off gain within discontinued operations, the amount of which cannot yet be reliably forecast. We continue to expect material impacts on Net income from spin-off costs and tax expenses related to the carve-out and sub-group creation of Siemens Energy. Given the above-mentioned circumstances we currently refrain from giving guidance for basic EPS from Net income for fiscal 2020.
