Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA ("the Company" or "FMC AG & Co. KGaA"), the world's largest provider of dialysis products and services, today announced its results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009.

Third Quarter 2009:

Revenue

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2009 increased by 6% to $2,889 million (10% at constant currency) compared to the third quarter of 2008. Organic revenue growth worldwide was 8%. Dialysis Services revenue grew by 8% to $2,147 million (10% at constant currency) in the third quarter of 2009. Dialysis Product revenue increased by 2% to $742 million (an increase of 8% at constant currency) in the same period.

North America revenue increased by 10% to $1,950 million. Organic revenue growth was 8%. Dialysis Services revenue grew by 10% to $1,741 million. Average revenue per treatment for the U.S. clinics increased to $348 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $333 for the same quarter in 2008 and $344 for the second quarter of 2009. This development was mainly based on reimbursement increases and increased utilization of pharmaceuticals. Dialysis Product revenue increased by 14% to $209 million and was led by pharmaceutical sales, especially of the newly licensed intravenous iron products.

International revenue remained nearly unchanged at $939 million, compared to the third quarter of 2008. Based on constant currency, revenue grew by 9%. Organic revenue growth was 7%. Dialysis Services revenue was $406 million, an increase of 2% (+12% at constant currency). Dialysis Product revenue decreased by 2% to $533 million. Product sales grew by 6% based on constant currencies, led by increased pharmaceutical sales and sales of dialyzers.

Earnings

Operating income (EBIT) increased by 7% to $451 million compared to $422 million in the third quarter of 2008, resulting in an operating margin of 15.6%, equal to the operating margin for the third quarter of 2008. Compared to the second quarter of 2009 this represents a 50 basis points improvement. The third quarter operating margin was favorably impacted by an increase in revenue per treatment, an excellent cost management in the U.S. and a decrease in bad debt expenses. The operating margin development was negatively influenced by increased prices for pharmaceuticals, the impact of the launch of a generic version of PhosLo(R) in the U.S. market and unfavorable exchange rate effects in the International segment.

In North America, the operating margin was unchanged at 16.7%, as in the third quarter of 2008. The margin was favorably impacted by an increase in revenue per treatment, including commercial payor revenue, higher utilization of EPO and Medicare reimbursement increases, an excellent cost management in the U.S. and a decrease in bad debt expenses thanks to higher cash collections on receivables. This was offset by cost increases for pharmaceuticals related to both price and utilization, as well as the impact of the launch of a generic version of PhosLo(R) in the U.S. market and increased depreciation expense.

In the International segment, the operating margin increased by 60 basis points to 16.7% due to lower production costs resulting from lower prices for raw material and energy as well as economies of scale and lower bad debt expenses, which was partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rate effects.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2009 was $75 million compared to $87 million in the same quarter of 2008, mainly due to lower short-term interest rates.

Income tax expense was $131 million for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $120 million in the third quarter of 2008, reflecting effective tax rates of 35.0% and 35.7%, respectively.

Net income attributable to FMC AG & Co. KGaA for the third quarter of 2009 was $225 million, an increase of 9%.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2009 rose by 9% to $0.76 per ordinary share compared to $0.69 for the third quarter of 2008. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2009 was approximately 298.3 million shares compared to 297.2 million shares for the third quarter of 2008. The increase in shares outstanding resulted from stock option exercises in the past twelve months.

Cash Flow

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company generated $443 million in cash from operations, an increase of 41% compared to the third quarter of 2008 and representing approximately 15% of revenue. The cash flow performance was positively influenced by increased earnings and a favorable development of the Days Sales Outstanding.

A total of $139 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions was $304 million compared to $155 million in the third quarter of 2008. A total of $26 million in cash was used for acquisitions net of divestitures. Free Cash Flow after acquisitions and divestitures was $278 million compared to $116 million in the third quarter of last year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009:

Revenue and Earnings

Net revenue was $8,212 million, up 4% from the first nine months of 2008. At constant currency, net revenue rose 9%. Organic growth was 8% in the first nine months of 2009.

Operating income (EBIT) increased by 2% to $1,265 million compared to $1,240 million in the first nine months of 2008, resulting in an operating margin of 15.4% compared to 15.7% for the first nine months of 2008. This development was mainly due to higher personnel expenses, price increases for pharmaceuticals including Heparin as well as the impact of the launch of a generic version of PhosLo(R) in the U.S. market. These effects were partially offset by a strong performance of the dialysis product business, increased commercial payor revenue as well as the effect of cost control measures.

Net interest expense for the first nine months of 2009 was $225 million compared to $252 million in the same period of 2008, mainly due to lower short-term interest rates.

Income tax expense was $345 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared to $357 million in the same period in 2008, reflecting effective tax rates of 33.2% and 36.1%, respectively. Tax expense was positively impacted by a non-recurring revaluation of a tax claim recorded in the second quarter of 2009.

For the first nine months of 2009, net income attributable to FMC AG & Co. KGaA was $645 million, up 7% from the first nine months of 2008.

Earnings per ordinary share rose by 6% to $2.16. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the first nine months of 2009 was approximately 298.0 million.

Cash Flow

Cash from operations during the first nine months of 2009 was $880 million compared to $716 million for the same period in 2008, representing approximately 11% of revenue. The cash flow generation benefited from increased earnings and the favorable development of the Days Sales Outstanding.

A total of $388 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions for the first nine months of 2009 was $492 million compared to $223 million in the same period in 2008. A total of $57 million in cash was used for acquisitions net of divestitures. Free Cash Flow after acquisitions and divestitures was $435 million compared to $93 million in the first nine months of last year.

Ben Lipps, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care, said: "We are very pleased with our results in the third quarter of 2009, which reflects an excellent performance by all regions.
