DEVELOPMENT IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2024 While the European Central Bank (ECB) left its global growth projections for 2024 and the following years broadly unchanged since the end of the first quarter, it has raised its forecast for real gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the euro area to $0.9 \%$. The ECB sees rising household incomes, foreign demand and the recovery of corporate investment as the main drivers of this development. Average HICP (Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices) inflation in the euro area declined to $2.4 \%$ by April 2024 and is expected by the ECB to be around $2.5 \%$ in the coming quarters. In June, the central bank lowered the key interest rate for the euro area by 0.25 percentage points to $4.25 \%$.
The Federal Reserve's (FED) forecasts for GDP growth in the USA in 2024 ( $2.1 \%$ ) and subsequent years remained unchanged in second quarter. In June, the FED, on the other hand, raised its inflation forecast for 2024 slightly; it now stands at $2.6 \%$. The key interest rate range was left at 5.25 to $5.5 \%$.
In this environment, the DAX rose by around 9\% and reached a new all-time high in the first half of 2024. At the same time, it performed significantly better than the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which gained around 4\%. Fresenius shares closed at $€ 27.88$ on June 28, 2024, a decline of around $1 \%$ since the end of 2023.

At Fresenius, we live up to our promise „committed to life". We offer healthcare products and services for critically and chronically ill individuals, in line with the megatrends of health and demographics. We improve people's lives by providing high-quality and affordable healthcare. In doing so, we consider significant paradigm shifts in the healthcare environment with regards to biologic products and therapies, technological change, and new forms of data generation, processing, and usage.
Patients are always in the focus of our activities. Our goal is to expand Fresenius' position as a leading global provider of products, services, and therapies for critically and chronically ill people. At the same time, we want to grow profitably and use our capital efficiently, in order to create value for our stakeholders and enable us to continue investing in better medicine.
For more efficient and focused management, since the beginning of 2023 we have differentiated between our Operating Companies, Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios, which we own 100\%, and our Investment Company, Fresenius Medical Care, in which we hold 32\%.
In the fiscal year 2023, we deconsolidated the Fresenius Medical Care business segment. Further information can be found in the "Deconsolidation of Fresenius Medical Care" section. The exit from the investment company Fresenius Vamed was announced in the fiscal year 2024.
Fresenius operates in key healthcare areas indispensable for critically and chronically ill patients. We continuously develop our business segments and strive to assume leading positions in system-critical healthcare markets and segments. We orient our portfolio towards healthy, profitable growth, a strong focus on margins and capital returns,
and the highest ambitions for operational excellence and competitiveness.
At Fresenius, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of quality and integrity. All of our business segments make an overall contribution to increasing the quality, affordability, and efficiency of healthcare as well as patient satisfaction. At the same time, we care for our environment by protecting nature and using its resources carefully.
Fresenius Kabi's commitment is to improve the quality of life of its patients. The quality and safety of its products and services is thus of paramount importance to Fresenius Kabi.
Fresenius Helios hospitals are characterized by high standards of treatment quality, hygiene, patient safety, and quality of care.
At Fresenius, we combine our medical expertise with extensive production capacities, and clinical practice with technology know-how to continuously improve therapies for our patients. We will continue building on our strength in technology, our competence and quality in patient care, and our ability to manufacture cost-effectively. Developing products and systems that provide a high level of safety and user-friendliness and enable tailoring to individual patient needs is an inherent part of our strategy of sustainable and profitable growth.
We plan to develop more effective products and treatment methods for critically and chronically ill patients in order to offer best-in-class medical standards. Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role - whether it is in healthcare facilities or in production. It drives innovative technologies and treatment concepts and can contribute to solving numerous challenges in the healthcare system (see Annual Report 2023 p. 137).
The commitment of our more than 175,000 employees worldwide is key for the success and sustained growth of Fresenius. We firmly believe in a culture of diversity, as we are convinced that different perspectives, opinions, experiences, and values enable Fresenius to continue successfully growing as a global healthcare company.
In the 2024 fiscal year, we continue to advance our #Future Fresenius program in order to transform our Group and position it for the coming decades. We already made great progress, particularly in the structural progression of the Group.
The healthcare industry has a long runway for growth, which will be accelerated by quickly evolving technologies, new therapies such as biopharmaceuticals, more and more professional steering of patient journeys, and digitalization. We want Fresenius to be at the forefront of these trends and have thus charted our course to continued system relevance in our businesses.
The first step of this journey was a Reset: strengthening our return focus, driving structural productivity, and creating change momentum across the organization. We are now in the Revitalize phase, driving our continuous portfolio optimization and gearing Fresenius towards the pursuit of growth verticals.
In the 2023 fiscal year, the deconsolidation of Fresenius Medical Care and targeted divestments sharpened the focus of the portfolio and achieved structural simplification. The announced exit from the Investment Company Vamed completes the strategic portfolio restructuring as part of #FutureFresenius. Clear structures and responsibilities were also defined with the initiation of a new operating model. This framework will enable us to steer and improve performance in a more targeted manner in future based on the Fresenius Financial Framework.
We orient our portfolio to three platforms: (Bio)Pharma including clinical nutrition, MedTech, and Care Provision. With these platforms, we cater to major trends in healthcare and become a leading therapy-focused company. The health and quality of life of our patients who we serve with high-quality, affordable products and services is at the core. At the same time, our platforms address attractive value pools in healthcare, which will provide opportunities for future profitable growth.
We will focus growth investments on the core business areas of the three platforms wherever possible. Thus, we will safeguard that we have a sound capital structure and sufficient funds to take advantage of future growth prospects.
As part of our ongoing portfolio optimization, we completed, among others, the sale of the Eugin Group on January 31, 2024. The disposal of the majority interest in a coholding entity of the Clínica Ricardo Palma hospital in Lima, Peru, and the resulting exit from the Peruvian hospital business were completed on April 23, 2024. On March 1, 2024, Fresenius Kabi closed the transfer of its plant in Halden, Norway, to HP Halden Pharma AS, a company of the Prange Group. Within the Fresenius Group, we will under our operating model - provide strategic direction, effective governance and risk management and provide targeted services to the benefit of our segments and the overall capital efficiency of the Group.
The announced exit from the Investment Company Vamed completes the strategic portfolio restructuring as part of #FutureFresenius. The exit is carried out in three parts: 1) The already announced sale of $67 \%$ of Vamed's rehabilitation business to the private equity company PAI. Closing of this transaction is expected in the second half of 2024 2) Vamed's operations in Austria to be sold to an Austrian consortium of the construction companies Porr and Strabag for a total purchase price of $€ 90$ million.
3) The Health Tech Engineering (HTE) segment, which is responsible for the international project business and accounts for around $15 \%$ of Vamed's revenue, will gradually be scaled back in an orderly manner. The process should largely be completed by 2026. Until then, the business will be reported as a special item outside Fresenius' core business. Current project contracts will be fulfilled.
Vamed's High-End-Services (HES) which offers services for Fresenius Helios and other hospitals, will be transferred to Fresenius. HES is a stable business with good growth prospects and accounts for around $30 \%$ of Vamed's revenues. The profitability of HES is in the mid-single-digit percentage range.
The divestments of the rehabilitation business and the operations in Austria lead to non-cash special items of around $€ 573$ million, of which $€ 441$ million was attributable to the shareholders of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA and $€ 132$ million to the non-controlling interests of the Fresenius Group.
Due to the exit from the project business, a high triple-digit-million euro amount of special items are expected in total, which are spread over the next few years and mostly cash-effective. A total of $€ 425$ million at Group EBIT level and to $€ 343$ million at Group net income level already incurred in H1 2024.
As of Q2 2024, Vamed is no longer a reporting segment of Fresenius. In addition to reducing complexity, this step improves the Group's profitability. It also reduces net debt and increases the Group's return on invested capital (ROIC). Last but not least, the transparency and quality of earnings are enhanced significantly.
After the announced exit from Vamed, Fresenius consists of the two Operating Companies Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios (each with 100\% ownership share) and the Investment Company Fresenius Medical Care (32\% ownership share).
With the deconsolidation of the Fresenius Medical Care business segment through a change of the legal form of Fresenius Medical Care AG\& Co. KGaA into a stock corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"), we reached a milestone in the implementation of our #FutureFresenius strategy in the fiscal year 2023. The resulting significant reduction in the complexity of the corporate structure creates the conditions for greater flexibility and more efficient, faster decision-making.
Since the entry of Fresenius Medical Care's change of legal form in the commercial register on November 30, 2023, the investment in Fresenius Medical Care is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28.
Structural productivity improvements are expected to offset macro headwinds and to create financial flexibility for future growth investments in the coming years.
Under the program, Fresenius realized $-\epsilon 68$ million incremental structural cost savings at EBIT level in H1/24. In the same period, one-time costs of $-\epsilon 26$ million incurred to achieve these savings.
The Group-wide cost and efficiency measures are progressing faster than planned. Fresenius has achieved structural cost savings totaling $-\epsilon 336$ million at EBIT level in the first half of 2024.
For the remainder of the year, Fresenius will continue its efforts to further increase its structural productivity. Some measures that were planned for 2025 will be brought forward to the current financial year. The company aims to achieve the target of annual sustainable cost savings of $-\epsilon 400$ million at EBIT level by year-end 2024. Originally, this was expected in 2025.
To reach this target, one-time costs between $-\epsilon 80$ and $€ 100$ million are anticipated between 2024 and 2025. These costs will continue to be classified as special items in line with previous practice.
The sustainable cost savings continue to be driven by all business segments and the Corporate Center. Key elements include measures to reduce complexity, optimize supply chains and improve procurement processes.
For Fresenius, sustainability is an integral part of its business model. The company is working to establish global sustainability standards and continuously improve its own sustainability performance. To this end, Fresenius continued to drive forward its ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) initiatives. Fresenius has set a climate target for the Group complementing its existing sustainability targets and programs. The company aims to be climate-neutral by 2040 and to reduce $50 \%$ of absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2020 levels. On June 27, 2024, Fresenius announced an additional decarbonization target: The company aims to become net zero by 2050, also including Scope 3 emissions. These emissions were initially reported for fiscal year 2023.
Further information on our sustainability organization and measures can be found in the Non-financial Group Report starting on page 107 of the Annual Report 2023, as well as in the Sustainability Highlights Report 2023 https://sustainability-hub.fresenius.com/2023/en/.
The healthcare sector is one of the world's largest industries and we are convinced that it shows excellent growth opportunities.
The main growth factors are:
In the emerging countries, additional drivers are:
Healthcare structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identified in order to contain the steadily rising healthcare expenditures. However, such measures cannot compensate for the cost pressure. Market-based elements are increasingly being introduced into the healthcare system to create incentives for cost- and quality-conscious behavior. Overall treatment costs will be reduced through improved quality standards.
In addition, ever-greater importance is being placed on disease prevention and innovative reimbursement models linked to treatment quality standards.
In addition, increasing digitization in healthcare can contribute to improved cost efficiency and patient care.
The industry-specific framework for the operating business of the Fresenius Group remained essentially unchanged in the reporting period.
In the period under review, the overall challenging macroeconomic environment continued to be characterized by geopolitical tensions, elevated cost levels due to inflation as well as persistently high interest rates.
Despite the challenging market environment, the structural growth drivers in the non-cyclical healthcare markets are in place.
The legal framework for the operating business of the Fresenius Group remained essentially unchanged in the period under review.
Currency exchange rate effects can be found in the statement of comprehensive income on page 29. The extraordinarily high inflation in Argentina and the associated devaluation of the Argentinian peso had a negative impact on the consolidated income statement.
In the period under review, the Fresenius Group was involved in various legal disputes resulting from business operations. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these disputes, none is expected to have a significant adverse impact on the assets and liabilities, financial position, and results of operations of the Group.
We carefully monitor and evaluate country-specific, political, legal, and financial conditions regarding their impact on our business activities. This also applies to the potential impact of inflation and currency risks.
As part of the portfolio optimization, the sale of the fertility services group Eugin was completed on January 31, 2024. The divestment of the majority stake in the hospital Clinica Ricardo Palma hospital in Lima, Peru, was completed on April 23, 2024. Therefore, results of operations and financial positon of Fresenius Helios and accordingly of the Fresenius Group are adjusted.
Growth rates of Fresenius Kabi are adjusted. Adjustments relate to the hyperinflation in Argentina. Accordingly, growth rates of the Fresenius Group are also adjusted.
With the announced exit from Vamed results of operations and financial positon of the Fresenius Group are adjusted.

As of June 30, 2024, the number of employees was 175,771 (Dec. 31, 2023: 193,865). The decrease in the number of employees is mainly due to the business activities of Fresenius Vamed (discontinued operations) and other business activities held for sale.

| Outlook |
Compared to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the management report as of December 31, 2023, applying section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS, there have been the following important developments in Fresenius Group's overall opportunities and risk situation until June 30, 2024.
In summary, the risks to our net assets, financial position and results of operations remain essentially unchanged compared to the aforementioned presentation. In general, there are still considerable uncertainties, in particular due to a possible deterioration in the global macroeconomic outlook.
In addition, we continue to face a very pronounced general cyber security threat situation, especially in relation to our healthcare facilities and production sites. The war in Ukraine and the tension between the Russian government and the countries that support Ukraine's efforts continues to be an influential factor.
Furthermore, risks arising from increasing price pressure (e.g. centralized tender processes on national as well as regional level) and risks resulting from an increase in competition in selected markets represent considerable challenges for the Fresenius Group. Beyond that, potential changes within reimbursement systems and adjustments to reimbursement rates may lead to substantial risks.
Supply chain disruptions - for example as a result of certain dependencies on individual suppliers - as well as a shortage of qualified personnel still constitute risks which can adversely affect our business operations.
This also applies to risks in connection with drug approval or quality of products and services as well as with research and development.
Risks continue to arise in connection with the restructuring and transformation program at Fresenius Vamed, especially resulting from the wind-down of the international project business at Fresenius Vamed, and any potentially connected risks. We can still not exclude the possibility, that more far-reaching financial effects arise from the implementation of individual measures of the restructuring and transformation program, which may negatively impact Fresenius Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations.
Currency and interest rate risks as well as risks resulting from increased indebtedness, a shortage in liquidity and a deterioration of our refinancing ability continue to be relevant for the Group.
In addition, errors in financial or non-financial reporting can have a material impact on Fresenius. In the area of non-financial reporting, for example, the extensive reporting requirements of the EU Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are effective for the reporting year 2024.
All Group companies are subject to extensive data protection regulations (in the EU, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). Despite well-established data protection management systems, data protection incidents cannot be ruled out, as almost all procedures and processes in the Group are relevant under data protection law.
The financial investment in Fresenius Medical Care results in a continued dividend risk for the Fresenius Group. This risk may arise from a deviation from the dividend payment recognized in the financial planning. Therefore, we monitor business developments closely and adjust potential fluctuations in the financial planning accordingly.
Fire and fire protection risks in connection with our production and healthcare facilities are an important part of our risk register also due to past fire incidents. Fire protection is an elementary component of occupational health
and safety and is reinforced accordingly with suitable measures to prevent the outbreak of fires at our locations.
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. Affected expert functions analyze current information about such matters for probable losses and provide accruals for such matters, including estimated expenses for legal services, as appropriate. We report on legal proceedings on page 54 in the notes of this report.
Overall, the above-mentioned factors can have a negative impact on our net assets, financial position, and results of operations.
OUTLOOK 2024
Fresenius expects general cost inflation to continue at a slightly lower level in the 2024 fiscal year and the current geopolitical tensions to persist. Fresenius also expects interest rates to remain at a similar level to 2023.
Irrespective of this, the Management Board considers the business outlook for the Group to be positive and expects a successful fiscal year 2024.
Fresenius will continue to closely monitor the potential impact of increased volatility and reduced visibility on its business and balance sheet.
All of these assumptions are subject to considerable uncertainty.
Fresenius confirms its outlook for FY/24. ${ }^{1}$
Based on the excellent first half year, Fresenius is optimistic to get Group constant currency EBIT ${ }^{3,4}$ growth into the upper half of 6 to 10\% range. For 2024, Group organic revenue growth ${ }^{2,4}$ is expected to be between $4 \%$ to $7 \%$.
Fresenius Kabi expects organic revenue growth in a mid-to high-single-digit percentage range in 2024. The EBIT margin ${ }^{4}$ is expected to be in a range of $15 \%$ to $16 \%$ (structural margin band: $14 \%$ to $17 \%$ ).
Fresenius Helios expects organic revenue to grow ${ }^{4}$ in a mid-single digit percentage range in 2024. The EBIT margin ${ }^{4}$ is expected to be between $10 \%$ and $11 \%$.
The adjustment of the Group outlook also reflects the fact that the forecast is now given without Fresenius Vamed, i.e. exclusively for the Operating Companies Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios. Following the announcement of the planned divestment of Fresenius Vamed's rehabilitation business, Fresenius has initiated its structured exit from its Investment Company Fresenius Vamed.

${ }^{1}$ Refere special items
For fiscal year 2024, we expect selling, general, and administrative expenses (before special items) as a percentage of consolidated net revenue to remain broadly stable compared to 2023 (2023: 11.5\%).
For fiscal year 2024, we expect a tax rate between $25 \%$ and $26 \%$ (2023: $27.0 \%$ ).
Structural productivity improvements are expected to offset macro headwinds and to create financial flexibility for future growth investments in the coming years.
Under the program, Fresenius realized $€ 68$ million incremental structural cost savings at EBIT level in H1/24. In the same period, one-time costs of $€ 26$ million incurred to achieve these savings.
The Group-wide cost and efficiency measures are progressing faster than planned. Fresenius has achieved structural cost savings totaling $€ 336$ million at EBIT level in the first half of 2024.
For the remainder of the year, Fresenius will continue its efforts to further increase its structural productivity. Some measures that were planned for 2025 will be brought forward to the current financial year. The company aims to achieve the target of annual sustainable cost savings of $€ 400$ million at EBIT level by year-end 2024. Originally, this was expected in 2025.
To reach this target, one-time costs between $€ 80$ and $€ 100$ million are anticipated between 2024 and 2025. These costs will continue to be classified as special items in line with previous practice.
The sustainable cost savings continue to be driven by all business segments and the Corporate Center. Key elements include measures to reduce complexity, optimize supply chains and improve procurement processes.
For fiscal year 2024, we expect a cash conversion rate of around 1.0 .
In addition, undrawn credit lines under syndicated or bilateral credit facilities from banks provide us with sufficient financial headroom.
Financing activities in 2024 are largely geared to refinancing existing financial liabilities maturing in 2024 and 2025.
We expect interest rates in fiscal year 2024 to be on a similar level to 2023, resulting in interest expense of $€ 420$ million to $€ 440$ million, depending on financing activities.
Without further acquisitions and divestments, Fresenius expects the net debt/EBITDA ${ }^{1}$ ratio at the end of 2024 to be within the self-imposed target corridor of $3.0 \times$ to $3.5 \times$ (December 31, 2023: 3.76x). Further improvement in the second half of 2024 is expected. This is expected to be driven by further reducing net debt and by the operational performance at the Operating Companies.
There are no significant changes in the financing strategy planned for 2024.
In 2024, we expect to invest about 5\% of revenue in property, plant and equipment. About 54\% of the capital expenditure planned will be invested at Fresenius Helios and about 39\% at Fresenius Kabi.
Fresenius Helios will primarily invest in measures at the individual hospital locations in Germany and in new hospital buildings and expansions in Spain.
Fresenius Kabi will mainly invest in expansion and maintenance in 2024. This includes, in particular, the expansion of production facilities and in-licensing projects for biosimilar molecules.
With a share of around $80 \%$, Europe is the regional focus of investment in the planning period. Around 12\% of the investments are planned for North America and around 8\% for Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. About 33\% of total funds will be invested in Germany.
For 2024, we expect return on invested capital to be around $6.0 \%$ (previously: $5.4 \%$ to $6.0 \%$ ) (2023: $5.2 \%$ ).
For fiscal year 2024, we expect the equity ratio to increase about 5 percentage points compared to fiscal year 2023 (2023: 43\%). Furthermore, we expect that financial liabilities in relation to total assets will slightly decrease in fiscal year 2023 (2023: 35\%).
With the Fresenius Financial Framework, Fresenius aims to generate attractive and predictable dividend yields. In line with its progressive dividend policy, the Company aims to increase the dividend in line with earnings per share growth (before special items, in constant currency), but at least maintain the dividend at the prior-year's level. Due to legal restrictions as a result of the use of government compensation and reimbursement payments for increased energy costs provided for in the Hospital Financing Act, however, Fresenius did not propose to the 2024 Annual General Meeting to distribute a dividend for the 2023 fiscal year. Irrespective of the legally required suspension of dividend payments for the fiscal year 2023, Fresenius will maintain its dividend policy in the future.
As of fiscal year 2023, the qualitative measurement of fiscal years 2021 and 2022 will be replaced by quantitative ESG KPIs in the short-term variable Management Board remuneration (Short-term Incentive - STI). The KPIs cover the key sustainability topics of medical quality/patient satisfaction and employees.
The topic of employees is measured with the key figure of the Employee Engagement Index (EEI) for the Fresenius Group. Fresenius is aiming for an EEI of 4.33 (achieved 2023: 4.13 ex FMC; 4.24 incl. FMC) for fiscal year 2024 (corresponds to 100\% target achievement).
The Medical Quality/Patient Satisfaction topic is composed of equally weighted key figures that are defined at the business segment level. The indicators are based on the respective relevance for the business model.
Fresenius Kabi aims for an Audit \& Inspection Score of at most 2.3 (achieved 2023: 1.9; 100\% target achievement).
Helios Germany aims to achieve an Inpatient Quality Indicator (G-IQI) score of at least 88\% (achieved 2023: 88.7\%; 100\% target achievement), and Helios Spain aims to achieve a score of at least 55\% (achieved 2023: 76.7\%; 100\% target achievement).
Fresenius Vamed aims to achieve a patient satisfaction score of at least 1.57 (achieved 2023: 1.56; 100\% target achievement) in fiscal year 2024.

Fresenius is a global healthcare company and offers solutions to the social challenges posed by a growing and aging population and the resulting need for affordable, high-quality healthcare. Besides the activities of the parent company Fresenius SE $\boldsymbol{\text { E }}$ Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. H., Germany, the activities are organized amongst the following legally independent business segments as of June 30, 2024:
As of January 1, 2023, the business segments are differentiated between operating companies (Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios) and investment companies (Fresenius Medical Care and Fresenius Vamed). Starting with the second quarter of 2024, Fresenius Vamed is no longer a reporting segment of Fresenius. Since May 2024, parts of the business segment Fresenius Vamed have been accounted for as discontinued operations. Since November 30, 2023, Fresenius Medical Care has been accounted for at equity in accordance with IAS 28.
The reporting and functional currency of the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to improve the clarity of presentation, amounts are generally presented in million euros. Amounts less than $€ 1$ million, after rounding, are marked with " 0 ".
In May 2024, the Fresenius Group initiated the structured exit from its investment company Fresenius Vamed. The exit takes place in three steps:
The Vamed High-End Services (HES) business unit, which provides services for Fresenius Helios and other hospitals, will be transferred to Fresenius.
From May 2024, in accordance with IFRS 5, the rehabilitation business and the Vamed activities in Austria will be reported as a separate item (discontinued operations) in the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated statement of cash flows as well as in the consolidated statement of financial position (assets held for sale). IFRS 5
requires valuation at fair value which corresponds to the purchase price. The fair value of the rehabilitation business and the Vamed activities in Austria was below the carrying amount of the net assets as at the valuation date. As a result, a non-cash special item of $€ 573$ million was recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Fresenius Group, of which $€ 441$ million was attributable to the shareholders of Fresenius SE $\boldsymbol{\text { E }}$ Co. KGaA and $€ 132$ million to the noncontrolling interests of the Fresenius Group. The expenses are reported as part of the net income from discontinued operations. After completion of the transaction, the investment in the rehabilitation business will be accounted for at equity.
Due to the application of IFRS 5, the prior year and prior quarter figures of the current year have been adjusted in the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated statement of cash flows.
As a result of the exit from the project business, Fresenius Vamed remeasured the business activities to be wound down and recognized special items of $€ 425$ million in the first half of 2024. These are attributable in particular to impairments of contract assets, receivables and inventories as well as of loans and investments and to restructuring expenses as well as the recognition of corresponding provisions.
The exit from the project business is expected to result in special items in the high three-digit million euro range, which will be spread over several years and will mainly be cash effective.
Fresenius SE 6 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, 2023. 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, 2023.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and interim management report for the first half and the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 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, 2023 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU.
Except for the reported sale of the Eugin group (see note 2, Acquisitions, investments and divestitures), 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, 2024 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 ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fiscal year 2024.
The prior year figures have been adjusted in the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and in the corresponding notes due to the application of IFRS 5 for the deconsolidated Fresenius Medical Care operations and the discontinued operations of Fresenius Vamed.
In the consolidated statement of financial position, financial assets and liabilities are now reported separately to enhance transparency. The items "Other current assets"
and "Other non-current assets" are divided into "Other financial assets" and "Other assets". "Short-term provisions and other short-term liabilities" as well as "Long-term provisions and other long-term liabilities" are divided into "Other financial liabilities" and "Provisions and other liabilities".
In addition, the items "Short-term debt" and "Current portion of long-term debt" are combined and renamed in "Debt."
The prior year figures have been adjusted to conform with the disclosure in the current year.
In the first half of 2024, the German clinics of the Fresenius Group received government compensation payments and reimbursements to compensate for increased energy prices and costs indirectly caused by the increase in energy prices in the amount of $€ 48$ million ( $\mathrm{H} 1 / 2023$ : $€ 88$ million). In the consolidated statement of income, a pro rata amount of approximately $€ 100$ million was realized in the first half of 2024 also from the payments already received in 2023.
In the first half of 2024, Fresenius Helios has used subsidies for investments in property, plant and equipment in the amount of $€ 13$ million ( $\mathrm{H} 1 / 2023$ : $€ 14$ million), that were offset in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the item purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Due to inflation in Argentina, Fresenius Group's subsidiaries operating in Argentina apply IAS 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. For the first half of 2024, the application of IAS 29 resulted in an effect on net income from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA of $€ 15$ million (H1/2023: $€ 21$ million) included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The ongoing re-translation effects of hyperinflationary accounting and its impact on comparative amounts are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated financial statements.
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 first half ended June 30, 2024 in conformity with IFRS, as adopted by the EU, that must be applied for the interim periods starting on or after January 1, 2024.
For the first half of 2024, the following new standard relevant for Fresenius Group's business was applied for the first time:
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, and October 31, 2022, the IASB deferred the effective date. The amendments to IAS 1 are now effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.
The adoption of IAS 1 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Fresenius Group.
All other mandatory new IFRS standards and interpretations had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Fresenius Group.
V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED The IASB issued the following new standard relevant for the Fresenius Group's business:
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 amends a number of other standards and replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. However, the new standard carries forward most of its requirements while introducing new guidance to increase transparency and comparability of financial statements. IFRS 18 requires structuring the statement of profit or loss in three newly defined categories and enhanced disclosures for company-specific measures, among others.
IFRS 18 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of IFRS 18 on the consolidated financial statements.
The EU Commission's endorsement of IFRS 18 is still outstanding.
In the Fresenius Group's view, there are no other IFRS standards or interpretations not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Fresenius Group made acquisitions, investments and purchases of intangible assets of $€ 45$ million and $€ 18$ million in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of this amount, $€ 49$ million was paid in cash in the first half of 2024, including $€ 4$ million in subsequent purchase price payments already recognized as liabilities.
In the first half of 2024, Fresenius Kabi spent $€ 45$ million (H1/2023: €16 million) on acquisitions, mainly for milestone payments relating to the acquisition of Merck KGaA's biosimilars business which were already recognized as liabilities as part of the acquisition.
In the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, Fresenius Helios did not incur any acquisition expenses.
On May 2, 2024, the Fresenius Group announced that it will sell a $67 \%$ majority stake in Vamed's rehabilitation business to PAI Partners, an international private equity firm. Upon completion of the transaction, the Fresenius Group will hold a 33\% stake in the company. The rehabilitation business comprises 67 facilities with 9,100 beds and around 9,500 employees (FTE) across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and the UK. Subject to regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024.
On May 8, 2024, the Fresenius Group announced that it initiated the structured exit from its investment company Fresenius Vamed. An Austrian consortium of construction companies Porr and Strabag has agreed to acquire Vamed's activities in its Austrian home market. The transaction
Net income from Fresenius Vamed's discontinued operations (including special items) was comprised of the following:
| $€$ in millions | H1/2024 | H7/2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 709 | 671 |
| Income before income taxes | 11 | $-5$ |
| Income taxes | $-1$ | 2 |
| Net income | 10 | $-3$ |
| Loss due to subsequent remeasurement of discontinued operations at fair value less cost to sell | $-573$ | - |
| Net income from discontinued Fresenius Vamed operations under IFRS 5 | $-563$ | $-3$ |
includes Vamed's entities responsible for the technical management of the Vienna General Hospital (AKH Wien), the Austrian project business that is part of Vamed's Health Tech Engineering business unit and shares in several spas throughout Austria.
Vamed's High-End Services (HES) business unit, which provides services for Fresenius Helios and other hospitals, will be transferred to Fresenius. The Health Tech Engineering business unit outside Austria, which is responsible for the international project business, will gradually be scaled back in an orderly manner. The process should largely be completed by 2026.
In the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the first half and the second quarter of 2024 as well as in the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2024, the business units earmarked for sale of Fresenius Vamed are therefore reported as separate items (discontinued operations and assets held for sale, respectively).
For a more appropriate presentation of the financial effects, eliminations of intercompany transactions with Fresenius Vamed have been allocated to discontinued Fresenius Vamed operations, taking into account future supply and service relationships. As of June 30, 2024, the cumulative losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) relating to the discontinued Fresenius Vamed operations amounted to $€ 57$ million.
On November 8, 2023, the Fresenius Group signed an agreement to sell the Eugin group to the global fertility group IVI RMA (a KKR portfolio company) and GED Capital. Following the receipt of the regulatory approvals, the transaction was completed on January 31, 2024. The sale only comprises the Eugin group. Fresenius Helios' wellestablished legacy business of fertility treatments in selected hospitals and outpatient centers of Quirónsalud and Helios Germany will remain with Fresenius Helios and continue to offer fertility treatments. The sales price is composed of a fixed cash payment and possible further performancerelated payments. For the disposal of the Eugin group, an
impairment loss of $€ 231$ million was recognized in 2023 in connection with the classification as an asset held for sale, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income and classified as a special item. A deconsolidation loss of $€ 6$ million was recognized in the first quarter of 2024, which is mainly included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income and classified as a special item.
On November 14, 2023, the Fresenius Group signed an agreement to transfer its plant in Halden, Norway, to HP Halden Pharma AS, a company of the Prange Group. The Prange Group, together with its affiliate Adragos Pharma, will take over the manufacturing facility with equipment as well as employees and will continue to manufacture Fresenius Kabi's products. The transaction was completed on March 1, 2024. For the disposal, an impairment loss of $€ 20$ million was recognized in connection with the classification as an asset held for sale in 2023, which is included in costs of revenue in the consolidated statement of income
and classified as a special item. In the first quarter of 2024, a loss from the disposal of assets of around $€ 5$ million was recognized, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income and classified as a special item.
On October 31, 2023, the Fresenius Group signed an agreement to sell its 70 percent stake in IDCQ CRP, a co-holding entity of the hospital Clínica Ricardo Palma in Lima, Peru. The stake is acquired by entities of the Verme family which already held a stake in the hospital, together with other local investors. After regulatory approvals, the transaction was completed on April 23, 2024. The sales price was paid in the form of a fixed cash payment upon completion of the transaction. For the disposal of the hospital in Peru, no impairment loss was recognized in the first quarter of 2024 in connection with the classification as an asset held for sale and the assets were recognized at their carrying amount. A deconsolidation gain of $€ 32$ million was recognized in the first half of 2024, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income and classified as a special item.
The following assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale, which mainly relate to the discontinued operations of Fresenius Vamed as of June 30, 2024 and mainly to the Eugin group as of December 31, 2023:

As of January 1, 2024, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA consisted of 563,237,277 bearer ordinary shares.
During the first half of 2024, no stock options were exercised. Consequently, as of June 30, 2024, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA consisted of 563,237,277 bearer ordinary shares. The shares are issued as non-par value shares. The proportionate amount of the subscribed capital is $€ 1.00$ per share.
In order to fulfill the subscription rights under the current stock option plan 2013 of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA, Conditional Capital IV exists (see note 22, Share-based compensation plans). Another Conditional Capital III exists for the authorization to issue option bearer bonds and/or convertible bonds.
The Conditional Capital did not change in the first half of 2024. It was composed as follows as of June 30, 2024:

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 6 Co. KGaA as reported in its statement of financial position determined in accordance with the German Commercial Code (HGB).
As the Fresenius Group makes use of the governmental compensation and reimbursement payments provided for in the relief package to compensate for additional costs caused by the increase in energy prices, the general partner and the Supervisory Board did not propose a dividend distribution for fiscal year 2023 to the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE 6 Co. KGaA on May 17, 2024.
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 healthcare services and products. 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. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is often 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, 2023 applying Section 315e HGB in accordance with IFRS. There have been no significant changes in the first half of 2024.

To Fresenius SE 6 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 6 Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe, for the period from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024 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.
