FRESENIUS SHARE

The Fresenius share had a strong third quarter and closed near its all-time high at € 39.20. In the first nine months, the share gained 5.4% and clearly outperformed the DAX index.

FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF 2014

Following a strong start to the year, stock markets moved laterally in the third quarter amid geopolitical tensions and uncertainty about the world economy. In Europe, growth came to a halt. Gross domestic product in the euro zone is expected to expand by 0.8% in 2014, and GDP growth in the U.S. is forecast at 2.3%. The European Central Bank continued its expansive fi scal policy and set the key interest rate at an all-time low of 0.05%. In the third quarter, the US Federal Reserve continued to reduce its bond purchases and ended them in October. An increase in the key interest rate is not expected before 2015, depending on overall economic growth.

The Fresenius share gained 5.4% in the fi rst nine months of 2014 and closed at € 39.20 on September 30 (December 31, 2013: € 37.20). Despite reaching a record high of 10,029 on July 3, the DAX fell by approximately 1% over the same period. Following the announcement of the company's Q2 results on July 31, the Fresenius share outperformed the DAX, and has been one of the strongest shares in the German benchmark index so far this year.

On August 1, the three-for-one stock split approved by the Annual General Meeting in May became effective.

HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY

The health care sector is one of the world's largest industries. It is relatively insensitive to economic fl uctuations compared to other sectors and has posted above-average growth over the past years.

The main growth factors are rising medical needs deriving from aging populations, the growing number of chronically ill and multimorbid patients, stronger demand for innovative products and therapies, advances in medical technology and the growing health consciousness, which increases the demand for health care services and facilities.

In the emerging countries, drivers are the expanding availability and correspondingly greater demand for basic health care and increasing national incomes and hence higher spending on health care.

Health care structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identifi ed 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 shall 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.

was 10%. In Africa, the decline in sales is mainly due to fl uctuations in the project business at Fresenius Vamed.

Adverse currency translation effects weighed on Group sales in Latin America (- 17%), Asia-Pacifi c (- 4%), Africa (- 5%) and North America (- 3%).

EARNINGS

GENERAL NOTES

1. PRINCIPLES

I. GROUP STRUCTURE

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 hospi tal 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., the operating activities were split into the following legally independent business segments (subgroups) as of September 30, 2014:

  • ▶ Fresenius Medical Care
  • ▶ Fresenius Kabi
  • ▶ Fresenius Helios
  • ▶ Fresenius Vamed

The reporting currency in the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to make the presentation clearer, amounts are mostly shown in million euros. Amounts under € 1 million after rounding are marked with "–".

II. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).

Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, as a stock exchange listed company with a domicile in a member state of the European Union, fulfi lls its obligation to prepare and publish the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applying Section 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). Simultaneously, the Fresenius Group voluntarily prepares and publishes the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The accounting policies underlying these interim fi nancial statements are mainly the same as those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2013.

III. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated fi nancial statements and management report for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 have not been audited nor reviewed and should be read in conjunction with the notes included in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2013, published in the 2013 Annual Report.

Except for the reported acquisitions (see note 2, Acquisitions, divestitures and investments), there have been no other major changes in the entities consolidated.

The consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst three quarters and the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 include all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Management Board, are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to provide an appropriate view of the assets and liabilities, fi nancial position and results of operations of the Fresenius Group.

The results of operations for the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fi scal year 2014.

Classifi cations

Certain items in the consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst three quarters of 2013 and for the year 2013 have been reclassifi ed to conform with the current year's presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IV. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, APPLIED

The Fresenius Group has prepared its consolidated fi nancial statements at September 30, 2014 in conformity with U.S. GAAP in force for interim periods on January 1, 2014.

The Fresenius Group applied the following standards, as far as they are relevant for Fresenius Group's business, for the fi rst time:

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12 (ASU 2014-12), FASB Accounting Standards Codifi cation (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation –

Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is treated as a performance condition. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Fresenius Group utilized and will continue to utilize the guidance updated by this ASU and as such there is no expected impact on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefi t When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The purpose of ASU 2013-11 is to align the fi nancial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefi t when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. In most cases, the unrecognized tax benefi t should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The update is effective for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-11 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-10 (ASU 2013-10), FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The purpose of ASU 2013-10 is to provide the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. This rate will now be available to use along with the U.S. government interest rates and the London Interbank Offered Rate. This update is effective prospectively for new or designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Currently, the Fresenius Group does not intend to utilize the newly available Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate for its hedge accounting.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 (ASU 2013-05), FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters – Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The purpose of ASU 2013- 05 is to provide clarifi cation and further refi nement regarding the treatment of the release of a cumulative translation adjustment into net income. This occurs in instances where the parent sells either a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, as well as when a company ceases to hold a controlling interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofi t activity or business within a foreign entity. The update is effective for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-05 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-05 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-04 (ASU 2013-04), FASB ASC Topic 405, Liabil ities – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligations is Fixed at the Reporting Date. ASU 2013-04's objective is to provide guidance and clarifi cation on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements such as debt arrangements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The update is effective for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-04 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-04 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.

In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-06 (ASU 2011-06), FASB ASC Topic 720, Other Expenses – Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers. The amendments in ASU 2011-06 address how health insurers should recognize and classify their income statement fees mandated by the Health Care and Educational Affordability Reconciliation Act. These amendments require

that the liability for the fee be estimated and recorded in full once the entity provides qualifying health insurance in the applicable calendar year in which the fee is payable. In conjunction, the corresponding deferred cost is amortized to expense using a straight-line allocation method unless another method better allocates the fee over the entire calendar year for which it is payable. In addition, the ASU states that this fee does not meet the defi nition of an acquisition cost. The disclosures required under ASU 2011-06 are effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2013, when the fee initially becomes effective. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2011-06 effective January 1, 2014. ASU 2011-06 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.

V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED

The FASB issued the following relevant new standards for the Fresenius Group:

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-11 (ASU 2014-11), FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing – Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, which aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase fi nancing arrangements with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements, i. e. these transactions will be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-11 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Simultaneously, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published its equivalent revenue standard, IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standards are the result of a convergence project between FASB and the IASB. This update

specifi es how and when companies reporting under U.S. GAAP will recognize revenue as well as providing users of fi nancial statements with more informative and relevant disclosures. ASU 2014-09 supersedes some guidance included in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, some guidance within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and some guidance within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This ASU applies to nearly all contracts with customers, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, lease contracts or insurance contracts). This update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08), FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08's objective is to reduce the complexity and diffi culty in applying guidance for discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08's main focus is to limit the presentation to disposals representing a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations or fi nancial results. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-08 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-05 (ASU 2014-05), FASB ASC Topic 853, Service Concession Arrangements. ASU 2014-05's objective is to specify that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement that is within the scope of ASU 2014-05 as a lease. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-05 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND INVESTMENTS

The Fresenius Group made acquisitions and investments of € 1,861 million and € 442 million in the fi rst three quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of this amount, € 1,647 million was paid in cash and € 214 million was assumed obligations in the fi rst three quarters of 2014.

FRESENIUS MEDICAL CARE

In the fi rst three quarters of 2014, Fresenius Medical Care spent € 919 million on acquisitions. Besides the transaction described separately in the following, this amount mainly comprises the purchase of dialysis clinics and the shortterm investment in available for sale securities.

On June 27, 2014, Fresenius Medical Care announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Sound Inpatient Physicians, Inc., United States, a physician services organization focused on hospitalist and post-acute care services. The transaction in the amount of US\$ 590 million was closed in July 2014.

Furthermore, on October 22, 2014, Fresenius Medical Care announced the acquisition of National Cardiovascular Partners, one of the leading providers of outpatient cardiovascular therapies in the United States.

FRESENIUS KABI

In the fi rst three quarters of 2014, Fresenius Kabi spent € 118 million on acquisitions.

In the fi rst quarter of 2014, Fresenius Kabi purchased further shares in Fresenius Kabi Oncology Ltd., India.

On May 9, 2014, Fresenius Kabi announced the acquisition of the Brasilian pharmaceutical company Novafarma Indústria Farmacêutica Ltda. After antitrust approval, the transaction could be closed on July 3, 2014. Furthermore, on July 4, 2014, Fresenius Kabi acquired two companies in Ecuador, Medisumi, a pharmaceutical distributor, as well as Labfarm, an I.V. antibiotic manufacturer.

FRESENIUS HELIOS

Fresenius Helios spent € 812 million on acquisitions in the fi rst three quarters of 2014. Thereof, € 805 million related to the acquisition of hospitals and outpatient facilities of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Germany. Taking into account the advance payment of € 2,178 million made at the end of the year 2013 in conjunction with this acquisition, the transaction amount added up to € 2,983 million.

In connection with the acquisition of hospitals of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Fresenius Helios sold two hospitals in Borna and Zwenkau in the fi rst quarter of 2014 due to antitrust authority requirements. The corresponding book gain in the amount of € 22 million before tax is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

Acquisition of hospitals of Rhön-Klinikum AG

Between February 27 and July 31, 2014, Fresenius Helios completed the acquisition of 41 hospitals and 13 outpatient facilities of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Germany. In most instances, 100% of the share capital was purchased, only in a few cases 94% to 99% of the share capital was acquired. In relation to HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken, 49% of the share capital was acquired.

The transaction strengthens Fresenius Helios' position as Europe's largest hospital operator and provides the basis for offering nationwide care models across Germany.

Due to contractual conditions, the Fresenius Group was primary benefi ciary of the majority of the acquired hospitals and outpatient facilities for the period from January 1, 2014 until the closing of the majority of the transaction on February 27, 2014. During this period, the Fresenius Group therefore fully consolidated these companies according to regulations for variable interest entities. The majority of the other acquired companies has been fully consolidated as of February 27, 2014. The acquired HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken have been consolidated since June 30, 2014 and the acquired hospital in Cuxhaven has been consolidated since August 1, 2014.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The following table summarizes the current estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. This allocation of the purchase price is based upon the best information available to management at present. Due to the relatively short interval between the

closing date of the acquisition and the date of the statement of fi nancial position, this information may be incomplete. Any adjustments to acquisition accounting, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

€ in millions

Transaction amount 2,983
Net cash acquired - 80
Consideration transferred 3,063
Noncontrolling interest - 2
Goodwill 2,134
Liabilities - 614
Assets 984
Working capital and other assets 328
Trade accounts receivable 233

The goodwill in the amount of € 2,134 million that was acquired as part of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefi ts arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identifi ed and separately recognized. Goodwill arises principally due to the fair value placed on an established stream of future cash fl ows versus building a similar business.

The noncontrolling interests acquired as part of the acquisition are stated at fair value.

In the fi rst three quarters of 2014, the acquired hospitals and outpatient facilities have contributed € 1,300 million to sales and € 110 million to the operating income (EBIT) of the Fresenius Group.

FRESENIUS VAMED

In the fi rst three quarters of 2014, Fresenius Vamed spent € 12 million on acquisitions, mainly for the acquisition of kneipp-hof Dussnang AG, Switzerland.

The corresponding book gain in the amount of € 35 million before tax is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

  1. FRESENIUS SE & CO. KGAA SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

SUBSCRIBED CAPITAL

Capital increase from company's funds (stock split 1 : 3)

On May 16, 2014, the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has resolved a capital increase from company's funds with issuance of new shares. For each existing non-par value share, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA issued two new non-par value shares without additional payment to the shareholders. Accordingly, upon execution of the capital increase, both the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and the number of shares issued tripled (stock split 1 : 3).

After registration of the capital increase with the commercial register on August 1, 2014, the subscribed capital increased to € 540,511,632 (including newly created shares due to options exercised until this date). The new shares have full dividend entitlement for the fi scal year 2014. The proportionate amount of the subscribed capital will continue to be € 1.00 per share.

During the fi rst three quarters of 2014, 2,119,396 stock options were exercised. Consequently, as of September 30, 2014, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA consisted of 541,203,883 bearer ordinary shares. The shares are issued as non-par value shares.

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

In connection with the stock split 1 : 3 described before, by resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2014, the previous Authorized Capital I was revoked and a new Authorized Capital I with a proportionally adjusted amount and a fi ve-year term was created.

In accordance with the new provision in the articles of association of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, the general partner, Fresenius Management SE, is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 15, 2019, to increase Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's subscribed capital by a total amount of up to € 120,960,000 through a single or multiple issues of new bearer ordinary shares against cash contributions and / or contributions in kind (Authorized Capital I).

The number of shares must increase in the same proportion as the subscribed capital. A subscription right must be granted to the shareholders in principle. In defi ned cases, the general partner is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the exclusion of the shareholders' subscription right (e. g. to eliminate fractional amounts). For cash contributions, the authorization can only be exercised if the issue price is not signifi cantly below the stock exchange price of the already listed shares at the time the issue price is fi xed with fi nal effect by the general partner. Furthermore, in case of a capital increase against cash contributions, the proportionate amount of the shares issued with exclusion of subscription rights may not exceed 10% of the subscribed capital. An exclusion of subscription rights in the context of the use of other authorizations concerning the issuance or the sale of the shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has to be taken into consideration during the duration of the Authorized Capital until its utilization. In the case of a subscription in kind, the subscription right can be excluded only in order to acquire a company, parts of a company or a participation in a company.

The authorizations granted concerning the exclusion of subscription rights can be used by Fresenius Management SE only to such extent that the proportional amount of the total number of shares issued with exclusion of the subscription rights does not exceed 20% of the subscribed capital. An exclusion of subscription rights in the context of the use of other authorizations concerning the issuance or the sale of the shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has to be taken into consideration during the duration of the Authorized Capital until its utilization.

OTHER NOTES

19. LEGAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Fresenius Group is routinely involved in numerous 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. For the matters described below in which the Fresenius Group believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, an estimate of the loss or range of loss exposure is provided. For the other matters described below, the 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 diffi cult 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 fi nancial condition.

Further information regarding legal disputes, court proceedings and investigations can be found in detail in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2013 Annual Report. In the following, only the changes during the fi rst three quarters ended September 30, 2014 compared to the information provided in the consolidated fi nancial statements are described. These changes should be read in conjunction with the overall information in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2013 Annual Report; defi ned terms or abbreviations having the same meaning as in the 2013 Annual Report.

W.R. GRACE & CO. LAWSUIT

On February 3, 2014, the Court of Appeals dismissed the last of the appeals of the District Court order confi rming the plan of reorganization, and the Grace Bankruptcy Plan went effective on that date. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Grace Bankruptcy Plan, all actions asserting fraudulent conveyance and other claims raised on behalf of asbestos claimants were dismissed with prejudice and Fresenius Medical Care received protection against existing and potential future W.R. Grace & Co. related claims, including fraudulent conveyance and asbestos claims by operation of injunctions and releases and Fresenius Medical Care also received indemnifi cation against income tax claims related to the non-NMC members of the W.R. Grace & Co. consolidated tax group. Also, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement on February 3, 2014, Fresenius Medical Care paid a total of US\$ 115 million, which had previously been accrued and is included on Fresenius Group's consolidated statement of fi nancial position, to the asbestos personal injury and property damage trusts created under the Grace Bankruptcy Plan. No admission of liability was made.

BAXTER PATENT DISPUTE "TOUCHSCREEN INTER-FACES" (1)

On March 5, 2014, Baxter petitioned the United States Supreme Court to review the decisions of the Federal Circuit. On May 19, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Baxter's petition and let stand the Federal Circuit's order dismissing the case.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION

In addition, similar cases have been fi led in state courts outside Massachusetts, in some of which the judicial authorities have established consolidated proceedings for their disposition.

INTERNAL REVIEW

Fresenius Medical Care has received communications alleging conduct in countries outside the United States and Germany that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or other anti-bribery laws. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of Fresenius Medical Care's

Supervisory Board is conducting an investigation with the assistance of independent counsel. Fresenius Medical Care voluntarily advised the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Fresenius Medical Care's investigation and dialogue with the SEC and DOJ are ongoing. Fresenius Medical Care has received a subpoena from the SEC requesting additional documents and a request from the DOJ for copies of the documents provided to the SEC. Fresenius Medical Care is cooperating with the requests.

Conduct has been identifi ed that may result in monetary penalties or other sanctions under the FCPA or other antibribery laws. In addition, Fresenius Medical Care's ability to conduct business in certain jurisdictions could be negatively impacted. Fresenius Medical Care has previously recorded a non-material accrual for an identifi ed matter. Given the current status of the investigations and remediation activities, Fresenius Medical Care cannot reasonably estimate the range of possible loss that may result from identifi ed matters or from the fi nal outcome of the investigations or remediation activities.

Fresenius Medical Care's independent counsel, in conjunction with Fresenius Medical Care's Compliance Department, have reviewed Fresenius Medical Care's anti-corruption compliance program, including internal controls related to compliance with international anti-bribery laws, and appropriate enhancements are being implemented. Fresenius Medical Care is fully committed to FCPA compliance.

CHINA ANTI-DUMPING INVESTIGATION

On June 13, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) launched an anti-dumping investigation into producers of hemodialysis equipment in the European Union and Japan, which includes certain of the Fresenius Medical Care's subsidiaries. Fresenius Medical Care is cooperating in this investigation and answered questionnaires issued by MOFCOM.

SUBPOENA "MARYLAND"

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

The Fresenius Group regularly analyzes current information including, as applicable, Fresenius Group's defenses and insurance coverage and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of these matters.

The Fresenius Group, like other health care providers, conducts its operations under intense government regulation and scrutiny. It must comply with regulations which relate to or govern the safety and effi cacy of medical products and supplies, the marketing and distribution of such products, the operation of manufacturing facilities, laboratories and dialysis clinics, and environmental and occupational health and safety. With respect to its development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical products, if such compliance is not maintained, the Fresenius Group could be subject to signifi cant adverse regulatory actions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and comparable regulatory authorities outside the United States. These regulatory actions could include warning letters or other enforcement notices from the FDA and / or comparable foreign regulatory authority, which may require the Fresenius Group to expend signifi cant time and resources in order to implement appropriate corrective actions. If the Fresenius Group does not address matters raised in warning letters or other enforcement notices to the satisfaction of the FDA and / or comparable regulatory authorities outside the United States, these regulatory authorities could take additional actions, including product recalls, injunctions against the distribution of products or operation of manufacturing plants, civil penalties, seizures of Fresenius Group's products, and / or criminal prosecution. FMCH is currently engaged in remediation efforts with respect to three pending FDA warning letters, Fresenius Kabi with respect to two pending FDA warning letters. The Fresenius Group must also comply with the laws of the United States, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims

Act, the federal Stark Law and the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as other federal and state fraud and abuse laws. Applicable laws or regulations may be amended, or enforcement agencies or courts may make interpretations that differ from Fresenius Group's interpretations or the manner in which it conducts its business. Enforcement has become a high priority for the federal government and some states. In addition, the provisions of the False Claims Act authorizing payment of a portion of any recovery to the party bringing the suit encourage private plaintiffs to commence

"qui tam" or "whistle blower" actions. By virtue of this regulatory environment, Fresenius Group's business activities and practices are subject to extensive review by regulatory authorities and private parties, and continuing audits, subpoenas, other inquiries, claims and litigation relating to Fresenius Group's compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Fresenius Group may not always be aware that an inquiry or action has begun, particularly in the case of "whistle blower" actions, which are initially fi led under court seal.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

VALUATION OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values as well as the fair value hierarchy levels of Fresenius Group's fi nancial instruments as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, classifi ed into classes:

September 30, 2014 December 31, 2013
€ in millions Fair value
hierarchy level
Carrying
amount
Fair value Carrying
amount
Fair value
Cash and cash equivalents 1 1,035 1,035 864 864
Assets recognized at carrying amount 3 4,282 4,291 3,622 3,629
Assets recognized at fair value 1 134 134 197 197
Liabilities recognized at carrying amount 2 15,782 16,451 13,691 14,225
Liabilities recognized at fair value 2 103 103 16 16
Noncontrolling interest subject to
put provisions recognized at fair value
3 617 617 472 472
Derivatives for hedging purposes 2 24 24 10 10

The signifi cant methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of fi nancial instruments as well as classifi cation of fair value measurements according to the three-tier fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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

The nominal value of short-term fi nancial instruments such as accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt represents its carrying amount, which is a reasonable estimate of the fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

The fair values of major long-term fi nancial instruments are calculated on the basis of market information. Financial instruments for which market quotes are available are measured with the market quotes at the reporting date. The fair

values of the other long-term fi nancial liabilities are calculated at the present value of respective future cash fl ows. To determine these present values, the prevailing interest rates and credit spreads for the Fresenius Group as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position are used.

The class assets recognized at carrying amount consists of trade accounts receivable and a loan which Fresenius Medical Care granted to a middle-market dialysis provider. The fair value of the loan is based on signifi cant unobservable inputs of comparable instruments and thus the class is classifi ed as fair value hierarchy Level 3.

The class assets recognized at fair value is comprised of European government bonds, shares and shares in funds. The fair values of these assets are calculated on the basis of market information. Therefore, this class is classifi ed as Level 1.

The class liabilities recognized at carrying amount is classifi ed as hierarchy Level 2.

The derivatives embedded in the convertible bonds are included in the class liabilities recognized at fair value. The fair values of these derivatives are derived from market quotes. The class was classifi ed as Level 2.

The valuation of the class noncontrolling interest subject to put provisions recognized at fair value is determined using signifi cant unobservable inputs. It is therefore classifi ed as Level 3.

Derivatives, mainly consisting of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, are valued as follows: The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting the future cash fl ows on the basis of the market interest rates applicable for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. To determine the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, the contracted forward rate is compared to the current forward rate for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. The result is then discounted on the basis of the market interest rates prevailing at the date of the statement of fi nancial position for the respective currency.

Fresenius Group's own credit risk is incorporated in the fair value estimation of derivatives that are liabilities. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are factored into the valuation of derivatives that are assets. The Fresenius Group monitors and analyses the credit risk from derivative fi nancial instruments on a regular basis. For the valuation of derivative fi nancial instruments, the credit risk is considered in the fair value of every individual instrument. The basis for the default probability are Credit Default Swap Spreads of each counterparty appropriate for the duration. The calculation of the credit risk considered in the valuation is done by multiplying the default probability appropriate for the duration with the expected discounted cash fl ows of the derivative fi nancial instrument.

In the class derivatives for hedging purposes, stock options are included to secure the convertible bonds. The fair values of these stock options are derived from market quotes. For the fair value measurement of the class deriv atives for hedging purposes, signifi cant other observable inputs are used. Therefore, the class is classifi ed as Level 2 in accordance with the defi ned fair value hierarchy levels.

Currently, there is no indication that a decrease in the value of Fresenius Group's fi nancing receivables is probable. Therefore, the allowances on credit losses of fi nancing receivables are immaterial.

FAIR VALUES OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments, foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments and stock options to secure the convertible bonds are classifi ed as derivatives for hedging purposes.

Derivative fi nancial instruments are marked to market each reporting period, resulting in carrying amounts equal to fair values at the reporting date.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, are also solely entered into to hedge economic business transactions and not for speculative purposes.

Derivatives for hedging purposes as well as the derivatives embedded in the convertible bonds were recognized at gross value within other assets in an amount of € 104 million and other liabilities in an amount of € 167 million.

The current portion of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts indicated as assets in the preceding table is recognized within other current assets in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, while the current portion of those indicated as liabilities is included in short-term accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities. The non-current portions indicated as assets or liabilities are recognized in other non-current assets or in long-term accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. The derivatives embedded in the convertible bonds and the stock options to secure the convertible bonds are recognized in other noncurrent liabilities / assets in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

Gains from derivatives in fair value hedging relationships and from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments recognized in the consolidated statement of income are faced by losses from the underlying transactions in the corresponding amount.

The Fresenius Group expects to recognize a net amount of € 10 million of the existing losses for foreign exchange contracts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of income within the next 12 months. For interest rate contracts, the Fresenius Group expects to recognize € 30 million of losses in the course of normal business during the next 12 months in interest expense.

Gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts and the corresponding underlying transactions are accounted for as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and net interest. Gains and losses resulting from interest rate contracts are recognized as net interest in the consolidated statement of income.

MARKET RISK

General

The Fresenius Group is exposed to effects related to foreign exchange fl uctuations in connection with its international business activities that are denominated in various currencies. In order to fi nance its business operations, the Fresenius Group issues senior notes and commercial papers and enters into mainly long-term credit agreements and euro notes (Schuld scheindarlehen) with banks. Due to these fi nancing activities, the Fresenius Group is exposed to interest risk caused by changes in variable interest rates and the risk of changes in the fair value of statement of fi nancial position items bearing fi xed interest rates.

In order to manage the risk of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fl uctuations, the Fresenius Group enters into certain hedging transactions with highly rated fi nancial institutions as authorized by the Management Board. Derivative fi nancial instruments are not entered into for trading purposes.

The Fresenius Group defi nes benchmarks for individual exposures in order to quantify interest and foreign exchange risks. The benchmarks are derived from achievable and sustainable market rates. Depending on the individual benchmarks, hedging strategies are determined and generally implemented by means of micro hedges.

Securities, which are predominantly held as European government bonds and shares in funds, are generally subject to the risk of changing stock exchange prices. Therefore, the stock exchange prices of these securities are continuously monitored to identify possible price risks on time.

Derivative fi nancial instruments

Classifi cation

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

Fresenius elects not to offset the fair values of derivative fi nancial instruments subject to master netting agreements in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Fresenius Group had € 17 million and € 29 million of derivative fi nancial assets subject to netting arrangements and € 73 million and € 22 million of derivative fi nancial liabilities subject to netting arrangements. Offsetting these derivative fi nancial instruments would have resulted in net assets of € 6 million and € 22 million as well as net liabilities of € 62 million and € 15 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Foreign exchange risk management

Solely for the purpose of hedging existing and foreseeable foreign exchange transaction exposures, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and, on a small scale, foreign exchange options. To ensure that no foreign exchange risks result from loans in foreign currencies, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange swap contracts.

As of September 30, 2014, the notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts totaled € 2,206 million. These foreign exchange contracts have been entered into to hedge risks from operational business and in connection with loans in foreign currency. The predominant part of the foreign

exchange forward contracts to hedge risks from operational business was recognized as cash fl ow hedge, while foreign exchange contracts in connection with loans in foreign currencies are partly recognized as fair value hedges. The fair value of cash fl ow hedges was - € 41 million. As of September 30, 2014, no fair value hedges were recognized in the Fresenius Group.

As of September 30, 2014, the Fresenius Group was party to foreign exchange contracts with a maximum maturity of 20 months.

Interest rate risk management

The Fresenius Group enters into interest rate swaps and, on a small scale, into interest rate options in order to protect against the risk of rising interest rates. These interest rate derivatives are mainly designated as cash fl ow hedges and have been entered into in order to convert payments based on variable interest rates into payments at a fi xed interest rate.

As of September 30, 2014, the interest rate swaps had a notional volume of € 315 million as well as a fair value of - € 7 million, which expire between 2016 and 2022.

In addition, the Fresenius Group also enters into interest rate hedges (pre-hedges) in anticipation of future debt issuance to effectively convert the variable interest rate related to the future debt to a fi xed interest rate. These pre-hedges are settled at the issuance date of the corresponding debt with the settlement amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) amortized to interest expense over the life of the pre-hedges. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Fresenius Group had € 94 million and € 113 million, respectively, related to such settlements of pre-hedges deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

21. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Fresenius Group has a solid fi nancial profi le. As of September 30, 2014, the equity ratio was 39.4% and the debt ratio (debt / total assets) was 39.4%. As of September 30, 2014, the leverage ratio (pro forma, before special items) on the basis of net debt / EBITDA was 3.4.

The aims of the capital management and further information can be found in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2013 Annual Report.
