FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Management's Discussion and Analysis

       Since 1996, Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), annual and interim reports containing Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), using the U.S. dollar as our reporting currency. Since 2007, Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA has also been required by German and European law to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union. As of January 1, 2017, the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in our quarterly reports on 6-K and our Annual Report on 20-F will be prepared solely in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), using the euro as our reporting currency, and we have discontinued publishing U.S. GAAP financial information as of the end of 2016. At June 30, 2017, there were no IFRS or International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations as endorsed by the European Union relevant for interim reporting that differed from IFRS as issued by the IASB. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and our subsidiaries in conjunction with our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report, the disclosures and discussions in our IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 as well as historical financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS for the years 2012 through 2015. These documents are available on our website.

       In this report, "FMC-AG & Co. KGaA," or the "Company," "we," "us" or "our" refers to the Company or the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, as the context requires. The term "North America Segment" refers to our North America operating segment; the term "EMEA Segment" refers to the Europe, Middle East and Africa operating segment, the term "Asia-Pacific Segment" refers to our Asia-Pacific operating segment, and the term "Latin America Segment" refers to our Latin America operating segment. The term "Corporate" includes certain headquarters' overhead charges, including accounting and finance, centrally managed production, asset management, quality management, procurement and research and development. The term "Constant Currency" or at "Constant Exchange Rates" means that we have translated local currency revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items for the current reporting period into euro using the prior year exchange rates to ensure a comparable analysis without effect from exchange rate fluctuations on translation, as described below under "Financial Condition and Results of Operations – II. Discussion of Measures – Non-IFRS Measures – Constant Currency."

Forward-looking Statements

       This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). When used in this report, the words "outlook," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated, and future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, could differ materially from those set forth in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained elsewhere in this report. We have based these forward-looking statements on current estimates and assumptions made to the best of our knowledge. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause actual results, including our financial condition and profitability, to differ materially positively or negatively relative to the results expressly or implicitly described in or suggested by these statements. Moreover, forward-looking estimates or predictions derived from third parties' studies or

information may prove to be inaccurate. Consequently, we cannot give any assurance regarding the future accuracy of the opinions set forth in this report or the actual occurrence of the projected developments described herein. In addition, even if our future results meet the expectations expressed here, those results may not be indicative of our performance in future periods.

       These risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including associated costs, could cause actual results to differ from our projected results include, among others, the following:

    changes in governmental and commercial insurer reimbursement for our complete products and services portfolio, including the United States ("U.S.") Medicare reimbursement system for dialysis and other health care services, including potentially significant changes that could be enacted due to the announced intention of the Trump administration to repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act;

    the outcome of government and internal investigations as well as litigation;

    risks relating to compliance with current and future government regulations applicable to our business including, in the U.S., the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, the Stark Law, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and outside the U.S., the EU Medical Device Directive, the two invoice policy and the Tendering and Bidding Law in China and other related local legislation as well as other comparable regulatory regimes in many of the more than 120 countries in which we supply health care services and/or products;

    the influence of commercial insurers and managed care organizations, including efforts by these organizations to manage costs by limiting healthcare benefits, reducing provider reimbursement and/or restricting options for patient funding of health insurance premiums;

    the impact of health care, tax and trade law reforms and regulation, including those proposed by the Trump administration in the U.S.;

    product liability risks;

    risks relating to our ability to continue to make acquisitions;

    risks relating to our ability to attract and retain skilled employees, including shortages of skilled clinical personnel;

    the impact of currency fluctuations;

    potential impairment in the Latin America Segment due to the increase in the cost of capital for the value of those assets;

    the United Kingdom initiation, on March 29, 2017, of its withdrawal from the European Union and its possible effects on the tax, tax treaty, currency, operational, legal and regulatory regimes to which our businesses in the region are subject, as well as the present uncertainty regarding these and related issues;

    our ability to protect our information technology systems against cyber security attacks or prevent other data privacy or security breaches;

    changes in utilization patterns for pharmaceuticals and in our costs of purchasing pharmaceuticals;

    introduction of generic or new pharmaceuticals that compete with our pharmaceutical products;

    launch of new technology that competes with our medical equipment and device businesses;

    changes in raw material and energy costs or the inability to procure raw materials;

    collectability of our receivables, which depends primarily on the efficacy of our billing practices and the financial stability and liquidity of our governmental and commercial payors;

    our ability to achieve cost savings in various health care risk management programs in which we participate or intend to participate; and

    the greater size, market power, experience and product offerings of certain competitors in certain geographic regions and business lines.

       Important factors that could contribute to such differences are noted in "Financial Condition and Results of Operations – I. Overview" below, in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), "Commitments and Contingencies" included in this report, in Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, "Commitments and Contingencies" included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, and under "Risk Factors," "Business Overview," "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects," and elsewhere in that report.

       Our business is also subject to other risks and uncertainties that we describe from time to time in our public filings. Developments in any of these areas could cause our results to differ materially from the results that we or others have projected or may project.

       Our reported financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that are the basis of our financial statements. The actual accounting policies, the judgments made in the selection and application of these policies as well as the sensitivities of reported results to changes in accounting policies, assumptions and estimates are factors to be considered along with our financial statements and the discussion under "Financial Condition and Results of Operations – III. Results of Operations financial position and net assets – Results of operations" below. As of January 1, 2017, we migrated to reporting in accordance with IASB IFRS and discontinued preparing U.S. GAAP financial information. Please refer to our significant and critical accounting policies and estimates in Note 1 "The Company, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 2 "Discretionary Decisions and Sources of Estimation Uncertainties" in our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, as adopted in the European Union, for the year ended December 31, 2016. Those Consolidated Financial Statements are available on our website and have not been filed with the SEC.

       Rounding adjustments applied to individual numbers and percentages shown in this and other reports may result in these figures differing immaterially from their absolute values.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

I. Overview

       We are the world's largest kidney dialysis company, based on publicly reported sales and number of patients treated. We provide dialysis care and related services to persons who suffer from end stage renal disease ("ESRD") as well as other health care services. We develop and manufacture a wide variety of health care products, which includes both dialysis and non-dialysis products. Our dialysis products include dialysis machines, water treatment systems and disposable products while our non-dialysis products include acute cardiopulmonary and apheresis products. We sell our health care products to customers in more than 120 countries and we also use them in our own health care service operations. Our dialysis business is therefore vertically integrated. We describe certain other health care services that we provide in our North America and Asia-Pacific segments as "Care Coordination." Care Coordination currently includes, but is not limited to, coordinated delivery of pharmacy services, vascular, cardiovascular and endovascular specialty services, non-dialysis laboratory testing services, physician nephrology and cardiology services, health plan services, ambulatory surgery center services and urgent care services. Care Coordination also includes the coordinated delivery of emergency, intensivist and hospitalist physician services as well as transitional care which we refer to as "hospital related physician services." All of these Care Coordination

services together with dialysis care and related services represent our health care services. We estimated the volume of the global dialysis market was approximately €68 billion in 2016. Due to the complexity and evolving nature of care coordination services, we are currently unable to estimate the global volume of this market. Dialysis patient growth results from factors such as the aging population and increased life expectancies; shortage of donor organs for kidney transplants; increasing incidence of kidney disease and better treatment of and survival of patients with diabetes, hypertension and other illnesses, which frequently lead to the onset of chronic kidney disease; improvements in treatment quality, new pharmaceuticals and product technologies, which prolong patient life; and improving standards of living in developing countries, which make life-saving dialysis treatment available. We are also engaged with entities, in which we have ownership of less than 100%, to fund different areas of research.

       As a global company delivering health care services and products, we face the challenge of addressing the needs of a wide variety of stakeholders, such as patients, customers, payors, regulators and legislators in many different economic environments and health care systems. In general, government-funded programs (in some countries in coordination with private insurers) pay for certain health care items and services provided to their citizens. Not all health care systems provide for dialysis treatment. Therefore, the reimbursement systems and ancillary services utilization environment in various countries significantly influence our business.

Premium Assistance Programs

       On August 18, 2016, CMS issued a request for information ("RFI") seeking public comment on concerns about providers' steering patients inappropriately to individual plans offered on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act individual health insurance market. We and other dialysis providers, commercial insurers and other industry participants responded to the RFI, and in that response, we reported that we do not engage in such steering. On January 3, 2017, we received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts inquiring into our interactions and relationships with the American Kidney Fund ("AKF" or "the Fund"), including our charitable contributions to the Fund and the Fund's financial assistance to patients for insurance premiums. On December 14, 2016, CMS published an Interim Final Rule ("IFR") titled "Medicare Program; Conditions for Coverage for End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities – Third Party Payment" that would amend the Conditions for Coverage for dialysis providers, like Fresenius Medical Care Holdings ("FMCH"). The IFR would have effectively enabled insurers to reject premium payments made by patients who received grants for individual market coverage from the AKF and therefore, could have resulted in those patients losing their individual market health insurance coverage. The loss of individual market coverage for these patients would have a material and adverse impact on our operating results. On January 25, 2017, a federal district court in Texas, responsible for litigation initiated by a patient advocacy group and dialysis providers including FMCH, preliminarily enjoined CMS from implementing the IFR (Dialysis Patient Citizens v. Burwell (E.D. Texas, Sherman Div.)). The preliminary injunction was based on CMS' failure to follow appropriate notice-and-comment procedures in adopting the IFR. The preliminary injunction remains in place in the absence of a contrary ruling by the district or appellate courts. On June 22, 2017, CMS requested a stay of proceedings in the litigation pending further rulemaking concerning the IFR. CMS stated, in support of its request, that it expects to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register and otherwise pursue a notice-and-comment process in the fall of 2017. Plaintiffs in the litigation, including FMCH, consented to the stay, which was granted by the court.

       The operation of charitable assistance programs like that of the AKF is also receiving increased attention by state insurance regulators. The result may be a regulatory framework that differs from state to state. Even in the absence of the IFR or similar administrative actions, insurers are likely to continue efforts to thwart charitable premium assistance to our patients for individual market plans and other insurance coverages. If successful, these efforts would have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

Significant U.S. Reimbursement Developments

       The majority of health care services we provide are paid for by governmental institutions. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 34% of our consolidated revenue is attributable to U.S. federally-funded health care benefit programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, under which reimbursement rates are set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"). Legislative changes could affect Medicare reimbursement rates for a significant portion of the services we provide. To date, while we have generally experienced stable reimbursement globally, the stability of reimbursement in the U.S. has been affected by (i) the implementation of the ESRD prospective payment system ("ESRD PPS") in January 2011, (ii) the U.S. federal government across the board spending cuts in payments to Medicare providers commonly referred to as "U.S. Sequestration," (iii) the reduction to the ESRD PPS rate to account for the decline in utilization of certain drugs and biologicals associated with dialysis pursuant to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 ("ATRA") as subsequently modified under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 ("PAMA") and (iv) CMS's 2016 final rule on the Physician Fee Schedule with material decreases in reimbursement for certain procedures. Please see the broader discussion of these legislative developments below:

    Under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 ("MIPPA"), for patients with Medicare coverage, all ESRD payments for dialysis treatments are made under a single bundled payment rate which provides a fixed payment rate, ESRD PPS, to encompass substantially all goods and services provided during the dialysis treatment. MIPPA further created the ESRD quality incentive program ("QIP") which provides that dialysis facilities that fail to achieve quality standards established by CMS could have payments reduced by up to 2 percent.

    MIPPA also includes a provision for an annual adjustment to the ESRD PPS base rate based on changes in the costs of a "market basket" of certain healthcare items and services, less a productivity adjustment.

    Additionally, as a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011 ("BCA") and subsequent activity in Congress, U.S. Sequestration ($1.2 trillion in across-the-board spending cuts in discretionary programs) took effect on March 1, 2013 and is expected to continue through mid-2024. In particular, a 2% reduction to Medicare payments took effect on April 1, 2013 and continues in force. Spending cuts pursuant to U.S. Sequestration have adversely affected and will continue to adversely affect our revenue, earnings and cash flows.

    In 2014, as mandated by ATRA, CMS issued a final rule for the ESRD PPS, which phased in payment reductions to account for changes in utilization of certain drugs and biologicals that are included in the ESRD PPS, which were subsequently modified by PAMA. These reductions reduced our market basket inflation adjustment by 1.25% in 2016, and will reduce our inflation adjustment by 1.25% in 2017, and 1% in 2018.

    On November 15, 2016, CMS published a final rule that modifies certain payment policies, payment rates, and quality provisions in the Physician Fee Schedule for calendar year 2017. The final rule includes material decreases in the reimbursement rates for many of the procedures performed routinely by Fresenius Vascular Care, now known as "Azura Vascular Care." These reimbursement cuts may have a material adverse impact on our revenue, earnings and cash flows.

    On June 29, 2017, CMS issued the proposed ruling for the ESRD PPS rate for 2018. We and other large dialysis organizations are expected to experience a 0.8% increase in payments under this proposal. The proposed base rate per treatment is $233.31 which represents a 0.8% increase from the 2017 base rate. The 2018 proposed rule reflects a market basket increase of 0.7% (2.2% market basket increase that is partially offset by a 1% reduction under PAMA and a 0.5% multifactor productivity adjustment) and application of the wage index budget-neutrality adjustment factor of 1.000605. The proposed 2018 ESRD PPS rate does not contain any changes to the previous wage index floor of 0.4000.

    The ESRD PPS proposed rule also proposes changes to the ESRD Quality Incentive Program ("QIP"), including for payment years 2019, 2020, and 2021, under which payment incentives are

      made to dialysis facilities to improve the quality of care that they provide. The proposed rule includes updates to the ESRD QIP Extraordinary Circumstances Exception Policy, Performance Score Certificate, National Healthcare Safety Network dialysis event data validation sampling methodology, and quality measures. The proposed rule also requests comments on how to include individuals with acute kidney injuries in the ESRD QIP and the feasibility and appropriateness of accounting for social risk factors in the program.

       There is presently considerable uncertainty regarding possible future changes in health care regulation, including the regulation of reimbursement for dialysis services. See "Risk Factors – We operate in a highly regulated industry such that the potential for legislative reform provides uncertainty and potential threats to our operating models and results" which is included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016.

       On November 6, 2015, CMS published a final rule to update payment policies and rates under the ESRD PPS for renal dialysis services furnished on or after January 1, 2016. In this final rule, CMS clarified that once any non-oral drug in a category previously considered "oral only" is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), such category of drugs will cease to be considered oral only. On July 25, 2017, CMS issued the health care common procedure coding system code for the new injectable or intravenous drug and will include both the oral and any non-oral version of the drug in the ESRD PPS. However, for at least two years after the issuance of the change notice, CMS will pay for both oral and non-oral versions of the drug using a transition drug add-on payment adjustment, such as average sales price plus 6%, or some other mechanism set in accordance with Section 1847A of the Social Security Act. During this transition period, CMS will not pay outlier payments for these drugs, but will collect data reflecting utilization of both the oral and injectable or intravenous forms of the drugs, as well as payment patterns, in order to determine more accurately the appropriate payment rate to be included in the ESRD PPS for these drugs. At the end of this transition period, CMS will add payment for the oral and non-oral versions of the drug into the ESRD PPS through public rulemaking process similar to that used to set annual ESRD PPS rates.

       On February 7, 2017, Amgen Inc. announced that the FDA had approved Parsabiv™, an intravenous calcimimetic for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in adult patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. As such, CMS is expected to follow its regulatory process described above. If CMS fails to make appropriate adjustments to the ESRD PPS rate to reflect the addition of Parsabiv™ and other calcimimetics to the ESRD PPS as outlined in the November 6, 2016 final rule, this development could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

       As a consequence of the pressure to decrease health care costs, government reimbursement rate increases in the U.S. have historically been limited and are expected to continue in this fashion. We have generally experienced stable reimbursement globally, including the balancing of unfavorable reimbursement changes in certain countries with favorable changes in other countries. However, any significant decreases in Medicare or commercial reimbursement rates or patient access to commercial insurance plans could have material adverse effects on our health care services business and, because the demand for dialysis products is affected by Medicare reimbursement, on our products business. To the extent that increases in operating costs that are affected by inflation, such as labor and supply costs, are not fully reflected in a compensating increase in reimbursement rates, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Participation in new Medicare payment arrangements

       Twenty-four of our dialysis organizations participate in CMS's Comprehensive ESRD Care Model (the "Model"), which involves ESRD Seamless Care Organizations, or "ESCOs." This Model seeks to deliver better health outcomes for ESRD patients while lowering Medicare's costs. ESCOs that achieve the

6


Table of Contents


FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

program's minimum quality thresholds and generate reductions in CMS's cost of care above certain thresholds for the ESRD patients covered by the ESCO will receive a share of the cost savings. Our ESCOs also share in the risk of cost increases and are obligated to reimburse CMS for a share of any such increases if actual costs rise above set thresholds. For six of our ESCOs, the Model commenced on October 1, 2015, and for the other eighteen ESCOs, the Model commenced on January 1, 2017. The initial agreement period for all ESCOs participating in the Model lasts through 2018. As originally specified, CMS and an ESCO would then have the option of extending the ESCO's agreement for an additional two years based on the ESCO's performance. CMS relied on authority granted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("ACA") to implement this project. Congress is expected to continue to pursue efforts to repeal or replace the ACA, and the posture of CMS in the Trump administration toward projects of this sort may differ from that of the Obama administration. Such changes may affect the project's future prospects in ways which we cannot predict.

       The Bundled Payments for Care Improvement ("BPCI") initiative is a CMS three-year pilot initiative involving bundled payments for the individual services, including acute inpatient hospital services, physician services, and post-acute services, furnished to Medicare beneficiaries during a single episode of illness or course of treatment. Our majority-owned subsidiary, Sound Inpatient Physicians, Inc. ("Sound"), commenced participation under BPCI in April 2015 in several markets. Under the BPCI, Sound has the ability to receive additional payments from CMS if its physicians are able to deliver quality care at a cost that is lower than certain established benchmarks, but it also has the risk of incurring financial penalties if it is unsuccessful. Should Sound fail to perform as required under its BPCI agreement, CMS may terminate Sound's participation in the BPCI program, in whole or in part. This project was also implemented under ACA authority and is subject to the same caveats and uncertainties noted above with respect to ESCOs.

       We have entered into various arrangements which involve taking risk for the complete care of certain ESRD patients in exchange for set payments. CMS approved our application to offer Medicare Advantage ESRD Chronic Special Needs Plans ("MA-CSNPs") in five states as of January 1, 2017. MA-CSNPs are Medicare Advantage health plans offered by private companies that contract with Medicare to provide patients with Medicare benefits. Enrolment in these plans is limited to special needs individuals with specific severe or disabling chronic conditions, such as ESRD. Our MA-CSNPs will provide services, including Care Coordination services, and receive capitated payments from Medicare for the complete care of enrolled ESRD patients.

       We have also entered into sub-capitation and other shared savings arrangements with certain Medicare Advantage plans under which we assume risk in providing care to the plans' ESRD patients (those patients that develop ESRD while they are plan members) while paid on a per patient per month basis. The 21st Century Cures Act, enacted December 13, 2016, removes the prohibition that previously barred individuals who already have ESRD from enrolling in a Medicare Advantage plan beginning 2021. We anticipate that this provision may present us with expanded business opportunities, but we cannot quantify its impact on our business at this time.

Company Structure

       Our operating segments are the North America Segment, the EMEA Segment, the Asia-Pacific Segment and the Latin America Segment. The operating segments are determined based upon how we manage our businesses with geographical responsibilities. All segments are primarily engaged in providing health care services and the distribution of products and equipment for the treatment of ESRD and other extracorporeal therapies. Our management evaluates each segment using measures that reflect all of the segment's controllable revenues and expenses. With respect to the performance of business operations, our management believes that the most appropriate IFRS measures are revenue, operating income and

7


Table of Contents


FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

operating income margin. We do not include income taxes as we believe this is outside the segments' control. Financing is a corporate function which our segments do not control. Therefore, we do not include interest expense relating to financing as a segment measurement. Similarly, we do not allocate certain costs which relate primarily to certain headquarters' overhead charges, including accounting and finance, because we believe that these costs are also not within the control of the individual segments. Production of products, production asset management, quality management and procurement related to production are centrally managed at Corporate. Our global research and development is also centrally managed at Corporate. These Corporate activities do not fulfill the definition of a segment according to IFRS 8. Products are transferred to the segments at cost; therefore no internal profit is generated. The associated internal revenue for the product transfers and their elimination are recorded as Corporate activities (See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) "Segment and Corporate Information" found elsewhere in this report). Capital expenditures for production are based on the expected demand of the segments and consolidated profitability considerations. In addition, certain revenues, investments and intangible assets, as well as any related expenses, are not allocated to a segment but accounted for as Corporate. Accordingly, all of these items are excluded from our analysis of segment results and are discussed below in the discussion of our consolidated results of operations.

II.   Discussion of Measures

Non-IFRS Measures

       Certain discussions and analyses set out in this report include measures which are not defined by IFRS. We believe this information, along with comparable IFRS measurements, is useful to our investors as it provides a basis for measuring our performance. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed or interpreted as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS. Wherever appropriate and practical, we provide reconciliations to relevant IFRS measures.

Constant Currency

       Changes in revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We use the non-IFRS financial measure at Constant Exchange Rates or Constant Currency in our filings to show changes in our revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items without giving effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under IFRS, 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. This resulting percentage is a non-IFRS measure referring to a change as a percentage at Constant Currency.

       We believe that the non-IFRS financial measure Constant Currency is useful to investors, lenders, and other creditors because such information enables them to gauge the impact of currency fluctuations on our revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items from period to period. However, we also believe that the usefulness of data on Constant Currency period-over-period changes is subject to limitations, particularly if the currency effects that are eliminated constitute a significant element of our revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA or other items and significantly impact our performance. We therefore limit our use of Constant Currency period-over-period changes to a measure for the impact of currency fluctuations on the translation of local currency into euro. We do not evaluate our results and performance without considering both Constant Currency period-over-period changes in non-IFRS revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co.

operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items prepared in accordance with IFRS. We caution the readers of this report to follow a similar approach by considering data on Constant Currency period-over-period changes only in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, changes in revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items prepared in accordance with IFRS. We present the growth rate derived from IFRS measures next to the growth rate derived from non-IFRS measures such as revenue, operating income, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA and other items. As the reconciliation is inherent in the disclosure, we believe that a separate reconciliation would not provide any additional benefit.

Delivered EBIT

       As a result of the significance of noncontrolling interest holders in our operations, we believe a measure that is meaningful to investors is operating income less noncontrolling interests ("Delivered EBIT"). Delivered EBIT approximates the operating income attributable to the shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA. As such, we believe that operating income, or EBIT, is the closest comparable IFRS measure. Below is a table showing the reconciliation of Operating Income to Delivered EBIT for each of our reporting segments:

EBITDA

       EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization expenses) was approximately €1,611 million, 17.9% of revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, and €1,406 million, 17.7% of revenue for the same period of 2016. EBITDA is the basis for determining compliance with certain covenants contained in our Amended 2012 Credit Agreement, euro-denominated notes and the indentures relating to our senior notes. You should not consider EBITDA to be an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with IFRS or to cash flow from operations, investing activities or financing activities. In addition, not all funds depicted by EBITDA are available for management's discretionary use. For example, a substantial portion of such funds are subject to contractual restrictions and functional requirements for debt service, to fund necessary capital expenditures and to meet other commitments from time to time as described in more detail elsewhere in this report. EBITDA, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is calculated as follows:

Debt/EBITDA

       The ratio of debt to EBITDA is a key financial performance indicator used for overseeing the Company. To determine the total debt to EBITDA ratio, financial debt is compared to EBITDA for the last twelve months (adjusted for acquisitions with a purchase price above a $50 million threshold as defined in the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement and non-cash charges). We believe this ratio provides more reliable information regarding the extent to which we are able to meet our payment obligations than considering only the total amount of financial debt. The following table shows the reconciliation of debt to EBITDA ratio as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC")

       ROIC is the ratio of operating income, for the last twelve months, after tax ("Net Operating Profit After Tax" or "NOPAT") to average invested capital of the last five balance sheet dates and expresses how efficiently we allocate the capital under our control or how well we employ our capital with regard to a specific investment project which is presented in the table below. Additionally, the table below presents a reconciliation of average invested capital to the IFRS measure total assets, which we believe to be the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure.

Cash flow measures

       Our consolidated statement of cash flows indicates how we generated and used cash and cash equivalents. When used in conjunction with the other primary financial statements, it provides information that helps us evaluate the changes in our net assets and our financial structure (including our liquidity and solvency). The net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is used to assess whether our business can generate the cash required to make replacement and expansion investments. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities is impacted by the profitability of our business and development of working capital, principally receivables. The financial key performance indicator of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in percentage of revenue shows the percentage of our revenue that is available in terms of financial resources.

       Free cash flow is the cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities after capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment but before acquisitions and investments. The key performance indicator used by management is free cash flow in percentage of revenue. This represents the percentage of revenue that is available for acquisitions, dividends to shareholders, or the reduction of debt financing.

Business Metrics for Care Coordination in our North America Segment

       The measures for our North America Segment discussed below include current and future programs that we will be participating in and will be reflected in the discussion of our business within the North America Segment. Currently, sub-capitation, BPCI, ESCO programs, MA-CSNPs and other shared savings programs are included within the Member Months and Medical Cost Under Management calculations below. In the future, there may be other programs that could be included in the following metrics. These metrics may be developed further in future periods. Note that due to the timing required by CMS to review the BPCI and ESCO program data that we provide, estimates have been used in order to report these metrics in a timely manner.

Member Months Under Medical Cost Management

       Member months under medical cost management is calculated by multiplying the number of members who are included in value-based reimbursement programs, such as Medicare Advantage plans or other value-based programs in the U.S., by the corresponding number of months these members participate in those programs ("Member Months"). In the aforementioned programs, we are assuming the risk of generating savings. The financial results will be recorded in earnings as our performance is determined. The membership offerings within Care Coordination are sub-capitation arrangements, MA-CSNPs, ESCO and BPCI programs as well as other shared savings programs. An increase in patient membership may indicate future earnings or losses as our performance is determined through these managed care programs.

Medical Cost Under Management

       Medical cost under management represent the management of medical costs associated with our patient membership in value-based programs. For ESCO, BPCI and other shared savings programs, this is calculated by multiplying the Member Months in each program by the benchmark of expected medical cost per member per month. The sub-capitation and MA-CSNPs calculation multiplies the premium per member of the program per month by the number of Member Months associated with the plan, as noted above.

Care Coordination Patient Encounters

       Care Coordination patient encounters represents the total patient encounters and procedures conducted by certain of our Care Coordination activities and, we believe, is an indicator of the revenue generated. Specifically, Care Coordination patient encounters is the sum of all encounters and procedures completed during the period by Sound, MedSpring Urgent Care Centers, Azura Vascular Care, and National Cardiovascular Partners, the trade name of Laurus Healthcare L.P., as well as patients in our Fresenius Medical Care Rx Bone Mineral Metabolism ("Rx BMM") program.

III. Results of operations, financial position and net assets

       The following sections summarize our results of operations, financial position and net assets as well as key performance indicators by reporting segment and Corporate for the periods indicated. We prepared the information using a management approach, consistent with the basis and manner in which our management internally disaggregates financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions and evaluating management performance.

       The three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were negatively impacted by the development of the euro against the U.S. dollar. For the respective three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2017, approximately 72% and 73% of revenue and approximately 80% and 81% of operating income were generated in U.S. dollars. In addition, revenue and operating income generated in countries outside the eurozone are subject to currency fluctuations.

       Health care services revenue increased by 11%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care services revenue increased by 9% driven by increases in organic revenue per treatment (3%), growth in same market treatments (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (3%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 4% as a result of growth in same market treatments (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (2%), partially offset by the effect of closed or sold clinics (1%).

       At June 30, 2017, we owned, operated or managed (excluding those managed but not consolidated in the U.S.) 3,690 dialysis clinics compared to 3,504 dialysis clinics at June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we acquired 10 dialysis clinics, opened 31 dialysis clinics and combined or closed 5 clinics. The number of patients treated in dialysis clinics that we own, operate or manage (excluding patients of dialysis clinics managed but not consolidated in the U.S.) increased by 5% to 315,305 at June 30, 2017 from 301,548 at June 30, 2016.

       Health care product revenue increased by 9%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 1% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care product revenue increased by 8%. Dialysis product revenue increased by 8%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 1% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis product revenue increased by 7% due to higher sales of dialyzers, products for acute care treatments, peritoneal dialysis products, renal pharmaceuticals and bloodlines, partially offset by lower sales of machines. Non-dialysis product revenue increased by 71% to €21 million from €12 million with no foreign currency translation effects. The increase of 71% was due to the acquisition of Xenios AG, which operates in the area of acute cardiopulmonary products ("Xenios").

       The decrease period over period in the gross profit margin was 0.2 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points in the current period. The decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the North America Segment, partially offset by increases in the Latin America Segment and the Asia-Pacific Segment. The gross profit margin decrease in the North America Segment was mainly due to higher cost in our pharmacy services business, higher personnel expense, and the impact from lower revenue for vascular services, partially offset by lower costs for health care supplies and earnings recognized from the BPCI initiative for hospital related physician services. The gross profit margin increase in the Latin America Segment was largely driven by reimbursement rate increases that mitigate higher costs for treatments as a result of inflation and favorable foreign currency transaction effects, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from manufacturing. The gross profit margin increase in the Asia-Pacific Segment was due to favorable impacts from business growth in China and manufacturing.

       The increase period over period in the selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of revenue was 1.2 percentage points. There was virtually no effect from foreign currency translation in the current period. The increase was primarily driven by increases in the North America Segment and the EMEA Segment. The increase in the North America Segment was mainly driven by higher personnel expense and increased bad debt expense and the change in fair value of subsidiary stock-based compensation. The increase in the EMEA Segment was largely driven by unfavorable impacts from foreign currency transaction effects and acquisitions as well as pressure on reimbursement in some countries, partially offset by the impact from higher revenue and lower bad debt expense.

       Research and development expenses increased by 3% to €35 million from €34 million. The increase period over period as a percentage of revenue was stable.

       Income from equity method investees increased by 93% to €23 million from €12 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher income from Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd., an entity in which we have ownership of 45%, due to increased revenue from the sale of renal pharmaceuticals.

       The decrease period over period in the operating income margin was 1.2 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points in the current period. The decrease was largely driven by an increase in SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, and decreased gross profit margin, partially offset by an increase in income from equity method investees, as discussed above.

       Delivered EBIT increased by 2%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, delivered EBIT remained stable.

       Net interest expense increased by 5% to €95 million from €90 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the increase of 3% was mainly as a result of debt instruments at lower interest rates, coupled with a higher average debt level.

       Income tax expense increased by 1% to €150 million from €149 million. The effective tax rate decreased to 30.8% from 31.1% for the same period of 2016.

       Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by 2% to €69 million from €68 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests remained stable.

       Net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA increased by 2% to €269 million from €264 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA remained stable. Excluding the effects, of €5 million net of tax from the costs related to the agreement with the United States Departments of Veterans Affairs and Justice for reimbursement for services performed during the period of January 2009 through February 15, 2011 ("VA Agreement"), net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, at Constant Exchange Rates, increased by 2%.

       Basic earnings per share increased by 2%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, basic earnings per share remained stable. The average weighted number of shares outstanding for the period was approximately 306.5 million in 2017 (305.5 million in 2016).

       We employed 112,163 people (full-time equivalents) as of June 30, 2017 compared to 106,556 as of June 30, 2016, an increase of 5%, primarily due to organic growth in our business and acquisitions.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

increased by 4% mainly due to same market treatment growth (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 3% primarily due to same market treatment growth (3%). At June 30, 2017, 193,605 patients (4% increase from June 30, 2016) were being treated in the 2,345 dialysis clinics that we own or operate in the North America Segment, compared to 186,096 patients treated in 2,249 dialysis clinics at June 30, 2016.

       In the U.S., the average revenue per treatment, decreased to $351 (€311 at Constant Exchange Rates) from $352 (€311). The development was mainly attributable to an unfavorable impact from commercial payors, fully offset by foreign currency effects.

       Cost per treatment in the U.S. increased to $283 (€250 at Constant Exchange Rates) from $282 (€250). This development was largely driven by higher personnel expense as well as various other costs such as housekeeping and property, fully offset by lower cost for health care supplies and decreased bad debt expense.

       Health care product revenue increased by 2%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care product revenue remained stable.

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the dialysis operating income margin was 0.2 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage point in the current period. The decrease was driven by higher personnel expense and higher costs such as other supplies and rent expense, partially offset by the positive impact from income attributable to a consent agreement on certain pharmaceuticals, lower costs for health care supplies and lower bad debt expense.

Delivered EBIT

       Dialysis delivered EBIT increased by 6%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis delivered EBIT increased by 3% mainly as the result of increased operating income.


Care Coordination

Revenue

       Care Coordination revenue increased by 32%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination revenue increased by 29% driven by increases in organic revenue growth (19%) and contributions from acquisitions (10%).

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the Care Coordination operating income margin was 2.1 percentage points. There was virtually no effect from foreign currency translation in the current period. The decrease was mainly driven by higher bad debt expense, the change in fair value of subsidiary stock based compensation, the impact from lower revenue for vascular services and increased costs for pharmacy

services, partially offset by earnings recognized from the BPCI initiative for hospital related physician services as well as the impact from the improved margin contributions for laboratory services.

Delivered EBIT

       Care Coordination delivered EBIT decreased by 94%. There were no foreign currency translation effects. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination delivered EBIT decreased by 94% mainly as the result of decreased operating income coupled with increased noncontrolling interest effects.

Care Coordination Business metrics

       The increase in member months under medical cost management was primarily attributable to an increase in our participation in ESCO programs from 6 to 24 ESCOs in 2017 as well as the addition of new payer shared savings and sub-capitation agreements, partially offset by a decrease in BPCI due to our voluntary elimination of certain non-performing risks from our BPCI portfolio. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

       Care Coordination's medical cost under management increased by 51% including foreign currency translation effects of 3%. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination's medical cost under management increased by 48% primarily attributable to an increase in our participation in ESCO programs from 6 to 24 ESCOs in 2017 as well as the addition of new payer shared savings and sub-capitation agreements, partially offset by a decrease in BPCI due to our voluntary elimination of certain non-performing risks from our BPCI portfolio. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

       The increase in patient encounters was primarily driven by increased encounters for hospital related physician services. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

Revenue

       Health care service revenue increased by 6%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 1% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care service revenue increased by 5% as a result of same market treatment growth (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (3%), partially offset by decreases in organic revenue per treatment (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 5% mainly due to same market treatment growth (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (2%). As of June 30, 2017, we had 61,256 patients (5% increase from June 30, 2016) being treated at the 727 dialysis clinics that we own, operate or manage in the EMEA Segment compared to 58,528 patients treated at 700 clinics at June 30, 2016.

       Health care product revenue increased by 8% including a 1% negative impact resulting from foreign exchange currency translation. Dialysis product revenue increased by 6%. with no effect from currency translation on dialysis product revenue. The increase in dialysis product revenue was due to higher sales of peritoneal dialysis products, dialyzers, products for acute care, machines and renal pharmaceuticals. Non-Dialysis product revenue increased by 71% to €21 million from €12 million with no effect from foreign currency translation effects. The increase was due to the acquisition of Xenios.

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the operating income margin was 3.1 percentage points. There was virtually no effect from foreign currency translation in the current period. The decrease was mainly due to unfavorable impacts from foreign currency transaction effects and investments in Xenios as well as pressure on reimbursement in some countries, partially offset by a favorable impact from higher revenue and lower bad debt expense.

Delivered EBIT

       Delivered EBIT decreased by 9% with virtually no impact from foreign exchange currency translation. The decrease at Constant Exchange Rates was primarily due to decreased operating income.

       Key indicators are now provided separately for Dialysis and Care Coordination in the Asia-Pacific Segment due to an acquisition in Australia during the second quarter of 2017. Previously there were immaterial amounts of services performed in Care Coordination within the Asia-Pacific Segment. As such, we have presented our Care Coordination activities in Asia-Pacific starting in 2017 as we are able to appropriately rely on the data collected and presented during the period. For comparative purposes in our 2017 analysis, the Asia-Pacific Segment will be discussed on an overall segment basis. Care Coordination services include ambulant treatment services in day care hospitals where we provide treatment infrastructure, comprehensive and specialized health check-ups, inpatient and outpatient services for dialysis patients, vascular access and other chronic treatment services.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

       Health care product revenue increased by 9%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care product revenue increased by 7%. Dialysis product revenue increased by 8%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis product revenue increased by 6% due to higher sales of dialyzers, products for acute care treatments, renal pharmaceuticals, peritoneal dialysis products and machines. Non-dialysis product revenue increased by 66% to €41 million from €23 million with no foreign currency translation effects. The increase of 66% was due to the acquisition of Xenios.

       The increase period over period in the gross profit margin was 0.9 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points in the current period. The increase primarily reflects an increase in the North America Segment. The gross profit margin increase in the North America Segment was mainly due to the VA Agreement, a favorable impact due to earnings recognized from the BPCI initiative for hospital related physician services, higher revenue from commercial payors, and lower costs for health care supplies, partially offset by higher cost in our pharmacy services business, higher personnel expense and the impact from lower revenue for vascular services.

       The increase period over period in the selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of revenue was 0.8 percentage points. There was virtually no effect from foreign currency translation in the current period. The increase was driven by increases in the North America Segment, the EMEA Segment and the Latin America Segment, partially offset by the favorable impact of varying margins across our four reporting segments as well as a decrease at Corporate. The increase in the North America Segment was mainly driven by higher bad debt expense and higher personnel expense and the change in fair value of subsidiary stock-based compensation, partially offset by the impact from higher revenue resulting from VA Agreement and reimbursement from commercial payors. The increase in the EMEA Segment was due to unfavorable effects from foreign currency transactions and acquisitions as well as pressure on reimbursement in some countries, partially offset by lower bad debt expense. The increase in the Latin America Segment was due to an unfavorable impact from foreign currency transaction effects and higher overhead costs, while reimbursement rate increases mitigated inflationary cost increases in the region. The decrease at Corporate was mainly due to lower legal and consulting expenses related to compliance investigations we are conducting (for further information, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), "Commitments and Contingencies"), partially offset by higher compensation related to share-based payments.

       Research and development expenses decreased by 2% to €67 million from €68 million. The decrease period over period as a percentage of revenue was 0.2 percentage points, largely driven by capitalized development costs, partially offset by the impact from acquisitions and an expanded project portfolio.

       Income from equity method investees increased by 32% to €38 million from €29 million. The increase is driven by higher income from Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd., an entity in which we have ownership of 45%, due to increased revenue from the sale of renal pharmaceuticals.

       The increase period over period in the operating income margin was 0.2 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points in the current period. The increase was largely driven by increased gross profit margin and decreased research and development expenses, as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by increased SG&A, as a percentage of revenue, as discussed above. Excluding the VA Agreement impact of approximately €91 million, the operating income margin decreased 0.7 percentage points to 12.8% from 13.5%, including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points.

       Delivered EBIT increased by 17%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, delivered EBIT increased by 14% largely as a result of increased operating income.

       Net interest expense increased by 1% to €188 million from €186 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the decrease of 1% was largely due the replacement of interest bearing Euro-denominated Senior Notes repaid in 2016 by debt instruments at lower interest rates, partially offset by a higher average debt level.

       Income tax expense increased by 21% to €332 million from €275 million. The effective tax rate increased to 31.7% from 31.2% for the same period of 2016 mainly driven by a lower portion of tax-free income attributable to noncontrolling interests compared to income before taxes as well as higher tax expense related to the VA Agreement, approximately €35 million, as the tax rate in the U.S is higher than the average tax rate outside of the U.S., partially offset by lower taxes for prior years. Excluding the impact from the VA Agreement, the effective tax rate decreased slightly to 31.0% from 31.2% largely driven by lower taxes for prior years, partially offset by a lower portion of tax-free income attributable to noncontrolling interests compared to income before taxes.

       Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by 6% to €138 million from €130 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the increase of 3% was primarily driven by the portion of the VA Agreement reimbursement attributable to clinics in which we have ownership of less than 100%, approximately €2 million, as well as the creation of new clinics in the North America Segment in which we have ownership of less than 100%, partially offset by decreased noncontrolling interest expense related to Care Coordination.

       Net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA increased by 21% to €577 million from €477 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the increase of 19% was driven by the combined effects of the items discussed above. Excluding the impact of the VA Agreement of approximately €54 million, after tax, the net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA increased by 10%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the increase in net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, excluding the VA Agreement, was 8%.

       Basic earnings per share increased by 21%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, the increase of 18% was primarily due to the increase in net income attributable to shareholders of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA described above. The average weighted number of shares outstanding for the period was approximately 306.4 million in 2017 (305.4 million in 2016).

       The following discussions pertain to the North America Segment, the EMEA Segment, the Asia-Pacific Segment and the Latin America Segment and the measures we use to manage these segments.

Dialysis

Revenue

       Dialysis care revenue increased by 10% to €4,793 million from €4,356 million. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis care revenue increased by 7% mainly due to same market treatment growth (3%), an increase related to the VA Agreement, approximately €98 million as of June 30, 2017 (2%), increases in organic revenue per treatment (1%) and contributions from acquisitions (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 3% primarily due to same market treatment growth (3%) and contributions from acquisitions (1%), partially offset by a decrease in dialysis days (1%).

       In the U.S., the average revenue per treatment, excluding the VA Agreement of approximately $7 per treatment, increased to $354 (€317 at Constant Exchange Rates) from $350 (€313). The increase was mainly attributable to a favorable impact from commercial payors.

       Cost per treatment in the U.S. increased to $286 (€257 at Constant Exchange Rates) from $282 (€253). This increase was largely driven by higher personnel expense and various other costs such as housekeeping, administration and depreciation, partially offset by decreased costs for health care supplies and lower bad debt expense.

       Health care product revenue increased by 6%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, heath care product revenue increased by 3% driven by higher sales of peritoneal dialysis products, renal pharmaceuticals, hemodialysis solutions and concentrates as well as dialyzers, partially offset by lower sales of machines.

Operating Income

       The increase period over period in the dialysis operating income margin was 1.4 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.1 percentage points in the current period. The increase was largely driven by the VA Agreement, approximately €98 million, higher revenue from commercial payors and lower costs for health care supplies, partially offset by higher personnel expense. Excluding the VA Agreement, the dialysis operating income margin decreased to 17.4% as compared to 17.5% the prior period.

Delivered EBIT

       Dialysis delivered EBIT increased by 21%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis delivered EBIT increased by 18% mainly as the result of increased operating income, partially offset by increased noncontrolling interests driven by the portion of the VA Agreement reimbursement attributable to clinics in which we have ownership of less than 100%, approximately €2 million, as well as the creation of new clinics in in the North America Segment which we have ownership of less than 100%.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA


Care Coordination

Revenue

       Care Coordination revenue increased by 35%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 4% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination revenue increased by 31% driven by increases in organic revenue growth (23%) and contributions from acquisitions (8%).

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the Care Coordination operating income margin was 2.2 percentage points. There was no effect from foreign currency translation in the current period. The decrease was mainly driven by higher bad debt expense, the impact from lower revenue for vascular services, the change in fair value of subsidiary stock based compensation and increased costs for pharmacy services, partially offset by earnings recognized from the BPCI initiative for hospital related physician services as well as the impact from the improved margin contribution for laboratory services.

Delivered EBIT

       Care Coordination delivered EBIT decreased by 153% to a loss position. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the decrease. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination delivered EBIT decreased by 151% mainly as the result of decreased operating income.

Care Coordination Business metrics

       The increase in member months under medical cost management was primarily attributable to an increase in our participation in ESCO programs from 6 to 24 ESCOs in 2017 as well as the addition of new payer shared savings and sub-capitation agreements, partially offset by a decrease in BPCI due to our voluntary elimination of certain non-performing risks from our BPCI portfolio. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

       Care Coordination's medical cost under management increased by 65%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 5% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, Care Coordination's medical cost under management increased by 60% primarily attributable to an increase in our participation in ESCO programs from 6 to 24 ESCOs in 2017 as well as the addition of new payer shared savings and sub-capitation agreements, partially offset by a decrease in BPCI due to our voluntary elimination of certain non-performing risks from our BPCI portfolio. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

       The increase in patient encounters was primarily driven by increased encounters for hospital related physician services. See note 4 to the table "Key Indicators and Business Metrics for North America Segment," above.

Revenue

       Health care service revenue increased by 8%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 1% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care service revenue increased by 7% as a result of contributions from acquisitions (6%) and same market treatment growth (4%), partially offset by a decrease in dialysis days (1%), the effect of closed or sold clinics (1%) and decreases in organic revenue growth per treatment (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 7% mainly due to contributions from acquisitions (4%) and same market treatment growth (4%), partially offset by the effect of closed or sold clinics (1%).

       Health care product revenue increased by 6% with no foreign currency translation effects. Dialysis product revenue increased by 4% with no foreign currency translation effects. The increase in dialysis product revenue was due to higher sales of dialyzers, peritoneal dialysis products, products for acute care treatments and renal pharmaceuticals, partially offset by lower sales of hemodialysis solutions and concentrates. Non-Dialysis product revenue increased by 66% to €41 million from €23 million with no foreign currency translation effects. The increase was due to the acquisition of Xenios.

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the operating income margin was 2.5 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.2 percentage points in the current period. The decrease was mainly due to unfavorable impacts from investments in Xenios and foreign currency transaction effects as well as pressure on reimbursement in some countries, partially offset by lower bad debt expense.

       Key indicators are now provided separately for Dialysis and Care Coordination in the Asia-Pacific Segment due to an acquisition in Australia during the second quarter of 2017. Previously there were immaterial amounts of services performed in Care Coordination within the Asia-Pacific Segment. As such, we have presented our Care Coordination activities in Asia-Pacific starting in 2017 as we are able to

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

appropriately rely on the data collected and presented during the period. For comparative purposes in our 2017 analysis, the Asia-Pacific Segment will be discussed on an overall segment basis. Care Coordination services include ambulant treatment services in day care hospitals where we provide treatment infrastructure, comprehensive and specialized health check-ups, inpatient and outpatient services for dialysis patients, vascular access and other chronic treatment services.

Revenue

       Health care service revenue increased by 16%. Foreign currency translation had a positive effect of 4%. At Constant Exchange Rates, dialysis care service revenue increased by 12% as a result of contributions from acquisitions (7%), same market treatment growth (4%) and increases in organic revenue growth per treatment (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 8% mainly due to contributions from acquisitions (6%) and same market treatment growth (4%), partially offset by the effect of closed or sold clinics (2%).

       Health care product revenue increased by 14%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care product revenue increased by 12% as a result of increased sales of dialyzers, machines, and products for acute care treatments.

Operating Income

       The increase period over period in the operating income margin was 1.9 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.3 percentage points in the current period. The increase was largely due to a favorable impact from business growth mainly in China, the prior year impact from costs associated with changes in the Management Board and a positive impact from manufacturing, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign currency transaction effects.

Delivered EBIT

       Delivered EBIT increased by 27%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 2% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, delivered EBIT increased by 25% due to increased operating income partially offset by an increase in noncontrolling interests.

Revenue

       Health care service revenue increased by 23%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 3% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care service revenue increased by 20% as a result of increases in organic revenue per treatment (18%), contributions from acquisitions (3%), and same market treatment growth (1%), partially offset by the effect of closed or sold clinics (1%) and a decrease in dialysis days (1%).

       Dialysis treatments increased by 2% mainly due to contributions from acquisitions (3%) and same market treatment growth (1%), partially offset by the effect of closed or sold clinics (1%) and a decrease in dialysis days (1%).

       Health care product revenue increased by 20%. Foreign currency translation effects represented 12% of the increase. At Constant Exchange Rates, health care product revenue increased by 8% primarily driven by higher sales of dialyzers, hemodialysis solutions and concentrates as well as machines, partially offset by lower sales of peritoneal dialysis products.

Operating Income

       The decrease period over period in the operating income margin was 0.7 percentage points including a negative foreign currency translation effect of 0.4 percentage points in the current period. The decrease was mainly due to unfavorable foreign currency transaction effects, higher overhead costs, and an unfavorable impact from manufacturing, while reimbursement rate increases mitigated inflationary cost increases in the region.

Delivered EBIT

       Delivered EBIT increased by 11% including negative foreign currency translation effects of 2%. At Constant Exchange Rates, delivered EBIT increased by 13% due to increased operating income.

Financial Position

Sources of Liquidity

       Our primary sources of liquidity are typically cash provided by operating activities, cash provided by short-term debt from third parties and related parties, as well as proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and equity securities. We require this capital primarily to finance working capital needs, fund acquisitions and clinics in which we have ownership of less than 100%, develop free-standing renal dialysis clinics and other health care facilities, purchase equipment for existing or new renal dialysis clinics and production sites, repay debt and pay dividends (see "Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities" and "Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities" below).

       In our long-term financial planning, we focus primarily on the leverage ratio, defined as debt/EBITDA ratio, a non-IFRS measure, see "– II. Discussion of Measures – Non-IFRS Measures – Debt/EBITDA" above. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the debt/EBITDA ratio was 2.4 and 2.6, respectively. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net debt/EBITDA ratio, was 2.2 and 2.3, respectively.

       At June 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of €721 million compared to €709 at December 31, 2016.

       Free cash flow (Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, after capital expenditures, before acquisitions and investments) amounted to €664 million and €321 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and can be seen reconciled to the closest approximate IFRS measure in "– II. Discussion of Measures – Non-IFRS Measures – Cash flow measures" above. Free cash flow in percent of revenue was 7% and 4% for six months ended 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Operating Activities

       In the first six months of 2017 and 2016, we generated net cash provided by operating activities of €1,052 million and €767 million, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities in percent of revenue increased to 12% for the first six months of 2017 as compared to 10% in the same period in 2016. Cash provided by operating activities is impacted by the profitability of our business, the development of our working capital, principally inventories, receivables and cash outflows that occur due to a number of specific items as discussed below. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was largely driven by the payment from the United States Departments of Veterans Affairs and Justice for reimbursement, partially offset by the deferral of tax payments in the U.S. from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2017.

       The profitability of our business depends significantly on reimbursement rates. Approximately 82% of our revenue is generated by providing health care services, a major portion of which is reimbursed by either public health care organizations or private insurers. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 34% of our consolidated revenue was attributable to U.S. federal health care benefit programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. Legislative changes could affect Medicare

37


Table of Contents


FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

reimbursement rates for a significant portion of the services we provide, as well as the scope of Medicare coverage. A decrease in reimbursement rates or the scope of coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and thus on our capacity to generate cash flow. See "1. Overview," above.

       We intend to continue to address our current cash and financing requirements using cash provided by operating activities, our existing and future credit agreements, issuances under the Commercial Paper Program (See Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), "Short-Term Debt and Short-Term Debt from Related Parties," included in this report) as well as the issuance of debt securities. In addition, when funds are required for acquisitions or to meet other needs, we expect to successfully complete long-term financing arrangements, such as the issuance of senior notes. We aim to preserve financial resources with a minimum €500 million of committed and unutilized credit facilities.

       Cash provided by operating activities depends on the collection of accounts receivable. Commercial customers and governments generally have different payment cycles. A lengthening of their payment cycles could have a material adverse effect on our capacity to generate cash flow. In addition, we could face difficulties in enforcing and collecting accounts receivable under some countries' legal systems and due to the economic conditions in some countries. Accounts receivable balances, net of valuation allowances, represented Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") of 66 at June 30, 2017, a decrease as compared to 70 at December 31, 2016.

       DSO by segment is calculated by dividing the segment's accounts receivable, as converted to euro using the average exchange rate for the period presented, less any value added tax included in the receivables, by the average daily sales for the last twelve months of that segment, as converted to euro using the average exchange rate for the period. Receivables and sales are adjusted for amounts related to significant acquisitions made during the periods presented. The development of DSO by reporting segment is shown in the table below:

DSO by Reporting Segment  
 
  June 30,
2017
  December 31,
2016
 
North America days sales outstanding     50     54  

EMEA days sales outstanding

143

 

FMC-AG & Co. KGaA average days sales outstanding

70

 

       The DSO decrease in the North America Segment is largely due to the impact of the VA Agreement. The DSO increase in the EMEA Segment was due to payment fluctuations in the region. The Asia-Pacific Segment's DSO decrease reflects an improvement of payment collections in China. The Latin America Segment's DSO decrease reflects collections from public health care organizations in certain countries.

       Due to the fact that a large portion of our reimbursement is provided by public health care organizations and private insurers, we expect that most of our accounts receivable will be collectible.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities

       Net cash used in investing activities was €730 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to net cash used in investing activities of €587 million in the first six months of 2016.

       Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment were €388 million and €446 million in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. In the first six months of 2017, capital expenditures were €235 million in the North America Segment, €83 million at Corporate, €40 million for the EMEA Segment, €15 million for the Asia-Pacific Segment and €15 million for the Latin America Segment. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2016 were €267 million in the North America Segment, €100 million at Corporate, €54 million for the EMEA Segment, €15 million for the Asia-Pacific Segment and €10 million for the Latin America Segment. The majority of our capital expenditures were used for maintaining existing clinics, equipping new clinics, maintenance and expansion of production facilities (primarily in the North America Segment, France and Germany) and capitalization of machines provided to our customers and for Care Coordination. Additionally, for the first six months of 2017, capitalized development costs of €9 million were recognized at Corporate. Capital expenditures were approximately 4% of total revenue in the first six months of 2017 as compared to 6% for the same period in 2016.

       In addition to the capital expenditures discussed above, we invested approximately €352 million cash in the first six months of 2017, €168 million in the North America Segment, €145 million in the Asia-Pacific Segment, €34 million in the EMEA Segment, €3 million at Corporate and €2 million in the Latin America Segment. The investments were mainly driven by acquisitions of dialysis clinics in the North America Segment and a Care Coordination acquisition in the Asia-Pacific Segment. Additionally, in the first six months of 2017, we received €10 million from divestitures mainly related to available for sale financial assets. In the first six months of 2016, we invested approximately €273 million cash, €225 million in the North America Segment, €37 million in the EMEA Segment , €8 million at Corporate and €3 million in the Latin America Segment. The investment was primarily driven by acquisitions of dialysis clinics, available for sale financial assets, acquisitions in our hospital related physician services business, a loan provided to an equity method investee in the North America Segment as well as the acquisition of dialysis clinics in the EMEA Segment. Additionally, in the first six months of 2016, we received €132 million from divestitures, including an approximately €72 million repayment of unsecured loans provided to an equity method investee in 2015 and 2016 as well as approximately €59 million related to available for sale financial assets.

       We anticipate capital expenditures of €1.1 to €1.2 billion and expect to make acquisitions of approximately €0.75 billion in 2017. See "Outlook" below.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities

       Net cash used in financing activities was €242 million in the first six months of 2017 compared to net cash used in financing activities of €41 million in the first six months of 2016.

       In the first six months of 2017, cash was mainly used in the payment of dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests, a reduction in the accounts receivable facility, and repayment of short-term debt from related parties, partially offset by proceeds from short-term debt and short-term debt from related parties. In the first six months of 2016, cash was mainly used in the payment of dividends, repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, repayments of short-term debt and distributions to noncontrolling interests, largely offset by proceeds from short-term debt.

       On May 16, 2017, we paid a dividend with respect to 2016 of €0.96 per share (for 2015 paid in 2016 €0.80). The total dividend payment was €294 million as compared to €244 million in the prior year.

Basis of Presentation

       Since 1996, the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") annual and interim reports containing Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), using the U.S. dollar as the Company's reporting currency. Since 2007, the Company has also been required by German and European law to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union.

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

       In 2007, the Company adopted IFRS 1 and began publishing Consolidated Financial Statements based upon IFRS as adopted by the European Union with the federal gazette in Germany. The Company's effective date of transition to IFRS was January 1, 2006. As required by IFRS 1, the Company has applied all IFRS standards and interpretations that were effective as of December 31, 2007, the reporting date for the first IFRS consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending December 31, 2007, consistently and retrospectively through the transition date.

       As of January 1, 2017, the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in the Company's quarterly reports on 6-K and its Annual Report on 20-F will be prepared solely in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), using the euro as the Company's reporting currency, and the Company has discontinued publishing U.S. GAAP financial information. At June 30, 2017, there were no IFRS or International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations as endorsed by the European Union relevant for interim reporting that differed from IFRS as issued by the IASB. As such, the accompanying condensed interim report complies with the requirements of International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34, Interim Financial Reporting as well as with the rules concerning interim reporting as issued by the IASB.

       The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Such financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

       The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Recently Implemented Accounting Pronouncements

       The Company has prepared its Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2017 in conformity with IFRS in force for the interim periods on January 1, 2017. In the first six months of 2017, the Company did not apply any new standards which would be relevant for its business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

       The IASB issued the following new standards which are relevant for the Company:

    IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

    IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

    IFRS 16, Leases

    Amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows

    IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts

       In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard specifies how and when companies reporting under IFRS will recognize revenue as well as providing users of financial statements with more informative and relevant disclosures. IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts and a number of revenue-related interpretations. While this standard applies to nearly all contracts with customers, the main exceptions are leases, financial instruments and insurance contracts. In September 2015, the IASB issued the amendment "Effective Date of IFRS 15", which defers the effective date of IFRS 15 by one year to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company decided that IFRS 15 will not be adopted early and is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 15, in conjunction with all amendments to the standard, on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Based on findings the Company obtained so far, it expects differences from the current accounting mainly in the calculation of the transaction price for health care services provided. IFRS 15 requires the consideration of implicit price concessions when determining the transaction price. This will lead to a corresponding decrease of revenue from health care services and thus, the implicit price concessions will no longer be included in selling, general and administrative expenses as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The first analysis of this issue showed a decrease of revenue by approximately 2-3% without any effect on net income. A more detailed quantification of the impact of IFRS 15 is not yet possible. The Company expects to implement IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method and is continuing to evaluate accounting policy options. The Company intends to apply IFRS 15 only to open contracts as of January 1, 2018.

       In July 2014, the IASB issued a new version of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. This IFRS 9 version is considered the final and complete version, thus, mainly replacing IAS 39 as soon IFRS 9 is applied. It includes all prior guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as well as hedge accounting and introduces requirements for impairment of financial instruments as well as modified requirements for the measurement categories of financial assets. The impairment provisions reflect a model that relies on expected losses (expected loss model). This model comprises a two stage approach. Upon recognition an entity shall recognize losses that are expected within the next 12 months. If credit risk deteriorates significantly, from that point in time, impairment losses shall amount to lifetime expected losses. The provisions for classification and measurement are amended by introducing an additional third measurement category for certain debt instruments. Such instruments shall be measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income (fair value through other comprehensive income). The standard is accompanied by additional disclosure requirements and is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company decided that IFRS 9 will not be adopted early and is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In accordance with IAS 39, the majority of the non-derivative financial assets are measured at amortized costs. The analysis on the business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of each instrument is still ongoing. The requirements for the classification and measurement of non-derivative financial liabilities have not changed significantly. Thus, the Company expects a limited impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments will continue to be classified and measured at fair value through profit and loss.

       The Company intends to implement the simplified method to determine the provisions for risks from trade accounts receivable, receivables from lease contracts and capitalized contract costs according to IFRS 15. A quantification of the impact is not yet possible. Based on currently available information, derivative financial instruments presently designated as hedging instruments are also qualified for hedge accounting according to the requirements of IFRS 9. The Company also evaluates accounting policy choices and transition methods of IFRS 9.

       In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, Leases, which supersedes the current standard on lease-accounting, IAS 17, as well as the interpretations IFRIC 4, SIC-15 and SIC-27. IFRS 16 significantly improves lessee accounting. For all leases, a lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability must be recognized in the income statement for every lease contract. Therefore, straight-line rental expenses will no longer be shown. The lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17 are substantially carried forward. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for entities that have also adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company expects a balance sheet extension due to the on balance sheet recognition of right of use assets and liabilities for agreed lease payment obligations, currently classified as operating leases, resulting in particular from leased clinics and buildings. Based on a first impact analysis as of December 31, 2015, using certain assumptions and simplifications, the Company expects a financial debt increase of approximately €4,000,000. Referring to the consolidated statement of income, the Company expects an operating income improvement due to the split of rent expenses in depreciation and interest expenses, by having unchanged cash outflows. The Company also expects that its Leverage Ratio (debt as compared to EBITDA, Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted for acquisitions made during the year with a purchase price above a $50,000 threshold as defined in the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement and non-cash charges) will increase by about 0.5. The impact on the Company will depend on the contract portfolio at the effective date, as well as the transition method. Based on a first impact analysis, the Company decided to apply the modified retrospective method. Currently, the Company is evaluating the accounting policy options of IFRS 16.

       In January 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments are intended to improve the information related to the change in a company's debt by providing additional annual disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The Company will initially present the amendments to IAS 7 in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2017.

       In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure related to the issuance of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, which was brought in as an interim Standard in 2004. IFRS 4 permitted the use of national accounting standards for the accounting of insurance contracts under IFRS. As a result of the varied application for insurance contracts there was a lack of comparability among peer groups. IFRS 17 eliminates this diversity in practice by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for using current values. The frequent updates to the insurance values are expected to provide more useful information to users of financial statements. IFRS 17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Earlier adoption is permitted for entities that have also adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company is evaluating the impact of IFRS 17 on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

       In the Company's view, all other pronouncements issued by the IASB do not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements, as expected.

2.    Notes to the Consolidated Statements of Income

a)   Research and Development Expenses

       Research and development expenses of €67,232 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (for the six months ended June 30, 2016: €68,400) include expenditure for research and non-capitalizable development costs as well as depreciation and amortization expenses related to capitalized development costs of €208 (for the six months ended June 30, 2016: €529).

b)   Interest Income

       In 2014, the Company issued equity-neutral convertible bonds (the "Convertible Bonds") for which bond holders can begin exercising their conversion rights embedded in the bonds at certain dates beginning in November 2017. To fully offset the economic exposure from the conversion feature, the Company purchased call options on its shares ("Share Options"). Interest income is recognized either for the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature or the Share Options, dependent upon which is applicable in the year to date period under review. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the fair value of the Share Options increased and, as such, the increase is shown as interest income. However, the increase in the fair value of the Share Options for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was lower than for the three months ended March 31. 2017, which leads to the presentation of negative interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

amount of €384,966. On February 16, 2016, the Company retired 6,549,000 of the repurchased shares from the buy-back program at an average weighted price of €51 per share.

3.    Related Party Transactions

       Fresenius SE is also the Company's largest shareholder and owns 30.8% of the Company's outstanding shares, excluding treasury shares held by the Company, at June 30, 2017. The Company has entered into certain arrangements for services, leases and products with Fresenius SE or its subsidiaries and with certain of the Company's equity method investees as described in item a) below. The Company's terms related to the receivables or payables for these services, leases and products are generally consistent with the normal terms of the Company's ordinary course of business transactions with unrelated parties. Financing arrangements as described in item b) below have agreed upon terms which are determined at the time such financing transactions occur and reflect market rates at the time of the transaction. The relationship between the Company and its key management personnel who are considered to be related parties is described in item c) below. Our related party transactions are settled through Fresenius SE's cash management system where appropriate.

a)   Service Agreements, Lease Agreements and Products

       The Company is party to service agreements with Fresenius SE and certain of its affiliates (collectively the "Fresenius SE Companies") to receive services, including, but not limited to: administrative services, management information services, employee benefit administration, insurance, information technology services, tax services and treasury management services. The Company also provides central purchasing services to the Fresenius SE Companies. These related party agreements generally have a duration of 1-5 years and are renegotiated on an as needed basis when the agreement comes due. The Company provides administrative services to one of its equity method investees.

       The Company is a party to real estate operating lease agreements with the Fresenius SE Companies, which mainly include leases for the Company's corporate headquarters in Bad Homburg, Germany and production sites in Schweinfurt and St. Wendel, Germany. The majority of the leases expire at the end of 2026.

       In addition to the above mentioned service and lease agreements, the Company sold products to the Fresenius SE Companies and made purchases from the Fresenius SE Companies and equity method investees. In addition, Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. ("FMCH") purchases heparin supplied by Fresenius Kabi USA, Inc. ("Kabi USA"), through an independent group purchasing organization ("GPO"). Kabi USA is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius SE. The Company has no direct supply agreement with Kabi USA and does not submit purchase orders directly to Kabi USA. FMCH acquires heparin from Kabi USA, through the GPO contract, which was negotiated by the GPO at arm's length on behalf of all members of the GPO.

       In December 2010, the Company formed the renal pharmaceutical company Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd., ("VFMCRP"), an equity method investee of which the Company owns 45%, with Galenica Ltd. (now known as Vifor Pharma Ltd). The Company has entered into exclusive supply agreements to purchase certain pharmaceuticals from VFMCRP.

9.    Supplementary Information on Capital Management

       The principle objectives of the Company's capital management strategy are to optimize the weighted average cost of capital and to achieve a balanced mix of shareholders' equity and financial debt. The dialysis industry, in which the Company has a strong market position in global, growing and largely non-cyclical markets, is characterized by stable cash flows. Due to the Company's payors' mostly high credit quality, it is able to generate high, stable, predictable and sustainable cash flows.

       These generated cash flows allow the Company to utilize an extensive mix of financial liabilities.

       As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 equity and debt were as follows:

10.    Employee Benefit Plans

       The Company currently has five principal pension plans, one for German employees, three for French employees and the other covering employees in the United States, the latter of which was curtailed in 2002.

Plan benefits are generally based on years of service and final salary. As there is no legal requirement in Germany to fund defined benefit plans, the Company's pension obligations in Germany are unfunded. Each year FMCH contributes to the plan covering United States employees at least the minimum required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In 2017, FMCH did not have a minimum funding requirement. For the first six months of 2017, the Company voluntarily provided €574 to the defined benefit plan. For the remaining period of 2017, the Company expects further voluntarily contributions of €456.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Regulatory Matters

       The Company is routinely involved in claims, lawsuits, regulatory and tax audits, investigations and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of its business of providing health care services and products. Legal matters that the Company currently deems to be material or noteworthy are described below. For the matters described below in which the Company believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, an estimate of the loss or range of loss exposure is provided. For the other matters described below, the Company believes that the loss probability is remote and/or the loss or range of possible losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always difficult to predict accurately and outcomes that are not consistent with the Company's view of the merits can occur. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to the legal matters pending against it and is defending itself vigorously. Nevertheless, it is possible that the resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

       On February 15, 2011, a whistleblower (relator) action under the False Claims Act against FMCH was unsealed by order of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and served by the relator. United States ex rel. Chris Drennen v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., 2009 Civ. 10179 (D. Mass.). The relator's complaint, which was first filed under seal in February 2009, alleged that the Company sought and received reimbursement from government payors for serum ferritin and multiple forms of hepatitis B laboratory tests that were medically unnecessary or not properly ordered by a physician. Discovery on the relator's complaint closed in May 2015. Although the United States initially declined to intervene in the case, the government subsequently changed position. On April 3, 2017, the court allowed the government to intervene with respect only to certain hepatitis B surface antigen tests

performed prior to 2011, when Medicare reimbursement rules for such tests changed. The court rejected the government's request to conduct new discovery, but is allowing FMCH to take discovery against the government as if the government had intervened at the outset.

       The Company has received communications alleging conduct in countries outside the U.S. that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") or other anti-bribery laws. The Company's Supervisory Board, through its Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, has been conducting investigations with the assistance of independent counsel. The Company voluntarily advised the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"). The Company's investigations and dialogue with the SEC and DOJ are ongoing. The Company is cooperating with the government investigations.

       The Company has identified and reported to the government, and has taken remedial actions including employee disciplinary actions with respect to, conduct that may result in monetary penalties or other sanctions under the FCPA or other anti-bribery laws. In addition, the Company's ability to conduct business in certain jurisdictions could be negatively impacted. The Company has recorded in prior periods a non-material accrual for an identified matter. The Company has substantially concluded its investigations and has entered into discussions toward a possible resolution with the government agencies. There is no timetable for a possible resolution. Given the current status of the resolution discussions and remediation activities, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the range of possible loss that may result from identified matters or from the resolution or remediation activities.

       The Company continues to implement enhancements to its anti-corruption compliance program, including internal controls related to compliance with international anti-bribery laws. The Company continues to be fully committed to FCPA and other anti-bribery law compliance.

       On April 5, 2013, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered that the numerous lawsuits pending in various federal courts alleging wrongful death and personal injury claims against FMCH and certain of its affiliates relating to FMCH's acid concentrate products NaturaLyte® and GranuFlo® be transferred and consolidated for pretrial management purposes into a consolidated multidistrict litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. In Re: Fresenius GranuFlo/NaturaLyte Dialysate Products Liability Litigation, Case No. 2013-md-02428. The Massachusetts state courts and the St. Louis City (Missouri) court subsequently established similar consolidated litigation for their cases. In Re: Consolidated Fresenius Cases, Case No. MICV 2013-03400-O (Massachusetts Superior Court, Middlesex County). Although similar cases were filed in other state courts, the Massachusetts federal and state courts and the St. Louis court were responsible, together, for more than 95% of all cases. The lawsuits alleged generally that inadequate labeling and warnings for these products caused harm to patients. On February 17, 2016, the Company reached with a committee of plaintiffs' counsel and reported to the courts an agreement in principle for settlement of potentially all cases. The agreement in principle calls for the Company to pay $250,000 into a settlement fund in exchange for releases of substantially all the plaintiffs' claims, subject to the Company's right to void the settlement under certain conditions.

       As subsequently agreed and refined between the Company and the plaintiff committee, and ordered by the courts, plaintiffs may enforce the settlement and compel payment by the Company if the total of cases electing to participate in the settlement and dismissed by the courts with prejudice, voluntarily or involuntarily, comes to comprise 97% of all cases as defined under the agreement. The three primary courts entered "Lone Pine" orders requiring plaintiffs, on pain of dismissal, who have not elected to

60


Table of Contents


FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE AG & Co. KGaA

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

participate in the settlement to submit specific justification satisfactory to the courts for their complaints, including attorney verification of certain material factual representations and expert medical opinions relating to causation. The Company may elect to void the settlement if the 97% threshold is not achieved or if plaintiffs' non-participation falls into suspect patterns.

       The deadlines for plaintiffs to elect participation in the settlement or comply with Lone Pine orders have passed. Based on participation elections already received and Lone Pine dismissal orders already entered, the plaintiff committee and FMCH expect, and have advised the courts that they expect, the settlement to be consummated. However, in the Middlesex County coordinated proceeding, many counsel for many plaintiffs have moved to withdraw from representing their clients and the court has granted extensions of time to allow plaintiffs to obtain new counsel or proceed pro se. In addition, difficulties and delays have occurred in the plaintiff committee's assembling and verifying individual participation elections. The plaintiff committee and FMCH have therefore agreed, with court approval, that consummation will occur promptly upon sufficient verification of fulfillment of the participation threshold, providing only that consummation must occur by February 28, 2018.

       FMCH believes that plaintiffs in fewer than 1% of all cases in all jurisdictions will make final strategic elections not to participate in the master settlement and will engage in additional litigation activity, and that all such cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts (Boston); Los Angeles, California county court; or Birmingham, Alabama county court.

       The Company's affected insurers have agreed to fund $220,000 of the settlement fund if the settlement is not voided, with a reservation of rights regarding certain coverage issues between and among the Company and its insurers. The Company has accrued a net expense of $60,000 for consummation of the settlement, including legal fees and other anticipated costs.

       Following entry of the agreement in principle, the Company's insurers in the AIG group and the Company each initiated litigation against the other, in New York and Massachusetts state courts respectively, relating to the AIG group's coverage obligations under applicable policies. The affected carriers have confirmed that the coverage litigation does not impact their commitment to fund $220,000 of the settlement with plaintiffs. In the coverage litigation, the AIG group seeks to reduce its obligation to less than $220,000 and to be indemnified by the Company for a portion of its $220,000 outlay; the Company seeks to confirm the AIG group's $220,000 funding obligation, to recover defense costs already incurred by the Company, and to compel the AIG group to honor defense and indemnification obligations, if any, required for resolution of cases not participating in the settlement.

       Certain of the complaints in the GranuFlo®/NaturaLyte® litigation named combinations of FMC-AG & Co. KGaA, Management AG, Fresenius SE and Fresenius Management SE as defendants, in addition to FMCH and its domestic United States affiliates. The agreement in principle provides for dismissals and releases of claims encompassing the European defendants.

       Four institutional plaintiffs have filed complaints against FMCH or its affiliates under state deceptive practices statutes resting on certain background allegations common to the GranuFlo®/NaturaLyte® personal injury litigation, but seeking as remedy the repayment of sums paid to FMCH attributable to the GranuFlo®/NaturaLyte® products. These cases implicate different legal standards, theories of liability and forms of potential recovery from those in the personal injury litigation and their claims will not be extinguished by the personal injury litigation settlement described above. The four plaintiffs are the

Attorneys General for the States of Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi and the commercial insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana in its private capacity. State of Mississippi ex rel. Hood, v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., No. 14-cv-152 (Chancery Court, DeSoto County); State of Louisiana ex re. Caldwell and Louisiana Health Service & Indemnity Company v. Fresenius Medical Care Airline, 2016 Civ. 11035 (U.S.D.C. D. Mass.); Commonwealth of Kentucky ex rel. Beshear v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. et al., No. 16-CI-00946 (Circuit Court, Franklin County).

       In August 2014, FMCH received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland inquiring into FMCH's contractual arrangements with hospitals and physicians, including contracts relating to the management of in-patient acute dialysis services. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

       In July 2015, the Attorney General for Hawaii issued a civil complaint under the Hawaii False Claims Act alleging a conspiracy pursuant to which certain Liberty Dialysis subsidiaries of FMCH overbilled Hawaii Medicaid for Liberty's Epogen® administrations to Hawaii Medicaid patients during the period from 2006 through 2010, prior to the time of FMCH's acquisition of Liberty. Hawaii v. Liberty Dialysis – Hawaii, LLC et al., Case No. 15-1-1357-07 (Hawaii 1st Circuit). The State alleges that Liberty acted unlawfully by relying on incorrect and unauthorized billing guidance provided to Liberty by Xerox State Healthcare LLC, which acted as Hawaii's contracted administrator for its Medicaid program reimbursement operations during the relevant period. The amount of the overpayment claimed by the State is approximately $8,000, but the State seeks civil remedies, interest, fines, and penalties against Liberty and FMCH under the Hawaii False Claims Act substantially in excess of the overpayment. FMCH filed third-party claims for contribution and indemnification against Xerox. The State's False Claims Act complaint was filed after Liberty initiated an administrative action challenging the State's recoupment of alleged overpayments from sums currently owed to Liberty. The civil litigation and administrative action are proceeding in parallel.

       On August 31 and November 25, 2015, respectively, FMCH received subpoenas under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorneys for the District of Colorado and the Eastern District of New York inquiring into FMCH's participation in and management of dialysis facility joint ventures in which physicians are partners. On March 20, 2017, FMCH received a subpoena in the Western District of Tennessee inquiring into certain of the operations of dialysis facility joint ventures with the University of Tennessee Medical Group, including joint ventures in which FMCH's interests were divested to Satellite Dialysis in connection with FMCH's acquisition of Liberty Dialysis in 2012. FMCH is cooperating in these investigations.

       On October 6, 2015, the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("OIG") issued a subpoena under the False Claims Act to the Company seeking information about utilization and invoicing by Fresenius Vascular Care, now known as Azura Vascular Care, facilities as a whole for a period beginning after the Company's acquisition of American Access Care LLC in October 2011 ("AAC"). The Company is cooperating in the government's inquiry, which is being managed by the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Allegations against AAC arising in districts in Connecticut, Florida and Rhode Island relating to utilization and invoicing were settled in 2015.

       On June 30, 2016, FMCH received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) seeking information under the False Claims Act about the use and management of pharmaceuticals including Velphoro® as well as FMCH's interactions with DaVita Healthcare

Partners, Inc. The Company understands that the subpoena relates to an investigation previously disclosed by DaVita and that the investigation encompasses DaVita, Amgen, and Sanofi. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

       On November 18, 2016, FMCH received a subpoena under the False Claims Act from the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York seeking documents and information relating to the operations of Shiel Medical Laboratory, Inc., which FMCH acquired in October 2013. In the course of cooperating in the investigation and preparing to respond to the subpoena, FMCH identified falsifications and misrepresentations in documents submitted by a Shiel salesperson that relate to the integrity of certain invoices submitted by Shiel for laboratory testing for patients in long term care facilities. On February 21, 2017, FMCH terminated the employee and notified the United States Attorney of the termination and its circumstances. The terminated employee's conduct may subject the Company to liability for overpayments and penalties under applicable laws. The Company continues to cooperate in the government's ongoing investigation.

       On December 14, 2016, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), which administers the federal Medicare program, published an Interim Final Rule ("IFR") titled "Medicare Program; Conditions for Coverage for End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities-Third Party Payment." The IFR would have amended the Conditions for Coverage for dialysis providers, like FMCH and would have effectively enabled insurers to reject premium payments made by or on behalf of patients who received grants for individual market coverage from the American Kidney Fund ("AKF" or "the Fund"). The IFR could thus have resulted in those patients losing individual insurance market coverage. The loss of coverage for these patients would have had a material and adverse impact on the operating results of FMCH.

       On January 25, 2017, a federal district court in Texas responsible for litigation initiated by a patient advocacy group and dialysis providers including FMCH preliminarily enjoined CMS from implementing the IFR. Dialysis Patient Citizens v. Burwell, 2017 Civ. 0016 (E.D. Texas, Sherman Div.). The preliminary injunction was based on CMS' failure to follow appropriate notice-and-comment procedures in adopting the IFR. The preliminary injunction remains in place in the absence of a contrary ruling by the district or appellate courts.

       On June 22, 2017, CMS requested a stay of proceedings in the litigation pending further rulemaking concerning the IFR. CMS stated, in support of its request, that it expects to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register and otherwise pursue a notice-and-comment process in the fall of 2017. Plaintiffs in the litigation, including FMCH, consented to the stay, which was granted by the court.

       The operation of charitable assistance programs like that of the AKF is also receiving increased attention by state insurance regulators. The result may be a regulatory framework that differs from state to state. Even in the absence of the IFR or similar administrative actions, insurers are likely to continue efforts to thwart charitable premium assistance to our patients for individual market plans and other insurance coverages. If successful, these efforts would have a material adverse impact on the Company's operating results.

       On January 3, 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts under the False Claims Act inquiring into the Company's interactions and relationships with the AKF, including the Company's charitable contributions to the Fund and the Fund's financial assistance to patients for insurance premiums. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation, which the Company understands to be part of a broader investigation into charitable contributions in the medical industry.

       In early May 2017, the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee (Nashville) issued identical subpoenas to FMCH and two subsidiaries under the False Claims Act concerning the Company's retail pharmaceutical business. The investigation is exploring allegations of improper inducements to dialysis patients to fill oral prescriptions through FMCH's pharmacy service and of improper billing for returned pharmacy products. FMCH is cooperating in the investigation.

       In 2011, FMCH received a subpoena from the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn) requesting information under the False Claims Act concerning an assay manufactured by Bayer Diagnostics. Bayer Diagnostics was later acquired by Siemens. The assay is used to test for the serum content of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The assay has been widely used by FMCH and others in the dialysis industry for assessment of bone mineral metabolism disorder, a common consequence of kidney failure. FMCH responded fully and cooperatively to the subpoena, but concluded that it was not the focus or target of the US Attorney's investigation. On March 16, 2017, the US Attorney elected not to intervene on a sealed relator (whistleblower) complaint first filed in January 2011 that apparently underlay the investigation. After the US Attorney declined intervention, the United States District Court for the Eastern District unsealed the complaint and ordered the relator to serve and otherwise proceed on his own. FMCH was served on June 15, 2017. The plaintiff-relator is a salesperson employed by Scantibodies, a company that manufactures a competing PTH assay. Relator alleges in essence that Siemens improperly colluded with Fresenius, DaVita, and another dialysis provider to bar the Scantibodies' product from the market in favor of the allegedly inferior Siemens product. Siemens and DaVita are named as defendants, together with FMCH. Patriarca v. Bayer Diagnostics n/k/a Siemens et alia, 2011 Civ. 00181 (E.D.N.Y.).

       From time to time, the Company is a party to or may be threatened with other litigation or arbitration, claims or assessments arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management regularly analyzes current information including, as applicable, the Company's defenses and insurance coverage and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of these matters.

       The Company, like other healthcare providers, insurance plans and suppliers, conducts its operations under intense government regulation and scrutiny. It must comply with regulations which relate to or govern the safety and efficacy of medical products and supplies, the marketing and distribution of such products, the operation of manufacturing facilities, laboratories, dialysis clinics and other health care facilities, and environmental and occupational health and safety. With respect to its development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical products, if such compliance is not maintained, the Company could be subject to significant adverse regulatory actions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S. These regulatory actions could include warning letters or other enforcement notices from the FDA, and/or comparable foreign regulatory authority which may require the Company to expend significant time and resources in order to implement appropriate corrective actions. If the Company does not address matters raised in warning letters or other enforcement notices to the satisfaction of the FDA and/or comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S., these regulatory authorities could take additional actions, including product recalls, injunctions against the distribution of products or operation of manufacturing plants, civil

penalties, seizures of the Company's products and/or criminal prosecution. FMCH is currently engaged in remediation efforts with respect to one pending FDA warning letter. The Company must also comply with the laws of the United States, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act, the federal Stark Law, the federal Civil Monetary Penalties Law and the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as other federal and state fraud and abuse laws. Applicable laws or regulations may be amended, or enforcement agencies or courts may make interpretations that differ from the Company's interpretations or the manner in which it conducts its business. Enforcement has become a high priority for the federal government and some states. In addition, the provisions of the False Claims Act authorizing payment of a portion of any recovery to the party bringing the suit encourage private plaintiffs to commence whistleblower actions. By virtue of this regulatory environment, the Company's business activities and practices are subject to extensive review by regulatory authorities and private parties, and continuing audits, subpoenas, other inquiries, claims and litigation relating to the Company's compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company may not always be aware that an inquiry or action has begun, particularly in the case of whistleblower actions, which are initially filed under court seal.

       The Company operates many facilities and handles protected health information ("PHI") of its patients and beneficiaries throughout the United States and other parts of the world, and engages with other business associates to help it carry out its health care activities. In such a decentralized system, it is often difficult to maintain the desired level of oversight and control over the thousands of individuals employed by many affiliated companies and its business associates. On occasion, the Company or its business associates may experience a breach under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") Privacy Rule when there has been impermissible use, access, or disclosure of unsecured PHI, a breach under the HIPAA Security Rule when the Company or its business associates neglect to implement the required administrative, technical and physical safeguards of its electronic systems and devices, or a data breach that results in impermissible use, access or disclosure of personal identifying information ("PII") of its employees, patients and beneficiaries. On those occasions, the Company must comply with state and federal breach notification requirements. The Company relies upon its management structure, regulatory and legal resources, and the effective operation of its compliance program to direct, manage and monitor the activities of its employees. On occasion, the Company may identify instances where employees or other agents deliberately, recklessly or inadvertently contravene the Company's policies or violate applicable law. The actions of such persons may subject the Company and its subsidiaries to liability under the Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, the False Claims Act, HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, among other laws and comparable state laws or laws of other countries.

       Physicians, hospitals and other participants in the healthcare industry are also subject to a large number of lawsuits alleging professional negligence, malpractice, product liability, worker's compensation or related claims, many of which involve large claims and significant defense costs. The Company has been and is currently subject to these suits due to the nature of its business and expects that those types of lawsuits may continue. Although the Company maintains insurance at a level which it believes to be prudent, it cannot assure that the coverage limits will be adequate or that insurance will cover all asserted claims. A successful claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect upon it and the results of its operations. Any claims, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation and business.

       The Company has also had claims asserted against it and has had lawsuits filed against it relating to alleged patent infringements or businesses that it has acquired or divested. These claims and suits relate both to operation of the businesses and to the acquisition and divestiture transactions. The Company has,

when appropriate, asserted its own claims, and claims for indemnification. A successful claim against the Company or any of its subsidiaries could have a material adverse effect upon its business, financial condition, and the results of its operations. Any claims, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's reputation and business.

       The Company is also subject to ongoing and future tax audits in the U.S., Germany and other jurisdictions. With respect to other potential adjustments and disallowances of tax matters currently under review, the Company does not anticipate that an unfavorable ruling could have a material impact on its results of operations. The Company is not currently able to determine the timing of these potential additional tax payments.

       Other than those individual contingent liabilities mentioned above, the current estimated amount of the Company's other known individual contingent liabilities is immaterial.

12.    Financial Instruments

       The Company applies IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures). Thereby the following categories according to IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement) are relevant: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as well as financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost and available for sale financial assets.

Non-derivative Financial Instruments

       The significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of non-derivative financial instruments are as follows:

       Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value which equals the fair value.

       Short-term financial instruments such as trade accounts receivable, accounts receivable from related parties, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties and short-term debt as well as certain other financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts, which are reasonable estimates of the fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments.

       The fair value of available for sale financial assets quoted in an active market is based on price quotations at the period-end date (Level 1).

       Long-term debt is recognized at its carrying amount. The fair values of major long-term debt are calculated on the basis of market information (Level 2). Liabilities for which market quotes are available are measured using these quotes. The fair values of the other long-term debt are calculated at the present value of the respective future cash flows. To determine these present values, the prevailing interest rates and credit spreads for the Company as of the balance sheet date are used.

       Variable payments outstanding for acquisitions are recognized at their fair value. The estimation of the individual fair values is based on the key inputs of the arrangement that determine the future contingent payment as well as the Company's expectation of these factors (Level 3). The Company assesses the likelihood and timing of achieving the relevant objectives. The underlying assumptions are reviewed regularly.

       Noncontrolling interests subject to put provisions are recognized at their fair value. The methodology the Company uses to estimate the fair values assumes the greater of net book value or a multiple of earnings, based on historical earnings, development stage of the underlying business and other factors (Level 3). Additionally, there are put provisions that are valued by an external valuation firm. The external valuation estimates the fair values using a combination of discounted cash flows and a multiple of earnings and/or revenue (Level 3). When applicable, the obligations are discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The estimated fair values of the noncontrolling interests subject to these put provisions can also fluctuate, and the discounted cash flows as well as the implicit multiple of earnings and/or revenue at which these noncontrolling interest obligations may ultimately be settled could vary significantly from the Company's current estimates depending upon market conditions.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Market Risk

       In order to manage the risk of currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, the Company enters into various hedging transactions by means of derivative instruments with highly rated financial institutions as authorized by the Company's General Partner. On a quarterly basis, the Company performs an assessment of its counterparty credit risk. The Company currently considers this risk to be low. The Company's policy, which has been consistently followed, is that financial derivatives be used only for the purpose of hedging foreign currency and interest rate exposure.

       In certain instances, the Company enters into derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting but are utilized for economic purposes ("economic hedges"). The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company established guidelines for risk assessment procedures and controls for the use of financial instruments. They include a clear segregation of duties with regard to execution on one side and administration, accounting and controlling on the other.

       To reduce the credit risk arising from derivatives the Company entered into Master Netting Agreements with banks. Through such agreements, positive and negative fair values of the derivative contracts could be offset against one another if a partner becomes insolvent. This offsetting is valid for transactions where the aggregate amount of obligations owed to and receivable from are not equal. If insolvency occurs, the party which owes the larger amount is obliged to pay the other party the difference between the amounts owed in the form of one net payment.

70

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

       These master netting agreements do not provide a basis for offsetting the fair values of derivative financial instruments in the statement of financial position as the offsetting criteria under IFRS are not satisfied.

       At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had €15,234 and €24,312 of derivative financial assets subject to netting arrangements and €18,777 and €26,751 of derivative financial liabilities subject to netting arrangements. Offsetting these derivative financial instruments would have resulted in net assets of €5,960 and €13,673 as well as net liabilities of €9,503 and €16,112 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

       In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Bonds in September 2014, the Company purchased share options. Any change in the Company's share price above the conversion price would be offset by a corresponding value change in the share options.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

       The Company conducts business on a global basis in various currencies, though a majority of its operations are in Germany and the United States. For financial reporting purposes in accordance with Section 315e of the German Commercial Code ("HGB") the Company has chosen the euro as its reporting currency. Therefore, changes in the rate of exchange between the euro and the local currencies in which the financial statements of the Company's international operations are maintained, affect its results of operations and financial position as reported in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

       Additionally, individual subsidiaries are exposed to transactional risks mainly resulting from intercompany purchases between production sites and other subsidiaries with different functional currencies. This exposes the subsidiaries to fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the invoicing currencies and the currency in which their local operations are conducted. For the purpose of hedging existing and foreseeable foreign exchange transaction exposures the Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and, on a small scale, foreign exchange options. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no foreign exchange options.

       Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of foreign exchange forward contracts designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges of forecasted product purchases and sales are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). Additionally, in connection with intercompany loans in foreign currency, the Company uses foreign exchange swaps to assure that no foreign exchange risks arise from those loans, which, if they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, are also reported in AOCI. These amounts recorded in AOCI are subsequently reclassified into earnings as a component of cost of revenue for those contracts that hedge product purchases and sales or as an adjustment of interest income/expense for those contracts that hedge loans, in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts in place that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges totalled €58,477 and €103,358 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

       The Company also enters into derivative contracts for forecasted product purchases and sales and for intercompany loans in foreign currencies which do not qualify for hedge accounting but are utilized for economic hedges as defined above. In these two cases, the change in value of the economic hedge is

71

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

recorded in the income statement and usually offsets the change in value recorded in the income statement for the underlying asset or liability. The notional amounts of economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting totalled €972,381 and €1,407,611 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk Management

       The Company enters into derivatives, particularly interest rate swaps and, to a certain extent, interest rate options to protect against the risk of rising interest rates. These interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and have been entered into in order to effectively convert payments based on variable interest rates into payments at a fixed interest rate. The euro-denominated interest rate swaps expire in 2019 and have a weighted average interest rate of 0.32%. Interest payable and receivable under the swap agreements is accrued and recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

       The effective portion of gains and losses of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is deferred in AOCI; the amount of gains and losses reclassified from AOCI are recorded in interest income and interest expenses.

       At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the notional amount of the euro-denominated interest rate swaps in place was €240,000 and €252,000.

       In addition, the Company also enters into interest rate hedges ("pre-hedges") in anticipation of future long-term debt issuance. These pre-hedges are used to hedge interest rate exposures with regard to interest rates which are relevant for the future long-term debt issuance and which could rise until the respective debt is actually issued. These pre-hedges were settled at the issuance date of the corresponding long-term debt with the settlement amount recorded in AOCI amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had €26,326 and €35,814, respectively, related to settlements of pre-hedges deferred in AOCI, net of tax.

(1) At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the valuation of the Company's derivatives was determined using Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2).

(2) Derivative instruments are marked to market each reporting period resulting in carrying amounts being equal to fair values at the reporting date.

       The carrying amounts for the current portion of derivatives indicated as assets in the table above are included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets while the current portion of those indicated as liabilities are included in Current provisions and other current liabilities. The non-current portions indicated as assets or liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other non-current assets or Non-current provisions and other non-current liabilities, respectively.

       The significant methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of derivative financial instruments are as follows:

       The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting the future cash flows on the basis of the market interest rates applicable for the remaining term of the contract as of the balance sheet date. To determine the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, the contracted forward rate is compared to the current forward rate for the remaining term of the contract as of the balance sheet date. The result is then discounted on the basis of the market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date for the applicable currency. The fair value of the embedded derivative of the convertible bonds is calculated using the difference between the market value of the convertible bond and the market value of an adequate straight bond discounted with the market interest rates as of the reporting date.

       The Company's own credit risk is incorporated in the fair value estimation of derivatives that are liabilities. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are factored into the valuation of derivatives that are assets. The Company monitors and analyses the credit risk from derivative financial instruments on a regular basis. For the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the credit risk is considered in the fair value of every individual instrument. The default probability is based upon the credit default swap spreads of each counterparty appropriate for the duration. The calculation of the credit risk considered in the valuation is performed by multiplying the default probability appropriate for the duration with the expected discounted cash flows of the derivative financial instrument.

13.    Segment and Corporate Information

       The Company's operating segments are the North America Segment, the EMEA Segment, the Asia-Pacific Segment and the Latin America Segment. The operating segments are determined based upon how the Company manages its businesses with geographical responsibilities. All segments are primarily engaged in providing health care services and the distribution of products and equipment for the treatment of ESRD and other extracorporeal therapies.

       Management evaluates each segment using measures that reflect all of the segment's controllable revenues and expenses. With respect to the performance of business operations, management believes that the most appropriate IFRS measures are revenue, operating income and operating income margin. The Company does not include income taxes as it believes this is outside the segments' control. Financing is a corporate function, which the Company's segments do not control. Therefore, the Company does not include interest expense relating to financing as a segment measurement. Similarly, the Company does not allocate certain costs, which relate primarily to certain headquarters' overhead charges, including accounting and finance, because the Company believes that these costs are also not within the control of the individual segments. Production of products, production asset management, quality management and procurement related to production are centrally managed at Corporate. The Company's global research and development is also centrally managed at Corporate. These Corporate activities do not fulfill the definition of a segment according to IFRS 8. Products are transferred to the segments at cost; therefore no internal profit is generated. The associated internal revenue for the product transfers and their elimination are recorded as Corporate activities. Capital expenditures for production are based on the expected demand of the segments and consolidated profitability considerations. In addition, certain revenues, investments and intangible assets, as well as any related expenses, are not allocated to a segment but are accounted for as Corporate.

15.    Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date

       The Company originally entered into a syndicated credit facility of $3,850,000 and a 5 year period (the "2012 Credit Agreement") with a large group of banks and institutional investors (collectively, the "Lenders") on October 30, 2012. On November 26, 2014, the 2012 Credit Agreement was amended to increase the total credit facility to approximately $4,400,000 and extend the term for an additional two years until October 30, 2019 ("Amended 2012 Credit Agreement"). On July 11, 2017, the Company further amended and extended the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement resulting in a total credit facility of approximately $3,916,000 with maturities of 3 and 5 years on an unsecured basis. The Amended 2012 Credit Agreement now reflects a simplified, unsecured structure consistent with the investment grade rating of the Company and lower tiered pricing.

       The current facilities under the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement now consist of the following:

    A revolving credit facility of $900,000 which will be due and payable on July 31, 2022.

    A revolving credit facility of €600,000 which will be due and payable on July 31, 2022.

    A term loan facility of $1,500,000, also scheduled to mature on July 31, 2022. Quarterly repayments of $30,000 beginning on October 31, 2017 and ending on July 31, 2022 at which time the remaining balance outstanding will be due and payable in full.

77

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

    A non-amortizing term loan facility of €400,000 which is scheduled to mature on July 30, 2020.

    A term loan facility of €350,000 scheduled to mature on July 31, 2022. Quarterly repayments of €7,000 beginning on October 31, 2017 and ending on July 31, 2022 at which time the remaining balance outstanding will be due and payable in full.

       Interest on the credit facilities is floating at a rate equal to EURIBOR / LIBOR (as applicable) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is variable and depends on the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio which is a ratio of its consolidated funded debt less cash and cash equivalents held by the Consolidated Group to Consolidated EBITDA (as these terms are defined in the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement).

       Obligations under the Amended 2012 Credit Agreement are unsecured.

       Additionally, the Company issued 67/8% Senior Notes in July 2007 which were redeemed at maturity on July 17, 2017. No further significant activities have taken place subsequent to the balance sheet date June 30, 2017 that have a material impact on the key figures and earnings presented. Currently, there are no other significant changes in the Company's structure, management, legal form or personnel.

16.    Supplemental Condensed Combining Information

       FMC Finance III S.A., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued 67/8% Senior Notes due 2017 in July 2007. On June 20, 2011, Fresenius Medical Care US Finance, Inc. ("US Finance") acquired substantially all of the assets of FMC Finance III S.A. and assumed its obligations, including the 67/8% Senior Notes and the related indenture. The 67/8% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior basis, by the Company and by FMCH and D-GmbH, together the ("Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The 67/8% Senior Notes and related guarantees were issued in an exchange offer registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The 67/8% Senior Notes were redeemed at maturity on July 17, 2017. The financial statements in this report present the financial condition of the Company, on a consolidated basis at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and its results of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The following combining financial information for the Company is at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, segregated between US Finance as issuer, the Company, D-GmbH and FMCH as guarantors, and the Company's other businesses (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). For purposes of the condensed combining information, the Company and the guarantors carry their investments under the equity method. Other (income) expense includes income (loss) related to investments in consolidated subsidiaries recorded under the equity method for purposes of the condensed combining information. In addition, other (income) expense includes income and losses from profit and loss transfer agreements as well as dividends received.

Controls and Procedures

       The Company is a "foreign private issuer" within the meaning of Rule 3b-4(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As such, the Company is not required to file quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is required to provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, to disclose significant changes in its internal control over financial reporting, and to provide certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 only in its Annual Report on Form 20-F. The Company furnishes quarterly financial information to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and such certifications under cover of Form 6-K on a voluntary basis and pursuant to the provisions of the Company's pooling agreement entered into for the benefit of the public holders of our shares. In connection with such voluntary reporting, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company's general partner, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, of the type contemplated by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded in connection with the furnishing of this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information the Company is required to disclose in the reports filed or furnished under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and are effective to ensure that the information the Company is required to disclose in its reports is accumulated and communicated to the General Partner's Management Board, including the General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the past fiscal quarter, there have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls.

       During the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company substantially concluded its investigations into allegations of conduct outside the U.S: that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other anti-bribery laws and has entered into discussions toward a possible resolution with U.S: government agencies. For information with respect to compliance investigations, see Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), "Commitments and Contingencies" presented elsewhere in this Report. The Company is implementing enhancements to its anti-corruption compliance program, including internal controls related to compliance with international anti-bribery laws.
