Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA ("the Company"), the world's largest provider of Dialysis Products and Services, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2007.

North America revenue increased by 3% to \$1,706 million. Dialysis Services revenue grew by 1% to \$1,526 million. Excluding effects of the divestiture of the perfusion business, Dialysis Service revenue increased by 3%. Average revenue per treatment for the U.S. clinics decreased by 1% to \$325 in the fourth quarter 2007 compared to \$328 for the same quarter in 2006. At the same time, due to extremely good cost containment, the comparable costs per treatment decreased by 2% to \$266 per treatment also contributing to a further margin expansion of 70 basis points in North America. Dialysis Product revenue increased by 17% to \$180 million again well above market led by strong sales of our 2008K hemodialysis machines, peritoneal dialysis products and the phosphate binding drug PhosLo.
International revenue was \$863 million, an increase of 24% (12% at constant currency) compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Organic revenue growth of the international segment was 7%.

| 428 | 379 | + 13% |
In North America, the operating margin increased from 17.1% (excluding the effects of one-time items) by 70 basis points to 17.8% due to the new PhosLo business, higher product sales and decreased operating costs per treatment. In the International segment, the operating margin also increased by 70 basis points to 18.4% mainly due to higher growth in the emerging markets and increased efficiencies.
Net interest expense for the fourth quarter 2007 was \$90 million compared to \$96 million in the same quarter of 2006. This positive development was mainly attributable to lower average interest rates and a lower debt level.
Income tax expense was \$135 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 compared to \$99 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting effective tax rates of 39.8% and 38.5%, respectively.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the fourth quarter of 2007 rose by 29% to \$0.67 per ordinary share compared to \$0.52 for the fourth quarter of 2006. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the fourth quarter of 2007 was approximately 296.3 million shares compared to 295.0 million shares for the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in shares outstanding resulted from stock option exercises in 2007.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company generated \$309 million in cash from operations, representing approximately 12% of revenue, clearly ahead of our target. The extremely strong cash flow generation was primarily supported by higher earnings and a stable working capital.
A total of \$184 million was spent for capital expenditures, net of disposals. Free Cash Flow before acquisitions was \$125 million compared to \$266 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 on a reported basis. A total of \$118 million in cash was used for acquisitions.
The operations of Renal Care Group (RCG) are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income and cash flows from April 1, 2006, therefore, the current results for the full year 2007 are not directly comparable with the results of the full year 2006.
Net revenue for 2007 was \$9,720 million, up 14% from 2006. At constant currency, net revenue rose by 12%. Organic growth was 6% in 2007.
Operating income (EBIT) increased by 20% to \$1,580 million compared to \$1,318 million in 2006. Operating income for the full year 2006 includes cost of \$37 million as a result of restructuring, the transformation of the Company's legal form and in-process R&D, and a gain from the clinic divestitures of \$40 million.
Excluding these items, operating income for 2007 increased also by 20%. This performance resulted in an operating margin of 16.3% compared to 15.5% for the year 2006.

Net interest expense for the full year 2007 was \$371 million compared to \$351 million in 2006. The increase was mainly the result of additional interest expense partially offset by the write-off in 2006 of deferred financing costs related to the 2003 senior credit facility of \$15 million, both in conjunction with the financing of the RCG acquisition.
Income tax expense was \$466 million for the full year compared to \$413 million in 2006, reflecting tax rates of 38.5% and 42.8%, respectively. The tax rate for 2006 was impacted by tax payments in the U.S mainly related to the gain on the divestiture of dialysis clinics in the U.S. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate for 2006 was at 39.8%.
For the full year 2007, net income was \$717 million, up 34% from 2006. Net income for 2007 increased by 25% compared to 2006 excluding the effects of one-time items in 2006.
