Due to rising vaccination rates in many major markets, government-imposed containment measures were partially eased during Q2 2021. This development strenghtened economic activity and employment in the second quarter of 2021. However, uncertainties remain as the overall global economic outlook continues to depend on the further course of the pandemic, including the spread of virus mutations. The capital markets and global investment levels remained stable, benefitting from economic stimulus measures taken by governments and favourable financing conditions.

To this end, Fresenius has continued to drive forward its ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) initiatives in the first half of 2021.
The Fresenius Group Sustainability Board (GSB) met three times. The focus was on the implementation of regulatory requirements such as the EU-Taxonomy, The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Sorgfaltspflichtengesetz) and Sustainable Finance.
The Management Board of Fresenius Management SE worked on sustainability key performance indicators for the Company's five material sustainability topics employees, quality /patients, compliance, environment, and innovation/ digitalization as part of its short-term ESG performance targets.

Fresenius raises Group earnings guidance after very strong Q2
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 the first half of 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, mainly due to restrictions imposed by the authorities in many of the Group's important markets.
Nevertheless, Fresenius has come through the COVID-19 pandemic in an economically robust manner in the first half of 2021. 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.

Sales of Fresenius Medical Care decreased by 5% (increased by 2% in constant currency) to €4,320 million (Q2/ 20: €4,557 million). Thus, currency translation had a negative effect of 7%. Organic growth was 1%. In H1/ 21, sales of Fresenius Medical Care decreased by 6% (increased by 2% in constant currency) to €8,530 million (H1/ 20: €9,045 million). Thus, currency translation had a negative effect of 8%. Organic growth was 1%.
EBIT decreased by 35% (-30% in constant currency) to €424 million (Q2/ 20: €656 million) resulting in a margin of 9.8% (Q2/ 20: 14.4%). EBIT before special items declined
by 34% to €430 million (-29% in constant currency; Q2/20: €656 million), resulting in a margin of 10.0% (Q2 / 20: 14.4%). The decrease was mainly due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a high prior-year base as a result of government relief funding, the expected phasing and increase in Sales, General and Administrative expense, negative exchange rate effects and higher direct costs. These effects were partially offset in particular by an improved Medicare Advantage payor mix in the U.S.
In H1 / 21, EBIT decreased by 26% (-20% in constant currency) to €898 million (H1/ 20: €1,211 million) resulting
in a margin of 10.5% (H1/ 20: 13.4%). EBIT before special items decreased by 25% (-19% in constant currency) to €907 million (Q2/ 20: €1,211 million) resulting in an EBIT margin of 10.6% (H1/ 20: 13.4%).

Operating cash flow was €921 million (Q2/ 20: €2,319 million) with a margin of 21.3% (Q2/20: 50.9%).

In H1/ 21, operating cash flow was €1,129 million (H1 / 20: €2,903 million) with a margin of 13.2% (H1/20: 32.1%).

Sales increased by 5% (8% in constant currency) to €1,755 million (Q2/ 20: €1,678 million). Organic growth was 7%. In H1/21, sales increased by 1% (6% in constant currency) to €3,516 million (H1/20: €3,467 million). Organic growth was 5%. Negative currency translation effects of 3% in Q2 and 5% in H1 were mainly related to the weakness of the US dollar, the Argentinian peso and the Brazilian real.
Sales in North America decreased by 13% (organic growth: -6%) to €522 million (Q2/ 20: €600 million). The decrease was driven by reduced volume demand given fewer elective treatments, consequential competitive pressure and, albeit receding, temporary manufacturing issues. These negative effects outweighed extra demand for COVID-19 related products. In H1/21, sales in North America decreased by 15% (organic growth: -8%) to €1,080 million (H1/ 20: €1,269 million).
Sales in Europe increased by 12% (organic growth: 10%) to €634 million (Q2/ 20: €566 million) supported by a low prior-year basis meaningfully impacted by COVID-19. In H1/ 21, sales in Europe increased by 5% (organic growth: 4%) to €1,260 million (H1/ 20: €1,197 million).
Sales in Asia-Pacific increased by 17% (organic growth: 17%) to €409 million (Q2/ 20: €351 million). The growth is mainly due to more normalized elective treatment activity in China as well as a recovery in other Asian markets. In H1/21, sales in Asia-Pacific increased by 20% (organic growth: 21%) to €801 million (H1/ 20: €670 million).
Sales in Latin America / Africa increased by 18% (organic growth: 24%) to €190 million (Q2/ 20: €161 million) due to ongoing COVID-19 related extra demand. In H1/ 21, sales in Latin America /Africa increased by 13% (organic growth: 26%) to €375 million (H1 / 20: €331 million).
EBIT1 increased by 2% (7% in constant currency) to €298 million (Q2/20: €292 million) with an EBIT margin of 17.0% (Q2/ 20: 17.4%). The increase in constant currency was tempered by underutilized production capacities in the US and competitive pressure coupled with selective supply constraints due to temporary, however receding, manufacturing issues. EBIT was supported by positive COVID-19 effects, lower corporate costs due to travel restrictions and phasing of projects. In H1/ 21, EBIT1 decreased by 1% (increased by 4% in constant currency) to €574 million (H1 / 20: €581 million) with an EBIT margin of 16.3% (H1/ 20: 16.8%).
Net income1,2 increased by 4% (9% in constant currency) to €204 million (Q2/ 201: €196 million). In H1/ 21, net income1,2 remained stable (increased by 6% in constant currency) at €394 million (H1/ 201: €393 million).
Operating cash flow decreased to €197 million (Q2/ 20: €437 million) with a margin of 11.2% (Q2/ 20: 26.0%) mainly due to the phasing of tax payments and payments for legal proceedings. In H1/ 21, operating cash flow decreased to €475 million (H1/20: €611 million) with a margin of 13.5% (H1/20: 17.6%).
For FY/ 21, Fresenius Kabi improves its EBIT outlook. The company now projects EBIT3 to grow in a low singledigit percentage range in constant currency. Previously, Fresenius Kabi expected a stable EBIT3 development up to low single-digit percentage growth. The company continues to expect organic sales growth4 in a low-to-mid singledigit percentage range. Both sales and EBIT outlook include expected COVID-19 effects.

€1,996 million (H1 / 20: €1,606 million). Organic growth was 24%.

Operating cash flow decreased to €223 million (Q2/ 20: €295 million) with a margin of 8.1% (Q1/20: 12.7%) resulting from the strong cash collection in Q2/20 related to accelerated payments of treatment invoices under the German law to ease the financial burden on hospitals. In H1 / 21, operating cash flow was on prior year level at €438 million (H1/ 20: €440 million) with a margin of 8.1% (H1/ 20: 9.2%).
For FY/ 21, Fresenius Helios improves its outlook: The company now expects organic sales2 growth in a mid singledigit percentage range. Previously, organic sales2 were expected to grow in a low-to-mid single-digit percentage range. Moreover, Fresenius Helios now projects EBIT3 to grow in a high single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Previously, EBIT3 was expected to grow in a midto-high single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Both sales and EBIT outlook include expected COVID-19 effects.
3 FY/20 base: €1,025 million; FY/21 before special items

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 development in Fresenius' overall opportunities and risk situation until August 2, 2021.
The global COVID-19 pandemic, continued to adversely affect our business in the first and second quarter of 2021. We expect further adverse effects on our business and result of operations for the second half 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 spread of further virus variants. This may result in additional adverse effects on our financial results and our ability to achieve our Guidance.
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 55 to 56 in the Notes of this report.
July was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with again rising infection numbers mainly due to the delta version. Largescale 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 the impact on Fresenius remain uncertain.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the industry environment. Furthermore, there have been no other events with a significant impact on the net assets, financial position and results of operations since the end of the first half of 2021.
Fresenius is covered by the rating agencies Moody's, Standard&Poor's and Fitch.

Whilst the pandemic exhibited a quite differentiated regional development, negative COVID-effects have -- consistent with expectations -- generally receded during Q2/ 21.
Fresenius had projected that the burdens and constraints caused by the pandemic will recede in the second half of the year. Now, however, the currently rising number of COVID-19 cases, the further evolution of COVID-19 virus mutations as well as stalling vaccination progress could all pose a threat to this assumption, and the company remains vigilant.
Whilst the risk of renewed far-reaching containment measures in one or more of Fresenius' major markets currently appears less likely, it cannot be excluded. 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 strong Q2 / 21 and the progress in the program to improve Group-wide efficiencies, where the company expects first savings already this year, Fresenius raises its 2021 earnings guidance. The Company now projects net income1,2 to grow in a low single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Previously, Fresenius expected an at least broadly stable net income1,2 development in constant currency. The Company continues to project sales growth3 in a low-to-mid single-digit percentage range in constant currency.
Implicitly, net income1 for the Group excluding Fresenius Medical Care is now expected to grow in a high single-digit percentage range in constant currency. Previously, Fresenius expected mid-to-high single-digit percentage growth in constant currency.
The guidance implies ongoing COVID-19 related headwinds in the second half of the year. It reflects negative pricing effects related to tender activity at Fresenius Kabi in China as well as increasingly noticeable cost inflation effects across selected markets.
Fresenius projects net debt/EBITDA4 to be around the top-end of the self-imposed target corridor of 3.0x to 3.5x by the end of FY/ 21.
In 2021, we expect sales and earnings development in our business segments as shown in the table on page 27.
To sustainably enhance profitability and operational excellence, Fresenius has launched group-wide efficiency initiatives. 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.
While an update on the comprehensive operating model review at Fresenius Medical Care is expected to be provided in fall 2021, the three other Fresenius business segments have already identified and launched initiatives in defined areas.
At Fresenius Kabi, these initiatives comprise the optimization of its production network, reduction of product portfolio complexity, centralization of worldwide purchasing and review of organizational and cost structures.
Fresenius Helios will put a focus on its strategic review of the hospital portfolio and ambulatory care network as well as on the reduction of G&A costs.
Fresenius Vamed will implement some dedicated structural and organizational measures, comprising the optimization of its global subsidiary structure, the review of its assets and shareholdings portfolio and the optimization of procurement and G&A costs.
These activities specific to the business segments will be complemented and supported by initiatives on the Fresenius group level, for example, the implementation of new ways of working at the corporate headquarters as well as a group-wide review of the IT operating model.
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.
The company expects significant contributions from all four business segments and from the corporate center in the 2021 to 2023 period. Hence, it is expected that the savings contributed by Fresenius Medical Care will not be overproportional.
For FY/21, initial low double-digit million € savings after tax and minority interest from the Group's above outlined 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.
Fresenius continues to project net debt/EBITDA1 to be around the top-end of the self-imposed target corridor of 3.0x to 3.5x by the end of FY/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 June 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 ''--''.
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 half and the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 have been reviewed by our auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt am Main, 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 half and the second quarter ended June 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 half and the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year 2021.
Comparative information for certain items have 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 acquired technology and other costs in the amount of €42 million for the first half ended June 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 €29 million for the first half ended June 30, 2020, which was previously presented separately, has been included within selling, general and administrative expenses.
In the first half 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 developments of the most significant programs in the first half of 2021 which have impacted the Fresenius Group's business are in Germany and the United States as follows:
The hospitals of the Fresenius Group in Germany have also in the first half of 2021 received reimbursements and grants under the revised COVID-19 Hospital Relief Act (''Gesetz zum Ausgleich COVID-19 bedingter finanzieller Belastungen der Krankenhäuser und weiterer Gesundheitseinrichtungen''). Since January 1, 2021, the compensation received for reserved beds is based on incidence values and is also linked to the sales in 2019.
In the first half of 2021, the German hospitals of the Fresenius Group received total reimbursements and grants of €388 million (H1 / 2020: €300 million), of which €365 million were recorded in sales and €23 million as grants in other operating income, respectively.
The remaining amount of U.S. government relief funding which Fresenius Medical Care North America received in the United States under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 (CARES Act) recorded in deferred income was US\$7 million (€6 million) and US\$22 million (€18 million) at June 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\$854 million (€719 million) and US\$1,046 million (€852 million) as of June 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 half of 2021 under various other programs from multiple governments around the world in the amount of €32 million (H1 / 2020: €17 million). In Spain, the agreements made in 2020 with public and private payers were further clarified in the first half of 2021.
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 six months ended June 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 half 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 €640 million and €509 million in the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of this amount, €617 million was paid in cash and €23 million was assumed obligations in the first half of 2021.
In the first half of 2021, Fresenius Medical Care spent €210 million (H1/ 2020: €149 million) on acquisitions, mainly on the purchase of dialysis clinics.
In the first half of 2021, Fresenius Kabi spent €1 million (H1/ 2020: €12 million) on acquisitions, mainly for already planned acquisition related milestone payments relating to the acquisition of the biosimilars business.
In the first half of 2021, Fresenius Helios spent €429 million (H1/ 2020: €342 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.
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 comprises 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 €42 million and a goodwill of €340 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 half of 2021, the Eugin Group has contributed €42 million to sales and €5 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 half of 2021 in the amount of €906 million includes special items relating to the Fresenius cost efficiency program (inclusive of FME25 program).
The special items had the following impact on the consolidated statement of income of the first half of 2021:

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).
In May 2021, a dividend of €0.88 per bearer ordinary share was approved by Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and paid afterwards. The total dividend payment was €491 million.
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 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 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, 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 half ended June 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 court unsealed the complaint, allowing the relator to proceed on its own. On January 27, 2021, the Magistrate Judge recommended dismissal of the complaint with prejudice and without leave to amend. The relator is appealing the Magistrate Judge's recommendation.
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 July 9, 2021, the United States declined to intervene in the matter. On July 13, 2021, the Court allowed the relators' complaint to be unsealed. The relators may elect to serve the complaint.
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 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 seeks 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 is cooperating in the investigation.
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.

Currently, solely LTIP 2018 can be used to grant performance shares.
During the first half of 2021, Fresenius SE &Co. KGaA received cash of €16 million from the exercise of 499,614 stock options.
Of the 5,511,960 outstanding stock options issued under the 2013 LTIP 5,039,040 were exercisable at June 30, 2021. The members of the Fresenius Management SE Management Board held 648,281 stock options. 39,424 phantom stocks issued under the 2013 LTIP were outstanding at June 30, 2021.

July was characterized worldwide by a regionally varying development of the COVID-19 pandemic with again rising infection numbers mainly due to the delta version. Largescale 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 the impact on Fresenius remain uncertain.
Beyond that, there have been no significant changes in the Fresenius Group's operating environment following the end of the first half of 2021. With the exception of the entering into new revolving credit facilities as described in note 12, Debt, 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 half 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.

To Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements - comprising the consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes - and the interim group management report of Fresenius SE&Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, for the period from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 which are part of the half-year financial report pursuant to § [Article] 115 WpHG [Wertpapierhandelsgesetz: German Securities Trading Act]. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports is the responsibility of the Management Board of Fresenius Management SE (the general partner). Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW) and additionally observed the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with moderate assurance, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU nor that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
