3 Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA; before special items
Due to rising vaccination rates in many relevant markets and strong government support, the global economy continued to recover in the third quarter of 2021. This development strengthened economic activity and employment rates during this period. However, supply constraints, a rise in inflation and the spread of the more contagious delta variant of COVID-19 are affecting short-term growth prospects.
Capital markets and global investment levels remained stable, benefiting from government stimulus measures and favorable financing conditions. Vaccination progress is expected to reduce the impact of the pandemic, yet uncertainties remain about the global economic outlook.
According to the ECB's current forecast, the economy in the euro zone will grow by 5.0% this year. The ECB left its key interest rate unchanged at 0.00% during its September meeting.
The Federal Reserve's latest forecast projects the U.S. economy to grow by 5.9% in 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve did not change the existing interest rates corridor of 0% to 0.25% at its September meeting.
Within this economic environment, the DAX increased by 11% in the first nine months of 2021 to 15,261 points.
The charts opposite show the shareholder structure as of the last survey as of June 30, 2021. The Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung was the largest shareholder of Fresenius SE&Co.

The 10 largest investors held about 18% (December 31, 2021: 20%) of the share capital. Our shares were mostly held by investors in Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Fresenius improves FY/21 Group guidance for the second time after good Q3 results
Our goal is to expand Fresenius' position as a leading global provider of products, services, and therapies for critically and chronically ill people. In line with our corporate purpose ''Forward thinking health care to improve the quality of life of patients'', Fresenius develops innovative, affordable, and profitable solutions for the megatrends of health and demographics. Our mission is to offer better medicine and better health care services to ever more people. Every business decision we make is consistently guided by the wellbeing of our patients. It is at the center of everything we do. At the same time, we want to grow profitably and use our capital efficiently.
Fresenius is living up to its special responsibility as part of the health care system, even under the difficult circumstances of the current COVID-19 pandemic. With our products, services, and therapies, we have made an important contribution combating the pandemic worldwide. In our view, there is no need to adjust our strategy and goals due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the beginning of 2021, Fresenius has defined three phases for the development of the company over the next years: Optimize, Grow, and Accelerate.
Consistent with this strategic roadmap, Fresenius initiated group-wide strategic efficiency initiatives focused on operational excellence and cost-saving measures, targeted strengthening of future growth areas and portfolio optimizations. These measures are expected to gradually result in cost savings of more than €100 million p.a. after tax and minority interest in 2023, with some potential to increase thereafter. Achieving these sustainable efficiencies will require significant up-front expenses. For the years 2021 to 2023, those expenses are expected to be more than €100 million p.a. after tax and minority interest on average, with the largest portion currently expected to materialize in 2022. They will be classified as special items, consistent with previous practice.
More detailed information on our strategy and performance criteria can be found in our 2020 Annual Report on page 42ff.
The health care sector is one of the world's largest industries and we are convinced that it shows excellent growth opportunities.
Health care structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identified in order to contain the steadily rising health care expenditures. However, such measures cannot compensate for the cost pressure. Market-based elements are increasingly being introduced into the health care 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 2021.
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 health care system even under the difficult circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. With our products, services, and therapies, we have made an important contribution combating the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. Despite partial government compensation, COVID-19 had an overall negative effect on the business in many of the Group's important markets.
Nevertheless, Fresenius has come through the COVID-19 pandemic in an economically robust manner so far. Once again, our company's business development has proven to be comparatively stable and largely independent of economic cycles. Our diversification into four business segments and our global focus give the Group additional stability.
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.

2 Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA

Sales in Europe increased by 7% (organic: 5%) to €620 million (Q3/20: €581 million) supported by the ongoing recovery of elective treatments. In Q1-3/ 21, sales in Europe increased by 6% (organic: 5%) to €1,880 million (Q1-3/20: €1,778 million).
Sales in Asia-Pacific increased by 12% (organic: 8%) to €447 million (Q3/ 20: €399 million) mainly due to normalizing elective treatment activity in the region.

17% (organic: 16%) to €1,248 million (Q1-3/ 20: €1,069 million).

In Q1-3/ 21, EBIT1 increased by 2% (5% in constant currency) to €874 million (Q1-3/20: €859 million) with an EBIT margin of 16.3% (Q1-3/ 20: 16.6%).

Compared to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the management report as of December 31, 2020 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS, there has been the following important developments in Fresenius' overall opportunities and risk situation until November 1st, 2021.
The global COVID-19 pandemic, continued to adversely affect our business in the first nine months of 2021. We expect further adverse effects on our business and result of operations for the fourth quarter of 2021. The further development of the worldwide situation in 2021 remains uncertain and depends on the progress of the vaccination campaigns worldwide as well as the extent to which further virus variants spread. An unfavorable development may result in additional adverse effects on our financial results and our ability to achieve our Guidance.
We are currently observing cost increases and supply shortages which are having a negative impact on our business and operating result. These may persist or even intensify with potential resulting further negative impacts on our business and operating result.
A potential U.S. federal corporate tax increase of up to 7 percentage point as announced by U.S. President Joe Biden may have a negative impact on our net income in the current and in the coming fiscal years due to Fresenius' high proportion of business in the United States.
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 53 to 54 in the Notes of this report.
October was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with again rising 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.
Fresenius Kabi has developed a strategic plan to better capture existing and new growth opportunities. Given the sustainable growth potential as well as its already strong market position, Fresenius Kabi will continue to focus on products and services for the therapy and care of critically and chronically ill patients. Within that overarching direction, three growth vectors have been defined: (i) broaden the biopharmaceutical offering, (ii) roll-out clinical nutrition and (iii) expand in MedTech. In parallel, Fresenius Kabi aims at strengthening the resilience of its volume-driven IV business. Furthermore, Fresenius Kabi will increase its global competitiveness and advance its organizational effectiveness; one initial step is the implementation of a businessled rather than regional organization. Implementation plans are still being sharpened.
On November 2, 2021, Fresenius Medical Care announced further details on its FME25 program. With a significantly simplified future structure of two global operating segments -- Care Enablement and Care Delivery -- Fresenius Medical Care orients its operating model along the relevant future value drivers.
Based on the implementation of the new global operating model, Fresenius Medical Care assumes to reduce its annual cost base by €500 million by the end of 2025. Around 50% of these savings are expected to be realized by 2023. By the end of 2023 around 80% of the anticipated one-time investments in FME25, amounting to approximately €450 million to 500 million, are expected to be made. The investments will be treated as a special item. The Company thus expects to reach positive net savings by the end of 2023.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the industry environment. Also otherwise, with the exception of the amendment of the commercial paper program of Fresenius Medical Care as described in section 12 of the notes, Debt, there have been no further events with a significant impact on the assets and liabilities, financial position, and results of operations of the Group since the end of the third quarter of 2021.
Negative COVID-19 effects at Fresenius have increased sequentially in Q3/ 21, driven by significant excess patient mortality at Fresenius Medical Care. Fresenius expects also Q4/ 21 to be impacted by COVID-19 effects. Meaningfully rising COVID-19 case numbers, the further evolution of virus mutations as well as stalling vaccination progress could impact Fresenius' ability to achieve its FY/ 21 guidance. Additionally, Fresenius expects headwinds from cost inflation including rising commodity and shipping prices, increasing energy costs, as well as supply chain constraints in Q4/ 21. Hence, Fresenius remains vigilant.
Whilst the risk of renewed far-reaching containment measures in one or more of Fresenius' major markets cannot be excluded, it now appears unlikely. Any resulting significant and direct impact on the health care sector without appropriate compensation is not reflected in the Group's FY/ 21 guidance. These assumptions are subject to considerable uncertainty.
Based on the Group's good Q3/ 21 results and the progress to improve Group-wide efficiencies, Fresenius raises its sales guidance3 and improves its earnings guidance1,2. The Company now projects constant currency sales3 to grow in a mid single-digit range in FY/ 21. Previously, the Company projected sales3 growth in a low-to-mid single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Earnings1,2 growth in constant currency is now expected to be around the top-end of the low single-digit percentage range.
Implicitly, net income1 for the Group excluding Fresenius Medical Care is now expected to grow in a low double-digit percentage range in constant currency. Previously, Fresenius expected high single-digit percentage growth in constant currency.
The guidance implies ongoing COVID-19 related headwinds, primarily at Fresenius Medical Care, and increasingly noticeable cost inflation across selected markets in Q4/ 21. It also reflects negative pricing effects related to tender activity at Fresenius Kabi in China.
In 2021, we expect sales and earnings development in our business segments as shown in the table on page 25.
During Q3 / 21, Fresenius finalized the concept phase of its cost and efficiency program. At the same time, first initiatives were already implemented. Fresenius Medical Care is providing an update on its FME25 transformation program in addition to its Q3/ 21 results presentation.
Fresenius confirms its expectation that the measures to sustainably enhance profitability and operational excellence to reach cost savings of more than €100 million p.a. after tax and minority interest in 2023, with some potential to increase thereafter.
Achieving these sustainable efficiencies will require significant up-front expenses. For the years 2021 to 2023, those expenses are expected to average more than €100 million p.a. after tax and minority interest, with the largest portion currently expected to materialize in 2022. They will be classified as special items, consistent with previous practice.
Fresenius expects significant contributions from all four business segments and from the corporate center in the 2021 to 2023 period. For FY/21, low double-digit million Euro savings after tax and minority interest from the Group's cost and efficiency measures are expected to support the Group's profitability. These savings and efficiency gains derive from activities in all four business segments.
1 Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA
2 FY/20 base: €1,796 million, before special items; FY/21: before special items
3 FY/20 base: €36,277 million
4 At LTM average exchange rates for both net debt and EBITDA; pro forma closed acquisitions /divestitures; excluding further potential acquisitions; before special items
For 2021, we continue to expect selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated net sales not to change significantly compared to 2020 (2020: 13.7%).
For 2021, we continue to expect an operating cash flow margin in the range of 10% to 12%, lower than in FY/ 20 due to expected recoupment of prepaymets received in FY/20 under the CARES-Act in the United States at Fresenius Medical Care.
In addition, unused credit lines under syndicated or bilateral credit facilities from banks provide us with a sufficient financial cushion.
Financing activities in 2021 are largely geared to refinancing existing financial liabilities maturing in 2021 and 2022. A large part of the 2021 maturities, however, was already pre-financed with the issuance of bonds in 2020.
Based on expected lower contributions to Group EBITDA from Fresenius Medical Care as well as assumed cash phasing effects in Q4/ 21, Fresenius does not expect the net debt/EBITDA1 ratio of 3.55x as of September 30, 2021 to improve in Q4/ 21.
In 2021, we continue to 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 26% 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, in the modernizing and equipping of existing hospitals, and newly acquired hospitals. With a share of around 65%, Europe is the regional focus of investment in the planning period. Around 26% of the investments are planned for North America and around 9% for Asia, Latin America and Africa. About 35% of total funds will be invested in Germany.
We continue to assume that the return on operating assets (ROOA) will decrease by 50 to 100 basis points compared to the level of 2020 (2020: 7.3%) and the return on invested capital (ROIC) will decrease by 40 to 70 basis points compared to the level of 2020 (2020: 6.5%).
For 2021, we continue to expect the equity ratio not to change significantly compared to 2020 (2020: 39%). Furthermore, we expect debt in relation to total assets to remain around prior year's level (2020: 39%).
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) and thus broadly maintains a payout ratio of 20% to 25%. Fresenius intends to increase the dividend for 2021.

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 September 30, 2021:
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, 2020. 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, 2020.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and interim management report for the first three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 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, 2020 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 three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 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 three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year 2021.
Comparative information for certain items has been reclassified to conform with current year's presentation.
In the business segment Fresenius Medical Care, in the consolidated statement of income, selling, general and administrative expenses related to the amortization of internally developed software and other costs in the amount of €25 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2020 have been reclassified to cost of sales.
Furthermore, in the business segment Fresenius Medical Care, in the consolidated statement of income, gain related to divestitures of Care Coordination activities in the amount of €32 million for the first three quarters ended September 30, 2020, which was previously presented separately, has been included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
In the first three quarters of 2021, 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.
The hospitals of the Fresenius Group in Germany have received reimbursements and grants in particular under the revised COVID-19 Hospital Relief Act (''Gesetz zum Ausgleich COVID-19 bedingter finanzieller Belastungen der Krankenhäuser und weiterer Gesundheitseinrichtungen'') in the first three quarters of 2021. The compensation reimbursements for reserved beds expired in May 2021. In the first three quarters of 2021 (until May 31, 2021), the German hospitals of the Fresenius Group received total reimbursements and grants of €398 million (Q1 -- 3 / 2020: €300 million), of which €369 million were recorded in sales and €29 million as grants in other operating income, respectively.
In 2020, Fresenius Medical Care North America received in the United States relief funding under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (CARES Act) from the U.S. government. The remaining amounts recorded in deferred income were US\$7 million (€6 million) and US\$22 million (€18 million) at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In 2020, the Fresenius Group also recorded a contract liability for advance payments received under the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment program within short-term provisions and other short-term liabilities and long-term provisions and other
long-term liabilities. Contract liabilities related to the CMS Accelerated and Advance Payment program were US\$623 million (€538 million) and US\$1,046 million (€852 million) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
In addition to the programs above, the Fresenius Group also received grants and other reimbursements in the first three quarters of 2021 under various other programs from multiple governments around the world in the amount of €41 million (Q1-- 3/ 2020: €17 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 in conformity with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, that must be applied for the interim periods starting on or after January 1, 2021.
For the first three quarters of 2021, there were no recently implemented accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Fresenius Group's consolidated financial statements.
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. 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 endorsements of IFRS 17 and of the amendments to IAS 1 are 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 €807 million and €651 million in the first three quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of this amount, €764 million was paid in cash and €43 million was assumed obligations in the first three quarters of 2021.
In the first three quarters of 2021, Fresenius Medical Care spent €366 million (Q1-- 3/ 2020: €246 million) on acquisitions, mainly on the purchase of dialysis clinics.
In the first three quarters of 2021, Fresenius Kabi spent €1 million (Q1-- 3/ 2020: €17 million) on acquisitions, mainly for already planned acquisition related milestone payments relating to the acquisition of the biosimilars business.
In the first three quarters of 2021, Fresenius Helios spent €438 million (Q1-- 3/ 2020: €383 million) on acquisitions, mainly for the purchase of the Eugin Group. Furthermore, subsequent purchase price payments for the Malteser hospital in Duisburg, Germany, were made and the DRK Kliniken Nordhessen in Kassel, Germany, were acquired.
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. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon the best information available to management at present.
Due to the relatively short time frame between closing of the acquisition and the date of the statement of financial position, certain information may be incomplete. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, intangible assets in the amount of €41 million and a goodwill of €325 million which is not deductible for tax purposes were recorded for the initial statement of financial position of the Eugin Group. Any adjustments to acquisition accounting, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Goodwill mainly represents the market position of the acquired fertility hospitals and employee know-how.
As of January 1, 2022, the Eugin Group will form a new and separate Fresenius Helios business and reporting unit, Helios Fertility, alongside Helios Germany and Helios Spain.
In the first three quarters of 2021, the Eugin Group has contributed €82 million to sales and €14 million to the operating income (EBIT) of the Fresenius Group since April 1, 2021.
Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA for the first three quarters of 2021 in the amount of €1,319 million includes special items relating to the Fresenius cost and efficiency program (including the FME25 program).

On July 1, 2021, Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA (FMC-AG&Co. KGaA) entered into a new syndicated revolving credit facility of €2,000 million with a group of 34 core relationship banks (FMC Syndicated Credit Facility). It has a term of five years plus two one-year extension options and can be drawn in different currencies. The FMC Syndicated Credit Facility is currently undrawn and rather serves as
backup line for the company. In addition, a sustainability component has been embedded in the new credit facility. Based on this structure, the credit facility's margin may rise or fall depending on the company's sustainability performance. The new credit facility replaces the US\$900 million and €600 million revolving credit facilities (Fresenius Medical Care Credit Agreement), initially signed in 2012 and amended from time to time.

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 s 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, 2020 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS. In the following, only changes as far as content or wording are concerned during the first three quarters ended September 30, 2021 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, 2020 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, 2020 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS.
After both FMCH and FMC-AG&Co. KGaA moved to dismiss the complaint, the plaintiff moved on June 23, 2021 to dismiss the complaint voluntarily without prejudice. The court granted plaintiff's motion the same day.
Discovery in the litigation is complete.
The relator thereafter served the complaint and proceeded on his own in part by filing an amended complaint making broad allegations about financial relationships between FMCH and nephrologists. FMCH's motion to dismiss the amended complaint remains pending. On October 5, 2021, the District Court for Maryland granted FMCH's motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for Massachusetts, where the litigation continues. Flanagan v. Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., 1:21-cv-11627-DPW.
Trial in the civil litigation has been postponed because of COVID-19-related administrative issues and has been rescheduled for August 2022.
The District Court unsealed the complaint, allowing the relator to proceed on its own. On August 3, 2021, the District Court granted FMCH's motion to dismiss the relator's amended complaint, dismissed the case with prejudice and declined to allow further amendment. On August 27, 2021, the relator appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The subpoenas, and the subsequent investigation in which FMCH cooperated, were apparently predicated on but were not limited to a complaint filed on November 6, 2015 by two former employees. United States ex rel. Keasler et al. v. Fresenius Medical Care Rx, LLC, 03:15-Civ-01183 (M.D. Tenn. 2015). On August 17, 2021, the District Court dismissed the case without prejudice after the Nashville USAO declined to intervene and the relators elected not to proceed.
In relation to the remaining pending cases and the defendant Teva, trial took place for the first complaint (Case No. 1:18-cv-00390-MN) between January 19 and 22, 2021. Another patent newly listed in the Orange Book was added to the second complaint (Case No. 1:20-cv-00911-MN) on June 23, 2021. Trial is scheduled for the second complaint for June 2022.
On July 8, 2020, the U.S. government filed its answer (and confirmed their position) and litigation is continuing.
On March 25, 2021, FMCH received a grand jury subpoena issued from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Dallas). The subpoena sought documents comprising communications between employees of FMCH and DaVita and partially overlaps in content the 2018 Denver subpoena. The Dallas subpoena is part of a separate investigation by the Anti-Trust Division of the Department of Justice into possible employee ''no poaching'' and similar agreements to refrain from competition and is related to the indictments in United States v. Surgical Care Affiliates, 3:2021-Cr-0011 (N.D. Tex.) and United States v. DaVita, Inc. et al., 1:21-cr00229 (D. Col.). The unnamed co-conspirators described in the Surgical Care Affiliates and DaVita indictments do not include FMCH, FMC-AG &Co. KGaA, or any of their employees. FMCH understands that it has completed production of material sought under the subpoena.
The final agreement has received court sentencing and was implemented accordingly.
In March 2021, Fresenius Kabi and Eli Lilly have entered into a pan-European settlement pursuant to which, among other provisions, Fresenius Kabi undertakes to make a payment of US\$68.5 million to Lilly less the amount of €28 million already paid during the proceedings in France. In parallel, all court proceedings pending in Europe in relation to the patent in dispute are discontinued by the parties, including the proceedings in France. As of June 30, 2021, Fresenius Kabi has made all payments required under the settlement agreement.
FMCH completed remediation efforts with respect to one pending FDA warning letter and is awaiting confirmation as to whether the letter is now closed.

As of September 30, 2021, Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA had two share-based compensation plans in place: the Fresenius SE&Co. 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.
On September 13, 2021, Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA awarded 915,105 performance shares under the LTIP 2018, the total fair value at the grant date being €41 million, including 193,800 performance shares or €9 million awarded to the members of the Management Board of Fresenius Management SE. The fair value per performance share at the grant date was €44.75.
During the first three quarters of 2021, Fresenius SE& Co. KGaA received cash of €30 million from the exercise of 913,234 stock options.
Of the 5,037,069 outstanding stock options issued under the 2013 LTIP 5,029,289 were exercisable at September 30, 2021. The members of the Fresenius Management SE Management Board held 648,281 stock options. 38,592 phantom stocks issued under the 2013 LTIP were outstanding at September 30, 2021. The members of the Fresenius Management SE Management Board held 5,059 phantom stocks.
At September 30, 2021, the Management Board members of Fresenius Management SE held 582,234 performance shares and employees of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA held 2,367,562 performance shares under the LTIP 2018.
On September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the 2013 LTIP was €3 thousand. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years.
On July 26, 2021, 891,682 performance shares with a total fair value of €58 million were granted under the Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA Long Term Incentive Plan 2019. This amount will be amortized over the three-year vesting period. The weighted average fair value per performance share at the grant date was €64.58.
During the first three quarters of 2021, 117,639 stock options were exercised. Fresenius Medical Care AG&Co. KGaA received cash of €5.9 million upon exercise of these stock options.
October was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with again rising 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.
Fresenius Kabi has developed a strategic plan to better capture existing and new growth opportunities. Given the sustainable growth potential as well as its already strong market position, Fresenius Kabi will continue to focus on products and services for the therapy and care of critically and chronically ill patients. Within that overarching direction, three growth vectors have been defined: (i) broaden the biopharmaceutical offering, (ii) roll-out clinical nutrition and (iii) expand in MedTech. In parallel, Fresenius Kabi aims at strengthening the resilience of its volume-driven IV business. Furthermore, Fresenius Kabi will increase its global competitiveness and advance its organizational effectiveness; one initial step is the implementation of a businessled rather than regional organization. Implementation plans are still being sharpened.
On November 2, 2021, Fresenius Medical Care announced further details on its FME25 program. With a significantly simplified future structure of two global operating segments -- Care Enablement and Care Delivery -- Fresenius Medical Care orients its operating model along the relevant future value drivers.
Based on the implementation of the new global operating model, Fresenius Medical Care assumes to reduce its annual cost base by €500 million by the end of 2025. Around 50% of these savings are expected to be realized by 2023. By the end of 2023, around 80% of the anticipated onetime investments in FME25, amounting to approximately €450 million to €500 million, are expected to be made. The investments will be treated as a special item. The company thus expects to reach positive net savings by the end of 2023.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the Fresenius Group's operating environment following the end of the third quarter of 2021. Also otherwise, with the exception of the amendment of the commercial paper program of Fresenius Medical Care as described in note 12, Debt, there have been no further events with a significant impact on the assets and liabilities, financial position, and results of operations of the Group since the end of the third quarter of 2021.
For each consolidated stock exchange listed entity, the declaration pursuant to Section 161 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) has been issued and made available to shareholders on the website of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA (www.fresenius.com/corporate-governance), and of Fresenius Medical Care AG &Co. KGaA (www.freseniusmedicalcare.com).
