Bad Homburg, Germany - 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 second quarter and first half of 2009.
Second Quarter 2009:
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased by 4% to $2,764 million (9% at constant currency) compared to the second quarter of 2008. Organic revenue growth worldwide was 8%. Dialysis Services revenue grew by 7% to $2,054 million (10% at constant currency) in the second quarter of 2009. Dialysis Product revenue decreased by 4% to $710 million (an increase of 7% at constant currency) in the same period.
North America revenue increased by 9% to $1,876 million. Dialysis Services revenue grew by 9% to $1,677 million. Average revenue per treatment for the U.S. clinics was $344 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $327 for the same quarter in 2008 and $338 for the first quarter of 2009. This development was based on an increase in commercial payor revenue and slightly increased EPO utilization. Dialysis Product revenue increased by 10% to $199 million and was
led by sales of the newly licensed intravenous iron products.
International revenue was $888 million, a decrease of 7% (an increase of 9% at constant currency) compared to the second quarter of 2008. Dialysis Services revenue was $377 million, a decrease of 4% (an increase of 13% at constant currency). Dialysis Product revenue decreased by 9% to $510 million. Product sales grew by 6% based on constant currencies, led by increased pharmaceutical and dialysis machine sales and sales of products for acute care
Operating income (EBIT) decreased partially due to currency translation effects by 3% to $418 million compared to $429 million in the second quarter of 2008 resulting in an operating margin of 15.1% compared to 16.1% for the second quarter of 2008.
In North America, the operating margin decreased by 100 basis points from 16.9% to 15.9% in the second quarter of 2009, primarily 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 in the U.S. market in October 2008. These effects were partially offset by a strong performance of the dialysis product business, increased commercial payor revenue as well
as the effect of economies of scale from the revenue growth.
In the International segment, the operating margin decreased by 20 basis points to 17.3% due to unfavorable foreign exchange transaction effects in connection with the purchase of products produced in Europe and Japan coupled with the appreciation of the Euro and Yen against local currencies as well as higher depreciation as a result of increased investment in new production facilities, partially offset by cost savings.
Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $76 million compared to $82 million in the same quarter of 2008. This positive development was mainly attributable to lower short-term interest rates.
Income tax expense was $103 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $126 million in the second quarter of 2008, reflecting effective tax rates of 30.2% and 36.2%, respectively. Tax expense was positively impacted by a non-recurring revaluation of a tax claim.
Net income attributable to FMC AG & Co. KGaA for the second quarter of 2009 was $221 million, an increase of 5%.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter of 2009 rose by 4% to $0.74 per ordinary share compared to $0.71 for the second quarter of 2008. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2009 was approximately 298.0 million shares compared to 296.7 million shares for the second quarter of 2008. The increase in shares outstanding resulted from stock option exercises in the past twelve months.
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company generated $282 million in cash from operations, an increase of 35% compared to the second quarter of 2008 and representing approximately 10% of revenue. The cash flow performance was positively influenced by a favorable development of the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), especially in North America.
A total of $139 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions was $143 million compared to $30 million in the second quarter of 2008. A total of $ 5 million in cash was generated from divestitures net of acquisitions. Free Cash Flow after acquisitions and divestitures was $148 million compared to a negative $28 million in the second quarter of last year.

This development was 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 in the U.S. market in October
2008. These effects were partially offset by a strong performance of the dialysis product business, increased commercial payor revenue as well as the effect of economies of scale from the revenue growth.
Net interest expense for the first six months of 2009 was $149 million compared to $165 million in the same period of 2008. This positive development was mainly attributable to lower short-term interest rates.
Income tax expense was $214 million in the first half of 2009 compared to $237 million in the same period in 2008, reflecting effective tax rates of 32.2% and 36.3%, respectively. Tax expense was positively impacted by a non-recurring revaluation of a tax claim.

In the first six months of 2009, earnings per ordinary share rose 5% to $1.41. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the first half of 2009 was approximately 297.9 million.
Cash from operations during the first six months of 2009 was $437 million compared to $401 million for the same period in 2008, representing approximately 8% of revenue. The cash flow generation benefited from the favorable development of the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), especially in North America.
A total of $249 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions for the first six months of 2009 was $188 million compared to $69 million in the same period in 2008.

Ben Lipps, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care, commented: "Our organic growth rate remained at an excellent 8% in the second quarter 2009, driven by the strong performance of newly launched products and steadily increasing demand for our high-quality dialysis services. In addition, we continued to see improvements in quality as evidenced by a reduction in hospitalization days in the U.S. that clearly benefit the patients and payors. We also
continued to advance proven therapy approaches while planning for the likely healthcare reform in the U.S. Given the emerging pay-for-performance concepts in dialysis services, we are very well prepared to realize further growth well into the future. We confirm our guidance for the full year."
