The war in Ukraine has led to great human suffering and economic hardship. The outlook for the global economy has become more uncertain and depends crucially on how the conflict develops and the impact of sanctions measures. Inflation is currently at a high level, additionally driven by supply-side bottlenecks, energy price shocks and rising commodity prices in connection with the war in Ukraine.
According to the ECB's current forecast, the economy in the euro zone will grow by 3.7% this year. The ECB left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.00% during its March meeting.
The Federal Reserve's latest forecast projects the U.S. economy to grow by 2.8% in 2022. The U.S. Federal Reserve increased the existing interest rates corridor by 25bps to 0.25% to 0.50% at its March meeting.
Within this economic environment, the DAX decreased by 9% in the first three months of 2022 to 14,415 points. The Fresenius share lost 6% in Q1/ 22 and closed at €33.35 on March 31, 2022.
Fresenius with solid start to 2022 despite macroeconomic challenges
Our goal is to expand Fresenius' position as a leading global provider of products, services, and therapies for critically and chronically ill people.
Our purpose is to offer ''Ever better medicine for ever more people''. In line with this purpose, Fresenius develops innovative, affordable, and profitable medical solutions for the megatrends of health and demographics. What drives us to achieve top performance every day is our mission: we improve people's lives by providing high-quality and affordable healthcare. Consequently, Fresenius' business decisions are guided by this mission. Our goal is to
expand Fresenius' position as a leading global provider of products, services, and therapies for critically and chronically ill people. At the same time, we want to grow profitably and use our capital efficiently. We have lived up to our special responsibility as part of the healthcare system, even under the difficult circumstances of the current COVID-19 pandemic. With our products, services, and therapies, we have made many important contributions worldwide.
In our view, a significant adjustment of our strategy due to the COVID-19 pandemic is not necessary.
Fresenius has defined a strategic path to pursue accelerated profitable growth and hence to strengthen the Group and each of its business segments by tapping new sources of capital and prioritizing segment capital allocation. All our stakeholders continue to benefit from the advantages of the Group's current structure, which offers stability through diversification as well as efficiency through economies of scale, access to attractive debt financing and tax savings.
All of Fresenius' business segments have excellent market positions and ample meaningful growth opportunities. Properly balancing the objectives of all our stakeholder groups requires an even more targeted approach to capital
allocation. While Fresenius continues to believe in the virtues of vertical integration, The Company is keen to gradually re-balance the relative weights of its products and service businesses.
Primarily based on its superior profitability and excellent growth prospects, Fresenius Kabi is defined as top priority. With respect to Fresenius Medical Care, which has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic, the transformation program FME25 is expected to result in ever improving profitability and accelerated growth, driving improved valuation for Fresenius' controlling stake. For Fresenius Helios and Fresenius Vamed, smaller inorganic growth opportunities will continue to be financed from Fresenius Group funds. For larger growth opportunities, Fresenius is open to value-enhancing external equity investments the level of these business segments. An equity increase on Group level would then be redundant and is hence not foreseen.
By setting this course, Fresenius will accelerate the growth of each of our business segments for the benefit of all stakeholders.
In 2021, Fresenius initiated a cost and efficiency program. The program aims to further safeguard the medium-term targets and sustainably enhance profitability.
Through implementation of initiatives, Fresenius expects cost savings of at least €150 million p.a. after tax and minority interest in 2023. For the years thereafter, a further
significant increase in sustainable cost savings is expected. The savings will be achieved by all four business segments and the corporate center.
Fresenius anticipates that achieving these sustainable efficiency improvements will require up-front expenses of more than €200 million in 2022 and further expenses of
around €100 million in 2023, in each case after taxes and minority interest. No further significant expenses are expected thereafter.
In line with previous practice, these expenses are classified as special items (see also reconciliation tables on pages 25 to 27).
The healthcare sector is one of the world's largest industries and we are convinced that it shows excellent growth opportunities.
Healthcare structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identified in order to contain the steadily rising healthcare expenditures. However, such measures cannot compensate for the cost pressure. Market-based elements are increasingly being introduced into the healthcare system to create incentives for cost- and quality-conscious behavior. Overall treatment costs will be reduced through improved quality standards.
In addition, ever-greater importance is being placed on disease prevention and innovative reimbursement models linked to treatment quality standards.
The industry-specific framework for the operating business of the Fresenius Group remained essentially unchanged in the first Quarter of 2022.
The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the economic environment of the Fresenius Group. We demonstrated our special responsibility as part of the healthcare system even under the difficult circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With our products, services, and therapies, we have made many important contributions worldwide.
The war between Russia and Ukraine, could have a significant negative impact on our net assets, financial position and results of operations. While the direct and indirect impact of the war is difficult to predict at the present time, price increases including gas and oil prices, could lead to, amongst others, higher costs for energy, manufacturing of supplies and transportation of goods.Further explanations can be found in the opportunity and risk report.
The legal framework for the operating business of the Fresenius Group remained essentially unchanged.
We carefully monitor and evaluate country-specific, political, legal, and financial conditions.
Group sales increased by 8% (5% in constant currency) to €9,720 million (Q1/ 21: €8,984 million). Organic growth was 3%. Acquisitions /divestitures contributed net 2% to growth. Currency translation increased sales growth by 3%. Excluding estimated COVID-19 effects1, Group sales growth would have been 5% to 6% in constant currency (Q1/ 21: 4% to 5%).

Group operating cash flow decreased to €101 million (Q1/21: €652 million) with a margin of 1.0% (Q1/21: 7.3%), mainly driven by working capital build-up from higher raw material inventories and receivables, among others, as well as phasing effects. Free cash flow before acquisitions and dividends decreased to -€255 million (Q1/21: €241 million). Free cash flow after acquisitions and dividends decreased to -€403 million (Q1/ 21: €117 million).

Group total assets increased by 2% (0% in constant currency) to €73,114 million (Dec. 31, 2021: €71,962 million) given currency translation effects and the expansion of business activities. Current assets increased by 3% (2% in constant currency) to €18,002 million (Dec. 31, 2021: €17,461 million), mainly driven by the increase of trade accounts receivables. Non-current assets increased by 1% (0% in constant currency) to €55,112 million (Dec. 31, 2021: €54,501 million).
Total shareholders' equity increased by 4% (3% in constant currency) to €30,584 million (Dec. 31, 2021: €29,288 million). The equity ratio was 41.8% (Dec. 31, 2021: 40.7%).

As of March 31, 2022, the net debt/EBITDA ratio increased to 3.60x1,2 (Dec. 31, 2021: 3.51x1,2) mainly driven by COVID-19 effects weighing on operating cash flow.

EBIT decreased by 27% (-30% in constant currency) to €348 million (Q1/ 21: €474 million) resulting in a margin of 7.6% (Q1/ 21: 11.3%). EBIT before special items, i.e. costs incurred for FME25 and the impact related to the war in Ukraine, decreased by 15% (-19% in constant currency) to €403 million (Q1/ 21: €477 million), resulting in a margin1 of 8.9% (Q1/ 21: 11.3%). At constant currency, the
decline was mainly due to higher labor costs, adverse COVID-19-related effects, as well as inflationary and supply chain cost increases. These effects were only partially mitigated by the partial reversal of an accrual related to a revenue recognition adjustment for accounts receivable in legal dispute.
Net income2 decreased by 37% (-39% in constant currency) to €157 million (Q1/ 21: €249 million). Net income2 before special items decreased by 20% (-23% in constant currency) to €200 million (Q1/21: €251 million) mainly due to the mentioned negative effects on operating income.
Operating cash flow was €159 million (Q1/ 21: €208 million) with a margin of 3.5% (Q1/ 21: 4.9%). The decrease was mainly due to continued recoupment of the U.S. government's payments received in 2020 under the CARES Act and a decrease in net income, partially offset by a favorable impact from trade accounts and other receivables.

Sales increased by 5% (1% in constant currency) to €1,847 million (Q1/ 21: €1,761 million). Organic growth was 1%. Positive currency translation effects of 4% were mainly related to the U.S. dollar and Chinese yuan.
Sales in North America increased by 4% (organic growth: -3%) to €579 million (Q1/ 21: €558 million). The organic revenue decrease was mainly due to high level of COVID-related absenteeism of production staff and ongoing competitive pressure.
Sales in Europe increased by 2% (organic growth: 2%) to €640 million (Q1/ 21: €626 million) mainly driven by increasingly normalizing volume demand given progressing recovery of elective treatments.
Sales in Asia-Pacific increased by 10% (organic growth: 3%) to €433 million (Q1/ 21: €392 million), due to solid growth across the region. In China, higher sales of products not affected by the NVBP (National Volume-Based Procurement) tenders contributed positively.
Sales in Latin America/Africa increased by 5% (organic growth: 2%) to €195 million (Q1/ 21: €185 million), over a high prior-year COVID-19-related base.
Sales in the Biosimilars business was €23 million, consistent with Fresenius Kabi's expectations.
EBIT1 increased by 6% (0% in constant currency) to €293 million (Q1/ 21: €276 million) with an EBIT margin1 of 15.9% (Q1/ 21: 15.7%). The high level of absenteeism of production staff primarily due to COVID-19, ongoing competitive pressure, supply chain challenges as well as input cost inflation weighed on the financial performance.

Net income1,2 increased by 6% (increased by 1% in constant currency) to €201 million (Q1/ 21: €190 million).
Operating cash flow decreased to €133 million (Q1/ 21: €278 million) with a margin of 7.2% (Q1/ 21: 15.8%) mainly driven by a working capital build-up from e.g. higher raw material inventories.
For FY/ 22, Fresenius Kabi confirms its outlook and expects organic sales3 growth in a low-single-digit percentage range. Constant currency EBIT4 is expected to decline in a high-single- to low-double-digit percentage range. Both sales and EBIT outlook include expected COVID-19 effects.
In March, the acquisitions of Ivenix and a majority stake in mAbxience were announced. mAbxience significantly enhances Fresenius Kabi's presence in the highgrowth biopharmaceuticals market. The acquisition of Ivenix, closed at the beginning of May, strengthens the company's MedTech business. The financial effects from both acquisitions are excluded from guidance.

Sales increased by 11% (11% in constant currency) to €2,931 million (Q1/21: €2,649 million). Organic growth was 8%. Acquisitions, mainly at Helios Fertility, contributed 3% to sales growth.
Sales of Helios Germany increased by 7% (organic growth: 5%) to €1,783 million (Q1/ 21: €1,673 million), mainly driven by increasing admissions, which are however still below pre-pandemic levels. Hence growth was supported by COVID-19-related reimbursement schemes. Acquisitions contributed 1% to sales growth.
Sales of Helios Spain increased by 12% (12% in constant currency) to €1,089 million (Q1/ 21: €976 million). Organic growth of 11% was driven by consistently high activity levels. The hospitals in Latin America also contributed to sales growth. Acquisitions contributed 1% to sales growth.

EBIT1 increased by 14% (15% in constant currency) to €306 million (Q1/ 21: €268 million) with an EBIT margin1 of 10.4% (Q1/ 21: 10.1%).
EBIT1 of Helios Germany increased by 3% to €154 million (Q1/21: €150 million) with an EBIT margin1 of 8.6% (Q1/ 21: 9.0%). COVID-related elevated staff absenteeism at the beginning of the quarter weighed on profitability. Inflationary effects had only a small negative impact.
EBIT1 of Helios Spain increased by 21% (22% in constant currency) to €153 million (Q1/ 21: €126 million) due to the consistently high level of treatments. The Latin American business also showed a good performance. The EBIT margin1 was 14.0% (Q1/ 21: 12.9%).

For FY/ 22, Fresenius Helios confirms its outlook and expects organic sales3 growth in a low- to mid-single-digit percentage range and constant currency EBIT4 growth in a mid-single-digit percentage range. Both sales and EBIT outlook include expected COVID-19 effects.

Compared to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the management report as of December 31, 2021 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS, there has been the following important developments in Fresenius' overall opportunities and risk situation until March 31, 2022.
Russia's war against the Ukraine, could have a significant negative impact on our net assets, financial position, and results of operations.
As a provider of life-sustaining medical products and healthcare services, we are continuing our activities in both, Russia, and Ukraine to the best of our ability despite the war and the restrictions resulting from the extensive economic sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus by numerous governments. However, we cannot exclude that operations in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus are impacted by the destruction of assets, expropriation or other regulatory actions. In addition to such risks, considerable uncertainties are related to a possible deterioration of the global macroeconomic outlook. While the direct and indirect impact of the war is difficult to predict at the present time, price increases including gas and oil prices, could lead to, amongst others, higher costs for energy, manufacturing of supplies and transportation of goods. A potential disruption in energy supplies from Russia may have additional adverse effects on our business, as well as an expansion of the war beyond the borders of Ukraine with significant consequences for Europe as a whole. Furthermore, our ability to access capital could be impacted by increases in interest rates. Overall, the abovementioned factors could have a negative impact on our net assets, financial position, and results of operations.
The global COVID-19 pandemic, continued to adversely affect our business in the first months of 2022. We expect further negative effects on our business and result of operations for the second quarter of 2022. The further development of the worldwide situation in 2022 remains uncertain and depends on the progress of the vaccination campaigns worldwide as well as the extent to which further virus variants spread and whether governmental responses in the regions we operate or source from. An unfavorable development may result in additional adverse effects on our financial results and our ability to achieve our Guidance.
In the ordinary course of Fresenius Group's operations, the Fresenius Group is subject to litigation, arbitration as well as external and internal investigations relating to various aspects of its business.
The Fresenius Group regularly analyzes current information about such matters for probable losses and provides accruals for such matters, including estimated expenses for legal services, as appropriate.
We report on legal proceedings on pages 49 to 50 in the Notes of this report.
April 2022 was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with continuing high infection numbers. Large-scale constraints of public and private life are still enacted in various countries in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19. The vaccination programs were continued worldwide and the development in each country differs. The further development of the global situation and its impact on Fresenius remain uncertain. Cost inflation and supply chain disruption continues to be a theme on a global level.
The ongoing war from Russia against the Ukraine may have direct and indirect negative effects on the Fresenius Group's business activities, which, however, cannot be estimated at present.
Information on changes to the Management Board are provided on page 20.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the industry environment. Also otherwise there have been no further events with a significant impact on the net assets, financial position and results of operations since the end of the first quarter of 2022.
COVID-19 will continue to impact Fresenius' operations in 2022. Fresenius expects COVID-19 case numbers to decline going forward and consequently the number of elective treatments and staff availability to improve. An unlikely but possible significant deterioration of the situation triggering containment measures that could have a significant and direct impact on the healthcare sector without any appropriate compensation is not reflected in the Group's FY/ 22 guidance.
The war in Ukraine is affecting Fresenius Group's operations. The adverse effect of the war amounted to €14 million at net income level of Fresenius Group in the first quarter and is treated as a special item. Fresenius will continue to monitor closely the potential effects of the war.
With the increased uncertainty and volatility related to the Ukraine war, Fresenius now expects more pronounced cost inflationary effects and supply chain disruptions in 2022.
The Management Board assumes an unchanged corporate tax rate in the United States.
Furthermore, the assumptions for Fresenius Medical Care's FY/22 guidance are also fully applicable to Fresenius Group's FY/ 22 guidance.
All of these assumptions are subject to considerable uncertainty.
The recently announced acquisitions of Ivenix and the majority stake in mAbxience as well as any further potential acquisitions are excluded from guidance.
For FY/ 22, Fresenius confirms its guidance and projects sales growth1 in a mid-single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Net income2,3 is expected to grow in a low-single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Implicitly, net income2 for the Group excluding Fresenius Medical Care is also expected to grow in a low-single-digit percentage range in constant currency.
Without further acquisitions4, Fresenius projects an improvement of the net debt/EBITDA5 ratio (December 31, 2021: 3.51x6) into the self-imposed target corridor of 3.0x to 3.5x by the end of 2022. Fresenius expects the net debt/EBITDA ratio to slightly increase once the acquisitions of Ivenix and the majority stake in mAbxience are closed.
In 2022, we expect sales and earnings development in our business segments as shown in the table on page 23.
The Group's cost and efficiency program is evolving according to plan and Fresenius confirms its increased savings targets provided in February 2022 of at least €150 million p.a. after tax and minority interest in 2023. For the years thereafter, a further significant increase in sustainable cost savings is expected.
For 2022, we do not expect selling, general, and administrative expenses (before special items) as a percentage of consolidated net sales to change significantly compared to 2021 (2021: 14.1%).

For 2022, we expect an operating cash flow margin in the range of 10% to 12%.
In addition, undrawn credit lines under syndicated or bilateral credit facilities from banks provide us with a sufficient financial headroom.
Financing activities in 2022 are largely geared to refinancing existing financial liabilities maturing in 2022 and 2023.
Without further acquisitions1, Fresenius projects an improvement of the net debt/EBITDA2 ratio (December 31, 2021: 3,51×3) into the self-imposed target corridor of 3.0× to 3.5× by the end of 2022. Fresenius expects the net debt/EBITDA ratio to slightly increase once the acquisitions of Ivenix and the majority stake in mAbxience are closed.
There are no significant changes in the financing strategy planned for 2022.
In 2022, we expect to invest about 6% of sales in property, plant and equipment. About 45% of the capital expenditure planned will be invested at Fresenius Medical Care, about 23% at Fresenius Kabi, and around 27% at Fresenius Helios.
At Fresenius Medical Care, investments will primarily be used for the expansion of production capacity, optimizing production costs, and the establishment of new dialysis clinics.
Fresenius Kabi will primarily invest in expanding and maintaining production facilities, as well as in introducing new manufacturing technologies.
At Fresenius Helios, we will primarily invest in the new buildings, and in the modernizing and equipping of existing hospitals, newly acquired hospitals, and outpatient centers.
Fresenius Vamed primarily invests in modernization as well as equipment for existing post-acute care facilities.
With a share of around 60%, Europe is the regional focus of investment in the planning period. Around 30% of the investments are planned for North America and around 10% for Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. About 30% of total funds will be invested in Germany.
For 2022, we assume that the return on operating assets (ROOA 2021: 6.5%) and the return on invested capital (ROIC 2021: 5.9%) will remain on prior year level.
/divestitures; excluding further potential acquisitions; before special items; including lease liabilities
For 2022, we do not expect the equity ratio to change significantly compared to 2021 (2021: 41%). Furthermore, we expect debt in relation to total assets to remain around the prior year's level (2021: 38%).
The dividend increases provided by Fresenius in the last 28 years show impressive continuity. Our dividend policy aims to align dividends with earnings-per-share growth (before special items). The payout ratio is expected to be in the range of approximately 20% to 25%. Fresenius intends to increase the dividend for 2022.

The consolidated segment reporting is an integral part of the notes.
Fresenius is a global health care group with products and services for dialysis, hospitals and outpatient medical care. In addition, the Fresenius Group focuses on hospital operations and also manages projects and provides services for hospitals and other health care facilities worldwide. Besides the activities of the parent company Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. H., Germany, the operating activities are organized amongst the following legally independent business segments as of March 31, 2022:
The reporting and functional currency of the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to improve the clarity of presentation, amounts are generally presented in million euros. Amounts less than €1 million, after rounding, are marked with ''0''.
Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA, as a stock exchange listed company with a domicile in a member state of the European Union (EU), fulfills its obligation to prepare and publish the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and applying Section 315e of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
The consolidated interim financial statements and accompanying condensed notes are prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. The primary financial statements are presented in the format consistent with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021. The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Standards and interpretations in effect on the reporting date, and endorsed in the EU, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC).
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same general accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and interim management report for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 have not been audited nor reviewed and should be read in conjunction with the notes included and published in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.
Except for the reported acquisitions (see note 2, Acquisitions, divestitures and investments), there have been no other material changes in the Fresenius Group's consolidation structure.
The consolidated financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 include all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Management Board, are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the assets and liabilities, financial position and results of operations of the Fresenius Group.
The results of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year 2022.
Comparative information for certain items have been reclassified to conform with current year's presentation.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Fresenius Group received reimbursement payments and funding from various governments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been accounted for in accordance with terms and regulations set forth in by the local laws and regulations.
In Germany, the hospitals of the Fresenius Group have received reimbursements and grants in the first quarter of 2022 to compensate for COVID-19 related financial charges. In the first quarter of 2022, the German hospitals of the Fresenius Group received total reimbursements and grants of €166 million (Q1/2021: €216 million), of which €158 million (Q1 / 2021: €207 million) were recorded in sales and €8 million (Q1 / 2021: €9 million) as grants in other operating income.
In the United States, Fresenius Medical Care North America received government grants from the U.S. government in the amount of €16 million (Q1/ 2021: €7 million). The remaining amount of government grants received recorded in deferred income was US\$46 million (€41 million) at March 31, 2022 and US\$62 million (€55 million) at December 31, 2021. The Fresenius Group also recorded a contract liability for advance payments received under the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Accelerated and Advance Payment program which is currently recorded within short-term provisions and other short-term liabilities. Contract liabilities related to the CMS Accelerated and
Advance Payment program were US\$252 million (€227 million) and US\$443 million (€391 million) as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
In addition to the programs above, the Fresenius Group also received grants and other reimbursements in the first quarter of 2022 under various other programs from multiple governments around the world in the amount of €10 million (Q1 / 2021: €6 million).
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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Fresenius Group has prepared its consolidated financial statements at and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 in conformity with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, that must be applied for the interim periods starting on or after January 1, 2022.
For the first quarter of 2022, there were no recently implemented accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Fresenius Group's consolidated financial statements.
V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED The IASB issued the following new standards relevant for the Fresenius Group's business:
In January 2020, the IASB issued Amendments to IAS 1, Classification of Liabilities as Current and Noncurrent. The amendments clarify under which circumstances debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. Among others, the amendments state that liabilities shall be classified depending on rights that exist at the end of the reporting period and define under which conditions liabilities might be settled by cash, other economic resources or equity. On July 15, 2020, the IASB deferred the effective date by one year to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the amendments. The amendments to IAS 1 are now effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments to IAS 1 on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts. In June 2020 and December 2021, further amendments were published. 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. On June 25, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 17, which among others, defer the effective date to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier adoption is permitted for entities that have also adopted IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, and IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 17 on the consolidated financial statements.
The EU Commission's endorsement of the amendments to IAS 1 is still outstanding.
In the Fresenius Group's view, there are no other IFRS standards or interpretations not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Fresenius Group made acquisitions, investments and purchases of intangible assets of €162 million and €149 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Of this amount, €125 million was paid in cash and €37 million was assumed obligations in the first quarter of 2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, Fresenius Medical Care spent €83 million (Q1/2021: €131 million) on acquisitions, mainly on the purchase of dialysis clinics.
On March 21, Fresenius Medical Care announced that it had entered into an agreement to create a company that combines Fresenius Health Partners, Inc., the value-based care division of Fresenius Medical Care North America, with InterWell Health LLC, a physician organization driving innovation in the kidney care space in the U.S., and Cricket Health, Inc., a U.S. provider of value-based kidney care with a patient engagement and data platform. The business combination brings together Fresenius Health Partners'
expertise in kidney care value-based contracting and performance, InterWell Health's clinical care models and network of 1,600 nephrologists and Cricket Health's techenabled care model that utilizes its proprietary informatics, StageSmart™ and patient engagement platforms to create an entity targeting the management of care for more than 270,000 people with kidney disease by 2025 and to manage around US\$11 billion (€10 billion) in medical costs in the same year. The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory review and, if successful, the new entity will be consolidated into Fresenius Medical Care's operating results.
In the first quarter of 2022, Fresenius Kabi spent €2 million (Q1/ 2021: €1 million) on acquisitions, for subsequent purchase price payments for acquisitions from previous years.
On March 31, 2022, Fresenius Kabi announced that it has agreed to acquire a stake of 55% of mAbxience Holding S.L. (mAbxience). The purchase price will be a combination of €495 million upfront payment and milestone payments, strictly tied to the achievement of commercial and development targets. The contractual provisions also include a
put/ call option scheme regarding the current owners' remaining shares in mAbxience (45%). mAbxience is a leading international biopharmaceutical company, focused on the rapidly developing market for the development and manufacturing of biological drugs (biosimilars). The company currently employs approximately 600 staff and generated sales of approximately €255 million in 2021. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close by mid-2022.
Also on March 31, 2022, Fresenius Kabi announced that it has agreed to acquire Ivenix, Inc. (Ivenix), a specialized infusion therapy company. The purchase price will be a combination of US\$240 million upfront payment and milestone payments, strictly linked to the achievement of commercial and operating targets. The acquisition of Ivenix was closed at the beginning of May 2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, Fresenius Helios spent €72 million (Q1/ 2021: €17 million) on acquisitions, mainly for the purchase of an oncology clinic and an ophthalmology care center in Colombia as well as the acquisition of a clinic in Spain.
On April 14, 2021, Fresenius Helios has finalized the complete acquisition of Luarmia S.L., Spain, holding company of all worldwide activities of the Eugin group, and of NMC Eugin US Corporation from NMC Health (together the Eugin Group), one of the leading international fertility groups. The purchase price is based on a valuation of €430 million. It includes acquired noncontrolling interests and debt of approximately €80 million. The noncontrolling interests are held by the respective senior doctors. The Eugin Group has been consolidated as of April 1, 2021.
Eugin Group's network comprised at the time of the acquisition 31 clinics and additional 34 sites across 9 countries on 3 continents. With about 1,300 employees, the company offers a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art services in the field of fertility treatments. With the acquisition of the Eugin Group, Fresenius Helios becomes a leading player in the dynamically growing market for fertility services and establishes a strong basis for further expansion.
The acquisition was financed through available cash and credit facilities. The purchase price was paid in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination whereby assets and liabilities and noncontrolling interests are recognized at their fair values.
Based on the purchase price allocation, intangible assets in the amount of €41 million and a goodwill of €348 million which is not deductible for tax purposes were recorded for the initial statement of financial position of the Eugin Group. Goodwill mainly represents the market position of the acquired fertility hospitals and employee know-how.
Since January 1, 2022, the Eugin Group forms a new and separate Fresenius Helios business and reporting unit, Helios Fertility, alongside Helios Germany and Helios Spain.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Eugin Group has contributed €57 million to sales and €4 million to the operating income (EBIT) of the Fresenius Group.
In the first quarter of 2022, Fresenius Vamed spent €6 million (Q1/ 2021: €0 million) on acquisitions, mainly for the purchase of one rehabilitation clinic each in the United Kingdom and Germany.

As of January 1, 2022, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA consisted of 558,502,143 bearer ordinary shares.

Under the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the amount of dividends available for distribution to shareholders is based upon the unconsolidated retained earnings of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA as reported in its statement of financial position determined in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB).
The general partner and the Supervisory Board of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA will propose a dividend of €0.92 per bearer ordinary share to the virtual Annual General Meeting taking place on May 13, 2022, i.e. a total dividend payment of €514 million. Fresenius wants to give its shareholders the opportunity to opt to receive a portion of the dividend (Dividend Option Portion) in Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA shares. The remaining portion of the dividend (Dividend Base Portion) will always be paid in cash.
The Fresenius Group 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 Fresenius Group currently deems to be material or noteworthy are described below. The Fresenius Group records its litigation reserves for certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters to the extent that the Fresenius Group determines an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. For the other matters described below, the Fresenius Group believes that the loss is not probable 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 Fresenius Group's view of the merits can occur. The Fresenius Group 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.
Further information regarding legal disputes, court proceedings and investigations can be found in detail in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS. In the following, only changes as far as content or wording are concerned during the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the information provided in the consolidated financial statements are described. These changes should be read in conjunction with the overall information in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS; defined terms or abbreviations having the same meaning as in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS.
In February 2022, Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA (FMC-AG &Co. KGaA) received a formal request for information from the Hessen Data Protection Authority (Hessischer Beauftragter für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit or HBDI). The information request relates to specific data processing functions of a few of FMC-AG&Co. KGaA's peritoneal dialysis devices. FMC-AG&Co. KGaA is committed to comply with the HBDI's request and cooperate with them, and it is working to provide the relevant information.
On March 20 and April 12, 2022, respectively, an attorney employed as general counsel for FMC-AG&Co. KGaA's North American division from 2013 to 2016 filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other anti-retaliation statutes, and a civil lawsuit in Suffolk County, Massachusetts seeking compensation for personnel management decisions allegedly adverse to him. OSHA Case No. 1-076-22-049; Kott v. National Medical Care, Inc., Case No. 22-802 (Superior Court, Suffolk County, Mass.)
The plaintiff alleges in support of his demands for compensation that he was transferred to a subordinate position in the global legal department, and subsequently terminated from employment as part of the FME 25 reorganization, in retaliation for legal advice he provided with respect to a licensing agreement with DaVita relating to pharmaceutical operations and products. The DaVita licensing agreement expired by its terms in 2017.
As previously disclosed in FMC-AG&Co. KGaA's financial statements, the United States Department of Justice has reviewed multiple aspects of the DaVita contract in question, including those relevant to the plaintiff's allegations. No enforcement action has resulted against FMC-AG &Co. KGaA.
Other bases of retaliation alleged by the plaintiff implicate internal personnel and privacy protection concerns that do not impact ongoing operations, and on which FMC-AG &Co. KGaA does not comment.
On April 21, 2022, the U.S. FDA recommended that Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. (FMCH) temporarily pause shipping of new dialysis machines in the United States. FMCH has accepted the recommendation and will not resume shipping before notifying the FDA. The temporary pause implicates a machine component that was already scheduled to be replaced later in 2022.
The FDA's recommendation was made in the course of implementing a bio-compatibility risk assessment process recently recommended by the FDA, and voluntarily initiated by FMCH, that allows the FDA and medical device
manufacturers to explore previously unknown or unaddressed bio-compatibility risks for which there is otherwise no reporting requirement before administrative actions, if any, are deemed appropriate or necessary.
In light of the already-scheduled component replacement and the availability of excess machine capacity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, FMC-AG&Co. KGaA does not expect the temporary shipping pause to have a material financial impact.
Carrying amounts of financial instruments
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts of financial instruments by item of the statement of financial position and structured according to categories were as follows:

KGaA Long Term Incentive Program 2013 (2013 LTIP) which is based on stock options and phantom stocks and the Long Term Incentive Plan 2018 (LTIP 2018) which is solely based on performance shares. Currently, solely LTIP 2018 can be used to grant performance shares.
During the first quarter of 2022, no stock options were exercised.
At March 31, 2022, 4,961,507 stock options issued under the 2013 LTIP were outstanding and exercisable. The members of the Fresenius Management SE Management Board held 603,281 stock options. At March 31, 2022, the Management Board members of Fresenius Management SE held 582,234 performance shares and employees of Fresenius SE &Co. KGaA held 2,335,676 performance shares under the LTIP 2018.
On March 1, 2022, 212,715 performance shares with a total fair value of €11 million were allocated under the Management Board Long Term Incentive Plan 2020 to the members of the Management Board and to senior members of Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA's managerial staff who serve on Fresenius Medical Care AG &Co. KGaA's Executive Committee (Executive Committee). Of this number, 153,072 performance shares with a total fair value of €8 million relate to members of the Management Board and 59,643 performance shares with a total fair value of €3 million relate to members of the Executive Committee.

April was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with continuing high infection numbers. Large-scale constraints of public and private life are still enacted in various countries in order to curtail the spread of COVID-19. The vaccination programs were continued worldwide and the development in each country differs. The further development of the global situation and its impact on Fresenius remain uncertain. Cost inflation and supply chain disruption continues to be a theme on a global level.
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine may have direct and indirect negative effects on the Fresenius Group's business activities, which, however, cannot be estimated at present.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the Fresenius Group's operating environment following the end of the first quarter of 2022. No other events of material importance on the assets and liabilities, financial position, and results of operations of the Group have occurred following the end of the first quarter of 2022.
On May 4, 2022, Fresenius announced, that the Fresenius Management SE Supervisory Board has unanimously appointed Sara Hennicken (41), currently Senior Vice President Global Treasury&Corporate Finance at Fresenius, to become the company's new Chief Financial Officer as of September 1, 2022. She will succeed Rachel Empey (45), who joined the Management Board of Fresenius as CFO on August 1, 2017 and will leave the company at her own request at the end of August.
On May 4, 2022, Fresenius Medical Care announced, that Dr.Carla Kriwet (51) will become the new CEO of Fresenius Medical Care, the world's leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, on January 1, 2023. The Supervisory Board of Fresenius Medical Care Management AG unanimously appointed her to succeed Rice Powell (66), who in accordance with the company's age limit for Management Board members is stepping down when his contract ends on December 31, 2022, after 10 years heading the company. Like Rice Powell, Dr.Carla Kriwet will also be a member of the Management Board of Fresenius Management SE. Helen Giza, Chief Financial Officer of Fresenius Medical Care, will enter a new fiveyear contract, and in addition to her current positions as CFO and CTO will assume the position of Deputy CEO.
