On August 5, 2025, Fresenius Medical Care AG (the “Company”) issued a Press Release announcing its second quarter results for the period ending June 30, 2025. 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 second quarter 2025 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.

Fresenius Medical Care delivers strong organic revenue growth and double-digit operating income growth in the second quarter of 2025

 

Strong organic revenue growth1 of 7% driven by all operating segments

 

Stable U.S. same market treatment development driven by accelerating patient inflow

 

FME25+ savings of EUR 58 million contributed to earnings

 

Operating income2 grew by 13% at constant currency, further driving margin expansion

 

Stable reported operating income and 20% increase in reported net income3

 

Operating cash flow improved strongly by 75%, net leverage ratio improved to 2.7x

 

FY 2025 outlook confirmed

 

First tranche of announced share buyback to be initiated in August

 

Bad Homburg, Germany (August 5, 2025) – “In the second quarter of 2025, we further improved our operational performance as strong organic revenue growth and double-digit operating income growth put us fully on track to deliver our full year 2025 financial outlook”, said Helen Giza, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care AG. “Organic revenue growth of 7% was supported by all operating segments. The overall phasing of earnings in the first half of the year developed in line with our planning. Strong profitability gains in Care Enablement led to double-digit operating income growth. Care Delivery also drove improvements in operating income and margin, despite flat U.S. volume development. We remain encouraged by the strong and accelerating momentum in patient referrals that continued in the second quarter. However, this positive development in patient inflow was offset by higher-than-expected patient outflow driven by continued elevated mortality and a greater number of missed treatments following the severe flu season in the first months of the year. In the second half of the year, we expect to realize further significant operational and financial improvements.” Giza added: “Reflecting our confidence and the strong cash generation, we are about to initiate the first tranche of the announced share buyback in August.”

Strategic execution on track

 

During the second quarter of 2025, the FME25+ transformation program continued its positive momentum, delivering EUR 58 million additional sustainable savings while related one-time costs, treated as special items, amounted to EUR 53 million. The Company confirms its full year FME25+ target of around EUR 180 million additional annual savings, totaling to EUR 1,050 million by year end 2027. The Company assumes related one-time costs of EUR 100 million to 150 million in 2025 and EUR 1,000 million to 1,050 million for the total program.

 

The Company continues the execution of its portfolio optimization plan to exit non-core and margin-dilutive assets. Special items associated with portfolio optimization amounted to negative EUR 6 million in the second quarter.

 

All transactions that were realized as part of Fresenius Medical Care’s portfolio optimization plan in 2024 are estimated to negatively impact full year 2025 Group revenue growth by around one percent. Related costs will be treated as special items in operating income.

 

As part of the new capital allocation framework, as presented at its recent Capital Markets Day, Fresenius Medical Care commits to return excess capital to shareholders. The Company announced an initial share buyback of EUR 1 billion within two years. The Company intends to initiate the first tranche of the program in August.

Organic revenue growth1 across all segments

 

In the second quarter 2025, Group revenue increased by 1% (+5% at constant currency, +7% organic1) to EUR 4,792 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development by -110 basis points.

 

Care Delivery revenue decreased by 3% (+1% at constant currency, +4% organic1) to EUR 3,381 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development by -190 basis points.

 

In Care Delivery U.S., revenue decreased by 2% (+3% at constant currency, +3% organic1) to EUR 2,817 million. Reimbursement rate increases and a favorable payor mix development had a positive impact while exchange rates developed unfavorably. The severe flu season in the U.S. in the first months of the year resulted in significantly increased mortality compared to the elevated mortality level in the prior year. This impacted the treatment numbers in the second quarter and for the remainder of the year. The effect was partially offset in the second quarter by an accelerated number of patient new starts. Therefore, U.S. same market treatment growth came in flat year-on-year.

 

In Care Delivery International, revenue decreased by 8% (-8% at constant currency, +5% organic1) to EUR 564 million. The effect of closed or sold operations, mainly related to portfolio optimization, were partially offset by organic growth1. Same market treatment growth amounted to +1.7%.

 

Fresenius Medical Care now reports Value-Based Care, previously part of Care Delivery, as a standalone segment. The new segmentation reflects the growing importance of this business and the Company’s clear commitment towards enhancing financial reporting transparency. Value-Based Care revenue grew by 22% (+28% at constant currency, +28% organic1) to EUR 506 million, mainly driven by significantly higher number of member months due to contract expansion, while exchange rates developed unfavorably.

 

Care Enablement revenue declined by 1% (+3% at constant currency, +3% organic1) to EUR 1,348 million. Volume growth and continued positive pricing momentum was offset by unfavorable exchange rate effects.

 

Within Inter-segment eliminations4, revenue for services provided and products transferred between the operating segments at fair market value came in 10% below prior year at negative EUR 443 million (-6% at constant currency). In line with the new segment reporting, services provided by the Care Delivery segment for patients managed under the Value-Based Care segment are now being included within inter-segment eliminations.

 

 

4 The Company transfers products from the Care Enablement segment to the Care Delivery segment at fair market value. Services provided by the Care Delivery segment for patients managed under the Value-Based Care segment are also provided at fair market value. The associated internal revenues and expenses and all other consolidation of transactions are included within “Inter-segment eliminations”.

In the first half 2025, Group revenue increased by 2% (+3% at constant currency, +6% organic¹) to EUR 9,673 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan impacted the revenue development by -190 basis points. Care Delivery revenue decreased by 2% (-1% at constant currency, +3% organic1) to EUR 6,828 million, with Care Delivery U.S. growing by 1% (+2% at constant currency, +2% organic1) to EUR 5,709 million and Care Delivery International decreasing by 14% (-14% at constant currency, +5% organic1) to EUR 1,119 million. Divestitures realized as part of the portfolio optimization plan affected the revenue development of Care Delivery by -300 basis points and the revenue development of Care Delivery International by -1,600 basis points. U.S. same market treatment growth came in flat while International same market treatment growth improved to 2.1%. Value-Based Care revenue increased by 24% (+25% at constant currency, +25% organic1) to EUR 1,035 million. Care Enablement revenue increased by 2% (+4% at constant currency, +4% organic1) to EUR 2,715 million. Inter-segment eliminations decreased by 7% (-6% at constant currency) to a deduction of EUR 905 million.

 

Double-digit operating income growth and further margin expansion

 

In the second quarter 2025, Group Operating income remained stable (+3% at constant currency) at EUR 425 million, resulting in a margin of 8.9% (Q2 2024: 8.9%). Operating income excluding special items increased by 9% (+13% at constant currency) to EUR 476 million, resulting in a margin2 of 9.9% (Q2 2024: 9.1%). Divestitures realized during the second quarter were neutral on operating income margin development.

 

Operating income in Care Delivery increased by 3% (+9% at constant currency) to EUR 346 million, resulting in a margin of 10.2% (Q2 2024: 9.6%). Operating income excluding special items came in flat (+5% at constant currency) at EUR 378 million, resulting in a margin2 of 11.2% (Q2 2024: 10.9%). Compared to previous year, operating income development was driven by positive price effects, the impact from phosphate binders, and savings from the FME25+ program. The development was negatively impacted by higher personnel expenses due to planned merit increases and unfavorable medical benefit costs as well as other inflationary cost increases.

 

Operating income in Value-Based Care amounted to a loss of EUR 9 million, compared to a loss of EUR 6 million in the prior year, resulting in a margin of -1.7% (Q2 2024: -1.5%). Identically, operating income excluding special items amounted to a loss of EUR 9 million, compared to a loss of EUR 6 million in the prior year, resulting in a margin2 of -1.7% (Q2 2024: -1.5%). The development was mainly driven by an unfavorable savings rate and inflation, while the effect from an increase in member months contributed positively.

 

Operating income in Care Enablement increased by 36% (+39% at constant currency) to EUR 89 million, resulting in a margin of 6.6% (Q2 2024: 4.8%). Operating income excluding special items significantly increased by 76% (+79% at constant currency) to EUR 117 million, resulting in a margin2 of 8.7% (Q2 2024: 4.9%). The improvement compared to the previous year’s quarter was mainly driven by globally higher volumes and positive pricing developments as well as savings from the FME25+ program. These positive effects were partially offset by inflationary cost increases, which developed in line with expectations.

Operating income for Corporate amounted to EUR 7 million (Q2 2024: EUR 36 million). Humacyte remeasurements, treated as special items in the Corporate line, amounted to EUR 10 million and virtual power purchase agreements contributed EUR 15 million. Operating income excluding special items amounted to a loss of EUR 2 million (Q2 2024: EUR 5 million).

In Care Delivery, operating income increased by 33% (+34% at constant currency) to EUR 666 million, resulting in a margin of 9.8% (H1 2024: 7.2%). Operating income excluding special items increased by 4% (+5% at constant currency) to EUR 734 million, resulting in a margin2 of 10.7% (H1 2024: 10.1%).

The operating cash flow development was mainly driven by a favorable working capital development and phasing of federal income tax payments in the U.S. In the first half 2025, operating cashflow improved by 65% to EUR 938 million (H1 2024: EUR 570 million), resulting in a margin of 9.7% (H1 2024: 6.0%).

The associated internal revenues and expenses and all other consolidation of transactions are included within “Inter-segment eliminations”.

 

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".
