On February 25, 2025, Fresenius Medical Care AG (the “Company”) issued a Press Release announcing its fourth quarter and full year results for the period ending December 31, 2024. A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and the corresponding financial figures as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The attached Press Release contains non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. To supplement our fourth quarter and full year 2024 consolidated financial results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, we have used non-GAAP financial measures, including (a) EBITDA, or operating income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (b) free cash flow, (c) net leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA) and (d) results presented in constant currency and as adjusted for special items identified in the Press Release and associated tables. These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. In addition, because we have historically reported certain non-GAAP financial measures in our financial results, we believe the inclusion of these non-IFRS financial measures provides consistency and comparability in our financial reporting to prior periods for which these non-GAAP financial measures were previously reported. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for or be considered superior to GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable IFRS financial measures are included in the attached Financial Statements. As the reconciliation of amounts stated in Constant Currency is inherent in the disclosure included in the Press Release, we believe that a separate reconciliation would not provide any additional benefit.

 

The Exhibits attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Bad Homburg, Germany (February 25, 2025) – “Fresenius Medical Care has again delivered against its commitments and we met the top end of our 2024 target to profitably grow our business. We successfully executed against our strategic turnaround and transformation plan, advancing our legacy portfolio optimization and realizing significant FME25 savings ahead of plan. The momentum we have created enables us to further raise our FME25 savings target from EUR 650 million to EUR 750 million”, said Helen Giza, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care AG. “Our continued focus on improving operational performance resulted in meaningful progress in the operating income margin towards our 2025 margin targets. Over the course of the past financial year, both business segments contributed to the positive development.” Giza added: “In Care Delivery, a key milestone was underlying U.S. same market treatment growth remaining positive for the second consecutive quarter and turning positive for the full year. Care Enablement recorded accelerated volume growth alongside continued positive pricing momentum. The strong operating income improvement of Care Enablement is testimony to delivering on our ambitious transformation plan. We are confident in the continued execution of our 2025 strategy. We have set the course to significantly grow earnings, raising the implied operating income margin to around 11 to 12 percent in 2025. I would like to thank our employees for their unwavering commitment in providing high quality of patient care worldwide, every day.”

Execution against the strategic plan translates into strong financial performance and further momentum

 

 

Operational efficiency: In 2024, the FME25 transformation program accelerated its momentum, delivering EUR 221 million additional sustainable savings for the full year 2024, ahead of the upgraded full year target of around EUR 200 million. Accumulated savings of the entire program reached EUR 567 million. Related one-time costs were EUR 180 million in 2024, adding up to EUR 599 million since the start of the program in 2021. The program is unfolding a strong momentum, which allows to raise the target for sustainable annual savings by EUR 100 million to now EUR 750 million by the end of the current year. The Company assumes related one-time costs of EUR 700 million to EUR 750 million for the total FME25 transformation program.

Portfolio Optimization: Fresenius Medical Care continues the execution of its portfolio optimization plan to exit non-core and dilutive assets. During 2024, the exit of clinic operations in multiple markets were announced and, except for Brazil, also closed. Those exits include all Latin American countries, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Türkiye, as well as the divestments of Cura Day Hospitals Group in Australia and select assets of Spectra Laboratories, our U.S. laboratory testing services business. All assets divested during 2024 include 230 facilities, 8,200 employees and around 33,800 dialysis patients. Divestitures closed or held for sale in 2024 negatively impacted revenue by EUR 306 million and resulted in a negative effect on operating income of EUR 288 million in the full year 2024, treated as special items to operating income. As announced, the Company used the proceeds from divestitures to further improve the leverage ratio.

 

Capital Allocation: During 2024, Fresenius Medical Care strictly followed its disciplined financial policy. An increase of 10% in Free Cash Flow after investing activities, mainly due to proceeds from divestitures, was used to further reduce its net financial debt by 9% to EUR 9.8 billion. The corresponding net leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) decreased to 2.9x at the end of 2024, compared to 3.2x at the end of 2023. The Company adheres to its dividend policy of developing dividends in line with the development of net income excluding special items. Consequently, the planned dividend proposal for fiscal year 2024 of EUR 1.44 per share corresponds to an increase by 21% compared to prior year’s dividend.

 

Revenue development driven by robust organic growth1

 

In the fourth quarter 2024, Group revenue increased by 2% to EUR 5,085 million (+2% at constant currency, +7% organic1). Revenue on outlook base2 increased by 5% to EUR 5,069 million compared to prior year. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development by -250 basis points.

 

Care Delivery revenue decreased by 1% to EUR 3,945 million (-1% at constant currency, +6% organic1) and increased by 3% on outlook base2. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development by -370 basis points.

 

In Care Delivery U.S., revenue increased by 1% (+1% at constant currency, +7% organic1) and by 8% on outlook base2. Growth in the U.S. was driven by the value-based care business and an overall increase in treatment volumes, higher reimbursement rates and a favorable payor mix shift, partially offset by the absence, in 2024, of the Tricare Settlement. U.S. same market treatment growth further improved sequentially. Adjusted for the exit from less profitable acute care contracts (-0.1%), underlying U.S. same market treatment growth remained positive (+0.5%) compared to prior year for the second consecutive quarter.

 

In Care Delivery International, revenue decreased by 10% (-10% at constant currency, +4% organic1) and by 17% on outlook base2. This development was driven by divestments realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan (-1,980 basis points), partially offset by organic growth1 and an increase in dialysis days. International same market treatment growth was positive at 1.5%.

 

Page 3/10


 

Care Enablement revenue grew by 11% to EUR 1,537 million (+11% at constant currency, +10% organic1) and by 10% on outlook base2, driven by volume growth in all our geographical regions as well as positive pricing momentum. Volume-based procurement in China developed in line with expectations and was supportive of volume growth, yet a headwind to price development.

 

Within Inter-segment eliminations, revenue for products transferred between the operating segments at fair market value increased by 8% to EUR 397 million (+8% at constant currency)4.

 

In the full year 2024, Group revenue decreased by 1% to EUR 19,336 million (stable at constant currency, +4% organic1). On outlook base2, revenue increased by 2%, in line with the full year outlook. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan impacted the revenue development by -160 basis points. Care Delivery revenue decreased by 2% to EUR 15,275 million (-2% at constant currency, +4% organic1). Care Delivery U.S. grew by 1% (+1% at constant currency, +4% organic1) and Care Delivery International decreased by 15% (-13% at constant currency, +4% organic1). Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development of Care Delivery by -230 basis points and the revenue development of Care Delivery International by -1,230 basis points. Adjusted for the exit from less profitable acute care contracts (-0.2%), underlying U.S. same market treatment growth turned positive at 0.1%. Care Enablement revenue increased by 4% to EUR 5,557 million (+5% at constant currency, +5% organic1). Inter-segment eliminations increased by 2% to EUR 1,496 million (+2% at constant currency)4.

 

Strong operating income growth supported by both segments

 

In the fourth quarter 2024, Group operating income decreased by 39% to EUR 259 million (-39% at constant currency), resulting in a margin2 of 5.1% (Q4 2023: 8.6%). Operating income on outlook base2 increased by 31% to EUR 489 million, resulting in a margin2 of 9.6% (Q4 2023: 7.7%). Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan had a neutral effect on operating income2 margin development in the fourth quarter.

 

Operating income in Care Delivery decreased by 51% to EUR 253 million (-51% at constant currency), resulting in a margin of 6.4% (Q4 2023: 13.0%). Previous year’s quarter included the positive impact of the Tricare settlement in the net amount of EUR 181 million. Operating income on outlook base2 increased by 10%, resulting in a margin2 of 10.7% (Q4 2023: 10.0%). This growth was mainly driven by a lower negative contribution from the value-based care business, positive volume and price effects as well as savings associated with the FME25 program. The positive development was partly offset by the phasing of a consent agreement on certain pharmaceuticals and higher personnel expenses.

Page 4/10


 

Operating income in Care Enablement significantly increased to EUR 71 million (Q4 2023: EUR -42 million), resulting in a margin of 4.6% (Q4 2023: -3.1%). Operating income on outlook base2 grew by more than sixfold compared to prior year, resulting in a margin2 of 7.8% (Q4 2023: 1.3%). This strong increase was driven by positive volume and price effects as well as savings from the FME25 program, compensating inflationary cost increases as well as negative price impacts from volume-based procurement in China.

 

Operating income for Corporate amounted to EUR -57 million (Q4 2023: EUR -44 million). The development includes the negative valuation effects of virtual power purchase agreements (EUR -7 million). Operating income on outlook base2 amounted to EUR -42 million (Q4 2023: EUR -26 million).

 

In the full year 2024, Group operating income increased by 2% to EUR 1,392 million (+3% at constant currency), resulting in a margin of 7.2% (FY 2023: 7.0%). Operating income on outlook base2 increased by 18% to EUR 1,812 million, reaching the upper end of the tightened full year outlook and resulting in a margin of 9.3% (FY 2023: 8.1%). Divestitures realized during the full year were neutral on operating income margin development. In Care Delivery, operating income declined by 22% to EUR 1,190 million (-21% at constant currency), resulting in a margin of 7.8% (FY 2023: 9.7%). Operating income margin on outlook base2 improved to 10.3% (FY 2023: 9.7%). In Care Enablement, operating income significantly increased to EUR 267 million (FY 2023: EUR -67 million), resulting in a margin of 4.8% (Q4 2023: -1.2%). Operating income margin on outlook base2 increased to 6.1% (FY 2023: 2.3%). Operating income for Corporate amounted to EUR -48 million (FY 2023: -67 million).

 

Net income3 in the fourth quarter 2024 decreased by 64% to EUR 67 million (-62% at constant currency). Previous year’s quarter included the positive impact of the Tricare settlement in the net amount of EUR 110 million. Net income on outlook base2 strongly increased by 73%.

 

In the full year 2024, net income3 increased by 8% to EUR 538 million (+9% at constant currency). Net income on outlook base2 increased by 42%.

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) decreased by 64% to EUR 0.23 in the fourth quarter 2024 (-62% at constant currency). EPS on outlook base2 increased by 73% to EUR 0.91.

 

In the full year 2024, EPS increased by 8% to EUR 1.83 (+9% at constant currency). EPS on outlook base2 increased by 42% to EUR 3.11.

 

Lower net financial debt and improved net leverage ratio driven by robust cash flow development

 

Fresenius Medical Care improved operating cash flow by 16% to EUR 832 million (Q4 2023: EUR 719 million) in the fourth quarter 2024, resulting in a margin of 16.4% (Q4 2023: 14.4%). Operating cash flow increased mainly due to a favorable working capital development, which was partially offset by the absence, in 2024, of the Tricare settlement.

 

Page 5/10


 

In the full year 2024, operating cashflow decreased by 9% to EUR 2,386 million (FY 2023: EUR 2,629 million), resulting in a margin of 12.3% (FY 2023: 13.5%). The decline was mainly driven by a negative impact from the phasing of dividend payments received from equity method investments and the absence, in 2024, of the Tricare settlement.

 

Free cash flow5 increased by 25% to EUR 599 million in the fourth quarter (Q4 2023:
EUR 480 million), resulting in a margin of 11.8% (Q4 2023: 9.6%). In the full year 2024, free cash flow decreased by 13% to EUR 1,701 million (FY 2023: EUR 1,960 million), resulting in a margin of 8.8% (FY 2023: 10.1%).

 

Total net debt and lease liabilities were further reduced to EUR 9,803 million (Q4 2023: EUR 10,760 million). The net leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) improved from 3.2x in Q4 2023 to 2.9x in Q4 2024.

 

Patients, clinics and employees

 

As of December 31, 2024, Fresenius Medical Care treated 299,352 patients in 3,675 dialysis clinics worldwide and had 111,513 employees (headcount) globally, compared to 119,845 employees as of December 31, 2023.

cc = constant currency. Changes in revenue, operating income and net income attributable to shareholders of FME AG include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We calculate and present these financial measures using both IFRS Accounting Standards and at constant exchange rates to show changes in these metrics and other items without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under IFRS Accounting Standards, amounts received in local (non-euro) currency are translated into euro at the average exchange rate for the period presented. Once we translate the local currency for the constant currency, we then calculate the change, as a percentage, of the current period using the prior period exchange rates versus the prior period. The single quarter results are calculated as the variance between the current year- to-date results less the preceding quarter’s year-to-date which makes the single quarter subject to further foreign exchange fluctuation. This resulting percentage is a non-IFRS measure referring to a change as a percentage at constant currency. These currency-adjusted financial measures are identifiable by the designated term “Constant Currency”.
