Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA (the Company or FMC AG & Co. KGaA; Frankfurt Stock Exchange: FME / New York Stock Exchange: FMS), the world’s largest provider of dialysis products and services, today announced its results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2010.

3rdQuarter 2010:

Revenue

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 6% to $3,058 million (+7% at constant currency) compared to the third quarter of 2009. Organic revenue growth worldwide was 6%. Dialysis services revenue grew by 8% to $2,321 million (+9% at constant currency) in the third quarter of 2010. Dialysis product revenue decreased by 1% to $737 million and increased by 3% at constant currency in the same period.

North America revenue increased by 6% to $2,071 million. Organic revenue growth was 6%. Dialysis services revenue grew by 7% to $1,863 million. Average revenue per treatment for U.S. clinics increased to $359 in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $348 for the same quarter in 2009 and $356 for the second quarter of 2010. This development was attributable principally to reimbursement increases. Dialysis product revenue slightly decreased from $209 million in the third quarter of 2009 to $208 million in the third quarter of 2010. Sales performance was impacted favorably by higher sales of bloodlines and machines as well as higher product sales in the home therapy market. This was offset by changes in the dialysis products mix and lower Medicare average selling prices (ASP) for the intravenous iron product Venofer®.

International revenue increased by 5% to $987 million. Based on constant currency, revenue grew by 9%. Organic revenue growth was 5%. Dialysis services revenue was $458 million, an increase of 13% (+17% at constant currency). Dialysis product revenue decreased by 1% to $529 million compared to the corresponding figure last year and increased by 4% at constant currency, led by increased sales of dialyzers, machines and bloodlines as well as products for acute care treatments.

Earnings

Operating income (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2010 increased by 9% to $493 million compared to $451 million in the third quarter of 2009 resulting in an operating margin of 16.1% compared to 15.6% for the corresponding quarter in 2009.

In North America, the operating margin increased from 16.7% to 18.1%. The margin development benefitted primarily from an increase in revenue per treatment as well as the effect of economies of scale.

In the International segment, the operating margin decreased from 16.7% to 15.8% due to lower gross profit margins of acquired clinics in Europe and Asia-Pacific, the impact of Venezuelan hyperinflation and higher bad debt expense. This was partially offset by economies of scale and favorable currency effects.

Net interest expense for the third quarter of 2010 was $70 million compared to $75 million in the comparable quarter of 2009, mainly attributable to lower short-term interest rates.

Income tax expense was $153 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $131 million in the third quarter of 2009, reflecting effective tax rates of 36.2% and 35.0%, respectively. The tax rate for full year 2010 is expected to be between 34.5% and 35.5%.

Net income attributable to FMC AG & Co. KGaA for the third quarter of 2010 was $248 million, an increase of 10% compared to the same quarter of 2009.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2010 rose by 9% to $0.82 per ordinary share compared to $0.76 for the third quarter of 2009. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 301.2 million shares compared to 298.3 million shares for the third quarter of 2009. The increase in shares outstanding resulted from stock option exercises in the past twelve months.

Cash Flow

A total of $121 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions was $263 million compared to $304 million in the third quarter of 2009.

Agreement to acquire Gambro’s worldwide peritoneal dialysis business

On August 26, 2010, Fresenius Medical Care announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire Gambro’s worldwide peritoneal dialysis (PD) business. Gambro decided to prioritize its investments in the hemodialysis field. Fresenius Medical Care is taking advantage of this opportunity to expand its activities in the homecare market, especially in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Completion of the acquisition is still subject to regulatory approvals by the relevant antitrust authorities as well as works council consultations in some jurisdictions.

Extension of credit agreement

On October 1, 2010, Fresenius Medical Care announced successful completion of the upsizing and extension of its senior secured credit facility. The refinancing of the revolving facility and Term Loan A enables the Company to upsize these facilities by $250 million for a total facility of $2.565 billion. The new agreement was extended from March 31, 2011, to March 31, 2013, matching the final maturity of the $1.546 billion Term Loan B. The facilities will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital needs.

Improved Outlook for 2010

Based on the strong operational performance in the first nine months of 2010, the Company improves its outlook for the full year 2010 and now expects net income attributable to FMC AG & Co. KGaA to be between $960 million and $980 million. Previously, the Company expected net income in the range of $950 million to $980 million.

Revenue is still expected to grow to more than $12 billion.

For 2010 the Company expects to spend $550 million to $650 million on capital expenditures and up to $500 million on acquisitions. The debt/EBITDA ratio is expected to be below 2.5 by the end of 2010.

“Given our excellent third quarter results, we have improved our guidance for the full year 2010,” said Ben Lipps, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care. “Our operating performance in North America has continued to develop favorably, and we have seen good treatment growth.
